Just another case of fans thinking the umpires can't do anything right. It's not really that big a deal, is it?

Yes yes yes yes yes.

Another questionable one this time in favour of the Roos. But you can't blame the goal umpires, it's bloody tough making a decision on the spot in full speed... but the technology is there to assist (I don't care what the AFL says, it is) so it's about time we helped out the umpires on the field.

Has Neil Craig been sleeping with the goal umpires or something? Baffling decisions.

Has to be brought in. People make mistakes, video gives you a second chance. Also a goal umpire's future should not be decided on one bad decision if it can be avoided... and it can.

That's original. It's almost as if someone hadn't already used that "joke" earlier in the thread.

Do they actually want mics though or has it been forced upon them? I've heard an umpire (don't ask me who) say he doesn't like them.

Why is this not in the perfectly good umpires forum? :confused:

Yeah I find that rather strange too. Although I guess it's common knowledge the padding is part of the post. Learn something new every day.

"Gieschen said no angle could conclusively reveal the ump got it wrong." But obviously if an angle could reveal that he got it right they'd be all over it. So by looking at replays they couldn't reveal what the correct decision would have been? Well, let's get back to the arguing ;)...

Come now. Don't let the truth get in the way of a good yarn ;) The umpire made a mistake giving the ball to Minson. However I don't see the issue, for all anyone knows Wight or Welsh would have kicked it too.

Jesus christ, perfect examples of people nitpicking to keep it in their minds that umpires can never do anything right. What's the bloody problem with the comments they make? If I were an AFL player I wouldn't have an issue with it at all. I like the umpires being micced up, I find it...

Donlon must be an Essendon supporter.
