Umpires Boo
Rules OK - Umpires Not
Why is it that AFL umpires are uniformly runty? Most of these yellow/green/orange annelids are too frail to have ever played football; does the AFL think it is an advantage not to have played the game? Surely these little blokes would have been better advised to seek employment at Flemington or Randwick.
Laying down the law.
Umpires should be instructed to NEVER kick the ball under any circumstance. One umpire
took a kick at Subi recently and the crowd laughed even though it was no laughing matter.
It was quite apparent that this bloke had never actually played the game other than with his
sister in the backyard.
I'm sick of umpires who think the crowd came to watch them umpire.
I'm sick of umpires being so full of themselves that the goal-umpire has to run onto the ground
to get the "all clear".
I'm sick of umpires allowing forward tackles and consequently putting the players' knees at risk.
I'm sick of umpires not rewarding a tackler who turns the ball carrier in the tackle.
I'm sick of umpires who bounce one time and throw up the next - no wonder the ruckmen arm lock.
I'm sick of umpires yelling "don't hold" - they should just call the frees as they come.
I'm sick of umpires yelling "Let him up" or worse "Let him up, Michael". See above.
I'm sick of umpires calling "deliberately out" when the player is being harrassed as he disposes.
I'm sick of umpires who can't distinguish between a push and a dive.
I'm sick of umpires rewarding head duckers.
