Didn't say anything about the umpires as he doesn't want to donate to the End of Season fund.

The standard of umpiring is at its lowest ebb for many years. They have an aging and slowing group (McLaren is 41, Stinker 42 FFS). We knew McLaren was going to put in a shocker because that is the standard that the guy performs at week in week out. The AFL response is simply to try to "manage" the resulting outrage. The clubs comments on the abysmal sub-standard garbage that is dished up week after week is the most heavily sanctioned speech regime of any area of public life in Australia. The rugby tackle on Goodsey was a gutless "home town" decision by a match official who was derelict in his duty and obligations. Is there any other area of public life in this country where a governing organisation can supress even discussion? Umpiring = management without accountability = crap standard.Bevo bandwagon driverComment

McInerny was on the 7.30 report on Thursday night going into bat for umpires - if his media persona is anything to go by he's as soft as some of his free kicks. He'd get the gold medal in a bitch slapping competition.Last edited by Wardy; 3 September 2005, 01:15 PM.I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

He should never get a game again. None of them should.Originally posted by Snowy
It has been conceded by the umpiring fraternity that they got it wrong on the Leo Barry front. There is some suggestion the umpire involved will not get a game this week.Visit my eBay store -
