Same for me as well. Although I suspect Pegs might give it a shake.
Farewelling the great German Shields at the Frearson tomorrow. A sensational Ashes man.
Supposed to be at the ground a minimum of 45 minutes before the start of the game I think. So the ump in question better have a very good explanation.Bedford, did you say one of the two umpires actually turned up 10 min before the start of the seniors at BJR? What time do umpires normally turn up for their appointed game in the seniors (regardless of section)?
And it may cost him in the long run, when the umpires selectors sit down to name their appointments for the finals and especially the grand finals. Getting your decisions right and being on time for your appointed game are two of the things the umpires selectors take into account when selecting umpires to officiate at each week's games.Supposed to be at the ground a minimum of 45 minutes before the start of the game I think.

Fair dinkum criticising the umpires again..Did you ask the umpire why he was late? my very reliable mail suggests despite what he was told to tell the team managers that he was appointed very late to the game as there had been a late switch due to another game having an umpire pull out Saturday. You get 2 umpires that do the best they can ( 1 that may not have known he was umpiring there until 45 mins before the game, driving like a lunatic to get to the game, find a park run into the change rooms and then focus ) and they try and officiate blokes that drop chest marks, miss goals from less than 30 meters out, yell at spectators - and put up with team managers - officials abusing them showing the players that it is ok to yell at the umps...
Bedford as you rightly point out you lost to a better team, just leave it at that until your blokes stop making elementary mistakes and really costing the 4 points... Yes the umps get paid to do a job but this game isn't as straight forward as some sports in that this sport is very grey and is full of interpretation - who knows what the ump coaches are trying to instruct the umps to do. blaming umps is pathetic.
Maybe the umpiring hierarchy should make it abundantly clear to the clubs how they are interpreting the Laws of the Game.Fair dinkum criticising the umpires again..Did you ask the umpire why he was late? my very reliable mail suggests despite what he was told to tell the team managers that he was appointed very late to the game as there had been a late switch due to another game having an umpire pull out Saturday.
