They were okay last night. Can’t blame them for it. Missed a couple and there were a few inconsistencies, but we earned most of what we got.
Good mate of mine umpires in the VAFA. He says without fail each week he has to call in the captains of each team to tell them get their teams to calm down and play footy and stop whinging like little kids. Usually it works.At the local footy today and 15 minutes into the first quarter, I hear the ump say “if you blokes dont stop *smile* sooking , your not going to have a *smile* umpire”
Yeah free kick count 11-3 at half time when he had a go at them. Didn’t see the game so can’t comment specifically however I’ve got no doubt he mention throwing as part of his tirade!All I can say is well done Jason McCartney. Will probably get hanged by the 4th Reich.
Yep. Especially us as we're the spooners every year on this Free kick diff table. 'Please explain' just shows how bureaucratic these a-holes in the league are. What other f*cking reason do they think he has to explain!!!Geez, imagine what Mcartney would’ve done by now if he’d have worked at Richmond!
GREATER Western Sydney football boss Jason McCartney is under investigation by the AFL after unleashing a 'tirade' at the umpires at half-time of Friday night's clash against the Western Bulldogs.
Witnesses to the incident have said that McCartney burst into the umpires' rooms at the break to approach them about what he perceived as incorrect decisions for the Giants during the first half of the club's 39-point loss at Manuka Oval.
The 47-year-old is expected to be issued with a 'please explain' from the AFL within the next 24 hours.
The Bulldogs led the free kick count 11-3 at half-time.
The please explain should be directed to the umpires.Yep. Especially us as we're the spooners every year on this Free kick diff table. 'Please explain' just shows how bureaucratic these a-holes in the league are. What other f*cking reason do they think he has to explain!!!
Worst things is when they do the in depth review of all the umpiring decisions made. They'll be 100% correct decisions. What the *smile* don't do is review all the similar incidents during a game n judge maggots on all the decisions they failed to make.Yep. Especially us as we're the spooners every year on this Free kick diff table. 'Please explain' just shows how bureaucratic these a-holes in the league are. What other f*cking reason do they think he has to explain!!!
Good on him.Geez, imagine what Mcartney would’ve done by now if he’d have worked at Richmond!

The other 16 clubs should take it in turns to repeat the action weekly until the message is finally received and a proper consultation can take place and maybe iron out some of the many issues. Removing Steve Hocking would be a good start. His actions are causing issues for players and umpires.Good on him.
16 other clubs will help chip in for the fine.

Geezuz. Who can blame him ! Worst officiated league in Australia.Geez, imagine what Mcartney would’ve done by now if he’d have worked at Richmond!

Given he is part of GWS(team afl) can expect the free kick count to turn back in their favour in coming weeks.. Blah!Geez, imagine what Mcartney would’ve done by now if he’d have worked at Richmond!

They were getting slapped in the first half.Good on ya McCartney. Somebody has to bring attention to the horrendous state of umpiring.
AFL media have been muzzled, so change has to be generated from within the clubs.
Just have to look for Gil's nose.Hocking couldn't find his arse in the shower with both hands.
Not all of them.Good on him.

Doesn't matter what teams are playing, there's three maggots adjudicating games n there's no consistency of decision making or penalising the same infringement in the same manner.
Doesn't matter if one team plays a bit hard n pushes the boundaries of infringement at times, if the infringement is there pay the decision regardless of who the player is. Reckon there'd easily be between 70 to 100 free kicks payed per game if the *smile* maggots actually adjudicated to the rules properly.
But the AFL don't want games over umpired so the maggots pick n choose what infringement they can get away with missing and then suddenly get all precious n controlling n nit pick insignificant technicalities just because it was obviously an infringement.
