Ha, one to go, and aren't I looking forward to it. Had an absolute gutfull, apparently I'm an effing cheat and was told recently that I was going to get bashed after the game from a player that I paid a free kick against. The joys .

i wonder how this guy would go with a bad umpire sheesh he'd be on death row

i agree with you LM on the umpiring front mate.
i've done 4 games in the second half of this season and the worst was against a bunch of blokes flogging our lads but a handful of players still questioned every decision i made. there was one bloke who just should not be out there and if i had my time again and had a good view of a couple of incidents it would have been interesting. made me wonder why i was out there giving him a chance to play footy by umpiring the game.
no wonder our b grade ump chucked it in after being abused constantly in another of our home games. it was appalling that day as well.

I know who he's referring to and I support his views, however, I'm not going to bag a club for a couple of bad apples. If Lee Swiderski umpires on the weekend for BOS I'm sure you'll get a good display. You'd know him reasonably well anyway wouldn't you custard.

You'd reckon the bloke doing the abuse from the sidelines would be less inclined to abuse being a former umpire himself but no. It monotonous and boring - very rarely is there any humour in abusing umpires.
The Smithfield supporters weren't shy in giving the umps a spray after the As on Saturday! Left nothing to the imagination about how they felt about them.

I was right there mate, there was only one bloke that was giving them a spray and he got banned from the club for 6 months immediately, most others kept their comments between themselves. One umpire in particular was absolutely shocking and even I had trouble containing my anguish. After speaking to our coach in regards to the umpiring, he said that there was plenty of poor decisions out there being made both ways, I could only pass judgement on what I had seen and heard within my vicinity.
The mouthy bloke isn't much of a regular anyway, I think he was trying to bignote himself and thought it was a way of acceptance, I've been going there for 30 years and have only seen him a couple of times on a Friday night, I don't know his name and don't really care to. I guess I wont be seeing him for the next 6 months anyway.
Having the pub across the road we tend to attract the odd pisshead as our beer is cheaper in the bar than theirs, we try and weed out any trouble-makers but sometimes they come out from left-field, I sure as hell didn't see it coming, he got ushered away pretty quickly anyway but his comments were unnecessay.

I saw the last quarter only and thought the umps were OK. Cant talk about the first 3. IMHO, there were a couple of after disposal incidents that were picked up and penalised SFC. They only had themselves to blame as they were right in it with 10 to go.

Did the Hectorville player (Howie) have to face the tribunal last night? If so how did he go?

I saw his facebook last night and he reckons he's playing, so assuming he got off..

Fair enough. Interesting though that the umpire deemed it serious enough at the time to red card him and send him off for the remainder of the game but then gets off...

I guess I shoudnt be What is surprising is that you can elbow someone in the throat to stop someone running past you but still get no games.
