Umpiring Eleni Glouftsis should not be umpiring AFL

[Zevon]

A reminder from your friendly neighbourhood moderator that replies to this thread are now on a very tight leash and should be kept to discussion about Eleni’s umpiring abilities only.

Several posts stating or suggesting that Eleni Glouftsis shouldn’t be umpiring solely because she is female have already been removed. Any further posts saying crap like “women are far too emotional to be umpires”, “she’s only umpiring because wokeness is taking over the AFL” etc etc will be removed and infractions given.

You can call us woke, white knights, politically correct or virtue signallers all you want, but the simple fact is that we don’t stand for misogyny here. If that’s not cool with you then you know where the door is.

Thanks, Zev

He was stood down as an escaped goat to take the heat off the AFL’s incompetence in not having suitable technology

Regardless of the technology, he should've called for review.

If he called for a review, his decision gets overturned and we all move on.

Nah, I'm sorry. She's completely incompetent.

As bad an umpire as underwood is a commentator . Not because they are female because they are completely inept

 

[Demon in Hell]

Thought she did a good job today, but please feel free to post some video evidence of the mistakes she made during todays game.

Apples and bowling balls. (And yes Underwood is kinda shyte as a commentator but shes still better than BT and Daisy is an excellent commentator so it must even out by your odd standards I guess)

Why are you comparing them then?

 

[JUSTWORK]

Terrible umpire.

Underwood is a shitload better than draino Russell, who actually commentated the game and would be a better comparison

so where are the personalised threads on all the other umpires? hmmmmmm? so bloody predictable and shallow. Grow up.

Her bad decisions stand out more because she stands out more. Other umpires who make poor decisions just blend into the sea of vanilla umpires.

It’s such a bigfooty thing to allow a standalone thread on the only female field umpire in the game.

Eleni is just as inconsistent as others but her sex makes her more noticeable.

Won't be an issue for you all next season.

Expecting her first baby.

She's off-limits to criticism because she's female? I don't care if she's a man, woman, trans, or hermaphrodite. This is about the quality of her umpiring. Pretty sure Razor Ray has had his fair share of threads made about him over the years too.

Interesting she hasn't been selected for any finals. Maybe the AFL didn't want to put her in the spotlight and highlight her ineptitude on the big stage?
