Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!
- Thread starter iLoVeNeWmAn

The disrefuter would argue just don’t crib the mark. Which is fine if umpires consistently enforced the rules. If they penalised every single infringement. But they don’t. Which is where the frustration comes from. It’s a lottery that we seem to never win.
*smile*. Watch the replay and tell me that’s a metre over. Umpires never get the mark exactly right.
Sorry TBR, think that might've been my Richmond bias showing through.
I have a positive
It always feels like the umpires favour us whenever we're about 4-5 goals down.
Everything seems to go our way, helping us get back into the game. On the other hand, the same thing seems to happen in reverse.
Is this just a perception thing? Style of play? Umpire bias?

The infringements given were fairly equal between the Tigers and the Dog (only 2) but I still had a problem with understanding a couple of the stranger decisions or why a Dogs throwing the ball or HTB are not given
The incident for which Lynch has been charged was called play on and was also not questioned by the Bulldogs players. Must have been a correct call then ?
Correction D30, MMM started the campaign as soon as they saw Keith out cold for not watching the ball and running head first at the man, Tom Lynch.
Campaigners started campaigning as soon as they realised they could make a name for themselves.
And they brought in a fourth when all of the talk (from the start ) that they were thousands short in the lower leagues.
They could umpire those leagues because the standard of umpiring in the four rounds played hasn’t improved the situation. ( tongue in cheek with a touch of seriousness).
Four umpires. Four different interpretations.
You can’t have one umpire who in the vicinity award a free and an umpire in the grandstand see it differently and award an opposite free to the one nearest to the play. This has been happening for years.
The 6 6 6 rule. No ball up , pay a free to the non offending team.
Players and clubs still get umpired differently.

I know Carn. I know.
Do the coaches have any say or vote???
Astonished if they don’t.
A voice. ?
Opinion just to be heard?
I was thinking by his good mate, Steve. Probably along the lines of ‘Chris, mate. What rule change do you think would really *smile* up Richmond?’
At least we can feel pleased that we were the catalyst to improve the adjudication of such decisions.
I'll see myself out.
But ours was ticked off. If they did nothing wrong, why change anything? HmmmmmmAt least we can feel pleased that we were the catalyst to improve the adjudication of such decisions.
