EP Sport - back with a vengeance

[silicone skyline]

PS: Maybe they should breath test the apprentices before they start on a saturday morning

Wes Bilney cleared to play this Saturday.

It looks like Wes once again played for Marion in the Southern league...

Maybe you should blame one of your forwards for not kicking straight for that one pivotal kick earlier in the match!?
If you won, you wouldn't be complaining.
If you have no umpires, you have no game, if you don't like it, don't watch.
I'm not a fan of Tasmans, i dislike them a lot, but you can't go posting verbal abuse on here, so quit it.
You Tiger boys are doing a reputation no favours, and in a club that claims it's changing and rebuilding, it appears just because of one game you're slipping back to your negative ways.
Move on, take your club, and your attitude forward.[/quote]

Well said SS.

Dont you worry about us panther, if we are bottom at the end of the second round i will give you my moderator status and run down the front street naked

Tips, you have achieved the first part, all you need to do now is get your gear off (if you are still with us)

[silicone skyline]

Take it off, take it off, take it off!

Interesting that a complaint from one poster on here has (allegedly) cost the two moderators their positions, yet we haven't heard from him since

[overloaded]

what is your point eags?

[skipper46]

It does seem odd that 2 mods got turfed by one troll and he has never been heard of since.

Very impressed with Mallee Park on Saturday. They have got a great bunch of experience and youth. Always had the young quick runners, but coupled with the experience of JT, Jas & Michael B, Harry, JJ, Stan W , Betts & co give them a dynamic combo. They were obviously pretty pumped to beat us, given the scenes after the game and mini celebrations after goals. Wouldn't have gone astray in September.....

I thought the umpiring was fine on Saturday

[Dermie]

Geez CU you are copping it on here. Just to clarify the matter does the league itself organise the umps or is there an umpire co-ordinater or umpireing committee that does that, by the way i wasn't at the game or any where near it that this controverse is all about.

One of Chaiman Mao's mottos was "the end justifies the means".

I see in the paper each week that the Ben Simpson from Cummins is always appearing in the best over the past few weeks, i believe that he has been playing CHB. Was he unlucky not to play in the Mortlock Sheild???

I have seen some of his footy @ Jamestown, and he can be a quality player when he wants to!!

[Grain_Grower]

Ben who?

[ravendale rulz]

Congrats to Scooter Easton on 50 games for the killer bees this weekend.

Interesting comment in the times from ML. Was that misquoted or did he mean to say that?

[tiger07andbeyond]

mis-quoted

The current issue with umpires is purely a lack of numbers, and will not be fixed in the short term if at all. Clubs need to realise that without them we don't have a game, and get over it. Concentrate on the things that you can control, and accept that there will be good days and bad days. The real concern is that any young guy out there who may aspire to be an umpire, and saw a respected member of the football community publicly questioning the umpires after the game on the ground and beyond, may decide it is not worth it.

Well said bluestheboy and I agree with you that Leslie should have gone about it differently, through the proper channels.

Why won't former players have a go at umpiring and give something back to the game? It annoys me! Have a look at Todd G he is excelling at it and enjoys it. Why not have a go?
