Probably really insightful things like what suburb or school the umpires went to…..

Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!
- Thread starter iLoVeNeWmAn
- Start date
Suggest you watch the 2.41mins to go in last nights game and tell me why the below the knees wasn’t paid
Thought it was a trip myself. Regardless another basic free kick missed at a crucial stage of the game.
So in other words, no you don't have any evidence whatsoever.
One bad decision doesn't say any more about the standard of umpiring than one good one does.
The point was asserted that the standard of umpiring is abysmal. So far all that is based on is I watched a game and saw a bad decision.
Just watched the replay of the Melbourne Carlton game. I don't think he touched it, but the soft call was a goal so I suppose its justifiable and they followed due process, which is what you'd expect a professional top level organisation to do, hang on, they DIDN'T DO THAT WITH US IN THEBLOODY EF LAST SEASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What made me laugh is that with the Cameron mark the AFL stated the boundary umpire was in the best position to make the call. Interesting when you compare this comment to the Lynch non goal against Brisbane. Surely the goal umpire was in the best position to make the call.
I think most would agree a lot of the calls the umps make can be called "right", but a big issue is the greyness, and the 2 very similar actions can be called 2 different ways.
I remember you arguing earlier in the year that the dissent that cost Carlton a game was clearly dissent, but then when Cameron was given the mark, the 2 Pies were waving their arms around for hours. Dissent is now never paid. Until it is.
You claim the "deliberate" rule is clear, and that players know what they are doing, then you watch 2 layers kick it out in the same manner and 1 is called.
Sometimes players are called back to the 9mt line when a defender takes a mark, sometimes it is 50 straight away.
Sometimes players are called play on for moving slightly off their line, other times they go metres before any call is made.
Players are held consistently without the ball, sometimes, but rarely it is paid.
PLayers duck into tackles all the time. Sometimes it is too high, sometimes it is holding the ball, sometimes it is a ball up.
A reasonable question is whether the 4th umpire contributes to these inconsistencies, and whether that contribution outweighs the benefit of the extra set of eyes.
Ill stand up for Big Rich on the deliberate rule
After many arguments I have to admit when I watch the rule as he describes it I can count on one hand the number that dont match up
As usual, the worlds most famous umpire masseuse, total body rub, comes in with his trolling put downs.
You've managed to introduce a couple of new insults - fat and tiny little minds.
Unsure why a self-declared wealthy, connected and highly intelligent individual continues to waste his time dealing with the plebs of PRE?
Yeah, most that are paid can be justified. But plenty aren't paid.
They let guys walk over the line unpunished, but at least that is consistent. Likewise forwards generally don't get called for doing exactly as mid or defenders do, but again that is consistent.
But rushed kicks and skill errors Sometimes get called and sometimes don't.
I wouldnt say plenty I find I can call it before the whistle goes 8 or 9 times out of 10 so you cant ask much more than that
Trick is just look if there is a team mate close enough to where the ball goes out thats pretty much all they go on
Seems you like the sound of your own voice and I for one find it something of an annoying drone like background noise.
Pull you head out of your ars###% and listen, watch and read what people - lots of people, are saying about the standard of AFL umpiring. Across the country and from all supporter groups, including former players and coaches.
Oh and your number of k’s supposedly run by AFL umpires, must be heavily reduced by the introduction of a 4th umpire this year!
I’ve also heard around the traps that next year the AFL will make it compulsory for all umpires to carry a white cane and wear Roy Orbison type dark shades to provide the perfect excuse for all their on field mistakes and blunders

If your hearing voices that might be on you chief last time I checked theres no sound here
We had 2 incidents where our player had he’s head over the ball got head contact , we got pinned, but that stuff happens.
Geez I dislike the rules and umpiring nowadays.
Thats just pathetic, maybe we need 15 umpires to spot those types of frees

The umpires helping us no end , being able to continue this thread with plenty of evidence. Thx for the favour
We were terrible but these guys weren’t far behind. 7-20 midway through the third. Think it end up 12-23. Half a dozen frees just completely missed for us and everything paid to the saints.
