Firstly what is wrong with someone actually getting on here and saying "gee u were ripped off". Instead u get comments like "oh but what about the other decision that went over the post and clearly through for a point". Did it go over the post or go "clearly" through for a point. I wasn't there but it doesn't quite seem to be in the same category.
Someone brought up a valid point saying that if the player didn't call him a cheat another kick would not have been awarded... Atleast the comment is correct and makes sense. I agree however as a player that on the odd occassion is inclined to disagree with an umpire, decisions like this one seems to be are ******* infuriating and the natural and possibly correct inference is drawn that the guy is a cheat. We need to protect umpires from crazy abuse but wat about protecting the integrity of the game.
Fact is for Elizabeth is that we are four games behind top.[/b] It is not the first time this year a game we won has been taken off us. Hectorville are obviously a very good side It just seems we gave their measure. They too have not faced us any where near full strength. Brahma IMO are a much harder match up for us and if they got over the hoodoo the heccies seem to have on them would beat them comfortably. Ok that's all
He repeatedly swore at the umpire, hence he was sent off, red carded and a free kick was awarded.
Fact is you are 5 games behind 1st.
Point taken on five games however....are you an idiot? My post clearly stated we need to protect umpires from abuse clown.
Booze how about an article in the Budget encouraging clubs to take their boundary and goal umpiring seriously. This incident has cost you the game, a possible double chance and possibly a suspension. I know the SAAFL sets the age minimum at 14 but lets get real, a 14 yr old should not be doing these sort of roles
Pfffft .... give me a break. One decision in the 3rd quarter of a match does not decide a match, no matter how much some might think so.
I've lost count of the number of decisions either as bad or worse that I have seen over the years. Its amateur sport and you will get some bad decisions go against and some for you. Teams need to learn to accept that.
As for 14 yrs old - where did that come from? The guy was in his 20s - who said he was 14?
I also noticed a 2nd player was reported from this match - not sure if it was related to the same incident.
I thought most clubs playing in div 5 would want to get to div 4?
