I can assure you this is a true story ....... I did leave out the fact that said "tough Guy" "Shaped up" to the young umpire before threatening him. He then received a red card from the other umpire. I agree though the club should have been fined but I think even 10 weeks is lenient for this...

I hear some disturbing news from up Cairns way. My man in the North tells me a story about a reserve grade player who recently threatened a 16 year old Umpire that he "would see him in the car park" after being yellow carded. The most disturbing aspect of this is that this tough guy only...

I agree the proposed div 4 & 5 with 6 or so teams seems very short sighted. I would say however that I assume that just like the QAFA B Northern Rivers and Sun Coast did this year that there would be a couple of "cross Conference" games This year the Sun coast clubs played against the Wide bay...

I find it laughable (if it wasn't so serious) that a certain club who lost their game on the weekend would lodge an official complaint against a 500+ game umpire with AFLQ resulting in an official investigation for Alleged bias against them. This was due to alleged comments made on Sunday while...

It was good to be able to banter to the players for a change but I was on your side mighty I got your number for next time Thommo

Well sixth sense I was going to reply to Jack but since you asked so nicely the Free was paid for umpire abuse ............ I didn't even hear what the crowd was saying at the club house end and by the time this free kick was paid I was pretty spent so I was having trouble seeing crowd let alone...

Well Jack I don't quite understand why you would post this .......... either you can't read or you're stupid ..... or both I replied to your original post and stated I did NOT pay the free kick against the supporters in the crowd ..... don't know why you bring Beenleigh and Logan into either...

Yes I did hear you Blocker but only when something went against your boys so maybe there was inconsistent sledging whinging and whining from you as well:rolleyes: I reckon it was known early on when I reversed a free kick (to the pirates....... ) in the 1st Quarter for abuse that it not on...

Well "Oldmate" you seems to be a little confused as I was the umpire involved and I can say absolutely that the free kick I paid was not against anyone in the crowd and that I definitely paid it against a pirates player. From what I'm told the pirates supporters were interesting in their...

So what you must be saying is .... it doesn't matter what level you play you can still end up with a sh!+ umpire like Moro :) Most umpires will float across all the different division and that can be seen by the fact I have been able to ruin games this year at QAFL Reserves, QFA Nth & Sth...

Yeah going around again Blocker (I hear groans of OH NO coming from many areas of SEQ)

Well Oldmate if this has happened to you in recent years you have been hard done by. I can't talk about juniors but I can say at Senior level in SEQ 2 yellows does not automatically mean Red. This rule (2 Yellows = Red) was in many years ago but we have not had it in for ages. My thinking is...

Sorry but 2 x yellows do not automatically mean a Red Card. Technically you can get 5 yellow cards and still not get a Red. They might have been new umpires but I can assure you that the 2 x yellow = red is not applicable

Hey nut .... I hope they do about the feedback forms. I know Burleigh do as they sent one thru on myself and the other umpire when i had them at the beginning of the year. And it should be noted that the feedback forms can be used for negative and positive feedback. I assume you will be in...

Well the Lime team have caused quite a storm this week. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion about umpiring however I think it's a bit harsh saying an umpire has a sad life or is a knob of a bloke if you don't know the person except for out on the field. I am not here saying your comments...

Hey Nut & Blocker ....... can understand where you and the "big" blocker are coming from but sometimes we need to be "precious" as the lower level games are usually where new umpires are appointed and can cop some serious abuse and then in turn walk away from umpiring. In my opinion if you let...

Way too much luv for my liking ...... but as you said I have never claimed to be perfect (actually far from it) just try to do the best I can so you boys get a fair and decent game, so thanks for the positive comments from you boys. It is very unfortunate about what happened on the week end and...

Geez you go away to Sydney for one week end and all Hell breaks loose. They were obviously much worse than me Morro???? I really didn't think that was possible!!!!!

Hey Macman .... turning to the dark side ....... We are always looking for more on the dark side especially former players Give Cameron Williamson or Alex Whetton a call at AFLQ they're the two main men when it comes to the dark side

Hello Blocker ....... Usually a red card = a report. The umpires should "Red Card" anyone that is reported. The player may have been yellow carded first and then reported but either way if a player is reported he should be automatically Red Carded. With out being there or talking to the umpires...

Well said Redback. I try to call players by their first names (or nick name) if I know what it is. I think it is common decency to address someone by their name if you know it. Having umpired for many years in these competitions you get to know players and I think it is good to say "you're on...

Hello King ..... you are right and wrong (if that makes any sense) there is nothing specific about a sling tackle but it would fall under the following Spirit and Intention of Awarding Free Kicks 15.1.1 (c) protect Players from sustaining injury; 15.4.5 (l) engaging in rough conduct against...

I would suggest any free kick paid against spectators is the wrong thing to do. In saying this I have heard of it being done but this would not a good thing to do. Could you imagine paying a free kick against the crowd at the G with 75 000 spectators

Hey KP - Although there is nothing specific in the law book about what is to occur in this situation I believe it is similar to the law regarding unauthorised entry to playing surface which is below 10.6 UNAUTHORISED ENTRY ON PLAYING SURFACE AND TERMINATION OF A MATCH 10.6.1 Entry on Playing...

Your help on field is very much appreciated Morro You do see a lot of things I don't from time to time:D and as for you crossing to the dark side after you retire (How many retirements so far 8 or 9????????????????) god help us if there are ever 2 Morris's umpiring

Yes mighty I am feeling the love for now ....... might be different once I umpire some of them ;)....and yes unheard of. And on the 2nd point No I don't have permission from Cansdale Street hence I have to be very careful what I say and my signature at the bottom of my posts says it all. As an...

Hey Macman ..... steady up with the disgraceful talk ..... that sort of statement is normally directed towards me!!!!!!!! Especially from the verandah at Wynnum:) In all seriousness what you and KP have stated is a bit of a worry. Your question about the free kick for the send off is not quiet...

Yes Fal that was a pretty decent "falcon for the falcon". I have seen a few decent falcons this year but not too sure I've seen one become a "Goal Assist" stat. I hope one of the 2 games you talk about wasn't the Kings game:)

Hi Nut I understand people get frustrated with the umpiring from time to time but as I've said before we are out there doing our best and we will make decisions which may be regarded as soft or that are in fact wrong. I would make no apologies if we get a soft one every now and again especially...

My old mate BOC - I would have to answer .......... No we are not. I think it's unfair that AFLQ charge you for reserves umpires if you are supplying club umpires but that is only my opinion and i am not even sure if this is the case. Also my understanding is AFLQ only charge the clubs part of...
