Is Hall finished?

[goswannie14]

You are obviously not aware of the "abuse of umpires" rule. There does not need to be a swear word.

A dvd was sent to all clubs about this and Hall knows about it.
No excuse for it.

If that is the case then at least 10 50m penalties should have been paid yesterday. There was a far worseargument from a hawthorn player, can't remember who, just a few minutes before the Hall crucifixion, but it was umpired differently. That's what annoys most Swans supporters, the inconsistency of the umpiring.

It is not Barry Hall's fault that he was born a moron.

The blame for his ongoing poor behaviour on the field and cost to our club lies with one man...

Paul Roos.

Roos' ongoing pandering to, and defence of, the moron, has given it the justification to continue it's dummy spitting and terrible abuse of umpires, which puts it (very) off side with them.

It will mean the 50/50s always go against him and the team, and I cannot blame any umpire that gives Hall (and our team) the rough end of the pineapple.

Bear, what you don't hear living in Sin City is the constant carping by Geishen that umpires don't go out to give any player the rough end of the pineapple.

Yeh, just like they say they don't have their favourites.

Not so much a 'tantrum' but whinging and complaining at every contest that doesn't go his way does not endear him to anyone.

When has his carrying on actually changed a decision on even a successive one? It is probably too late for him to change now, but hopefully he sees out the season with no more dramas.

And what did he think whacking Mitchell in the chin would prove?

That wasn't a whack, FFS. I don't think he whinges much at all anymore. There were 2 or 3 in the third qtr that I thought could have gone his way. He simply put his head down and went back after it. The triple 50 was an umpiring disgrace.

Finished. Should retire.

15 goals and plenty of the ball over the last 4 weeks says otherwise.

If, 48 hours after the event and with all the replays available, people who call themselves Swans fans still think Hall is the one in the wrong and calling for his head, then you really should think about trying another team on for size cause your way, way off target.

Well said.

Hear, hear.

Hats off.

i know its only a small thread in the great tapestry of life but it cheered me up

[connolly]

The umpires provoked the response because they go into every Hall contest with prejudice. I have no doubt the umpire then relished the opportunity to pay a 50m against Hall and the subsequent 2.

We don't know what all said to the umpire but it didn't look that bad, and then Roughead took a dive for the 2nd 50. The 150m penalty was a gross over-reaction from a megalomaniac umpire.

That said, Hall doesn't help himself with the way he conducts himself.

Hammo just a question. Hendrie is vertically challenged. Obviously the small man syndrome and years of niggle and thumps to the deserving scone of the nasty gnome in the ashphalt jungle by big boys played a part in the travesty. Razor Ray is similarly afflicted. Does anyone remember a tall ump? Is there a pattern here? Do the umps need to go to big man management counselling?

Should be compulsory for them to have therapy. There is a clear case of organ envy as well and all the whistle blowing does is highlight their inferiority by demonstrating enthusiastically that it is the whistle that is the only thing that gets blown ! I think we are onto something here! Less whistleblowing and more therapy. Maybe they need to spend the split round in Thailand dealing with these issues.I could put them in touch with some skilled therapists.There would no longer any need to feel inferior to BBB and they would be smiling as much as most Thais do every day for the same reason!

That's bull@@@@ mate. If Hall wasn't in the wrong, then why did he apologize to the coaches and players?

He's very inconsistent now. I think he should retire at the end of the year.

That's really quite a stupid suggestion.

To keep the drama queens out in fan land happy.
