Fan threatened with eviction from MCG for barracking too loud

[Ron The Bear]

The umpiring was terrible in that game, elani should never umpire an AFL game again.

On an unrelated note - why does she get so many Carlton games? Does the AFL think any mistakes are unlikely to influence the result?

Apparently it was the follicly challenged campaigner in the far left of pic(bottom right), who got kicked out. Calling Nicholls a 'bald headed flog' seems like a gesture of solidarity to me.

It just gets funnier. This from a bald man.
The afl should really start it's own political party.

only a matter of time before we have Umpire Awareness round. The umpire judged best afield by the a group of media at each game will win a medal, and players from both teams will form a guard of honour as the umps leave the ground.

Good to see Mark LoGiudice next to him

There had to more to it. Surely nobody gets ejected for the comments in the OP?

At the moment that seems to be it.

Its in the AFL members so Im sure we will hear more.

That's surely what it was - coded communication between two brothers, sadly misunderstood by over-zealous security.

Embarrassing by the AFL if it is the case

Indeed. Ive heard a lot lot worse directed at the umps.

 

[SportsCentre]

I was there, the comment was lost in translation

 

[RAPPA]

So speak the truth and get booted seems to be the message from the AFL

 

[Topkent]

Whilst I think it’d be a pretty pathetic thing to get banned over, some of the **** the bogans spew at the footy is appalling. Go scream at a TV at home if you want to carry on like a pork chop. You’d get kicked out of a pub for screaming at the staff like an immature flog, why not the footy?

So you would be happy with a ban from big footy seeing as you just used the same insults.

“Umpires Matthew Nicholls was visibly shaken.”

Lol, you’ve got to be ******* kidding me right?

With any luck he'll be so devastated he'll never be able to umpire again. And he'll take Margetts & Chamberlain with him.

 

[Chaisa]

Does seem a terrible move, but I feel like there's more to the story. If not....wtf.

Joke that we can abuse the players and not the umpires.

Give it time, you won't be able to criticise the players soon. It will be deemed bullying in the workplace.

 

[Ron The Bear]

Spare a thought for the Carlton supporter. On the same day he is ejected from the ground for an innocuous remark, Carlton actually wins.

That’s like the reverse of winning Tattslotto.

Welcome to the AFL

Where you can't tackle in the little league
Where there is no "winner" in some little league competitions
Where you are frowned upon for booing flog players
And don't you dare ever insult an umpires intelligence, that's a nelly no no

 

[bzparkes]

So you would be happy with a ban from big footy seeing as you just used the same insults.

Why? I didn't direct abuse at anyone.

Don't try to act smart with me please.

She has had a mare in at least 2 games for us this year, just a basic lack of understanding of what actually qualifies as a free kick.

There was a push & shove at half forward in the last, she looked a little panicked and threw the ball up. It worked, but she didn’t have control.

Can’t comment on that because I haven’t seen those games, but I’m sure she wouldn’t be alone. Umpiring has generally been atrocious. So what now, the AFL are introducing 4 field umps as a trial ? Is that correct? So that’s potentially 4 different rule interpretations going on in one game? What a mess!!
