Rumour Fans rejoice

[Bunk Moreland]

Umpires Troy Pannell and Justin Schmidt will retire at year’s end.

The latter in particular has definitely made the right choice.

 

[BG32]

[gavaniacono]

Hemmies on ya butt.
Warts on ya nose.
Pubes in ya pumpkin soup.
Good riddance.

You mean the former?

Schmidt seems alright but Pannell is appalling.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

You mean the former?

Schmidt seems alright but Pannell is appalling.

At least this year, Schmidt is the worst umpire there - by some distance

Schmidt seems alright but Pannell is appalling.

have to agree with that, parnnell is a blight on the game with three others

 

[Troystenvic]

Hawks are stuffed

 

[Aussie_boy]

Great news. Troy Pannell is one of many blights on the league.

Margetts needs to be arrested

 

[jezzajay]

Not sorry to see Pannell go...

 

[Bored_Pie]

Both on the edge of corruptness at times.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Let's hope the AFL don't decide to form a Match Review Pannell.














I'm so sorry.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Meh, once Goldspink gave it away umpiring has become only as inconsistent and inexplicible as can be expected in game with so many (constantly changing) rules that are ill-defined and hence open to interpretation.

 

[RAPPA]

Margetts and razor can follow.

Unfortunately, as long as there are cameras and microphones, Razpr will not leave the limelight, the flog

 

[3rd Grade Maggy]

Will Pannell end up at Brisbane or West Coast mentoring young players, like the other recently retired Hawks greats?

 

[Chronz]

him too pls

Look at his rat mug. Just looking at the campaigner makes me want to punch a hole in the wall.

Razor is our boy you mess with him you mess with all of us

 

[Freomaniac]

I am glad Troy Pannell is gone. Will never forget that crows vs dgs game in 2016 where he gave away 18 free kicks in that game. 17 to the dogs and 1 to the crows.

I watch a lot of football, but don't understand how you guys can identify these guys. They all look the same.

Razor is about it for me. And Glouftsis (?) of course.

Umpiring is rarely a big issue for me regardless of who I watch. It's like traffic, you can't fight it.

That being said, is there a consensus pick for the best umpire?

 

[Darkyprotector]

He's that bad

Must be a rlation of the schwabs

 

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

This might be the 1st thread in the history of big footy that we can all agree on.
