Gippsland Umpies

I can see why the ruckman takes the kick if its a centre circle infringment by the other ruckman or another player. But the ruckman has always taken the free kick even when there was no centre circle and no designated ruckman.

I agree on the interpretation though.

An umpire paid a mark from a long handball in one of our games at the start of the year. genuine confusion all round

Okay time to make some nominations for worst umpiring decision of 2009. We all know the list could be as long as the chinese phone book so try to limit it to the very best.

My nominations

2. Lang Lang v Nilma Darmum - Nilma kick-in. Player kicks it to himself, runs out of square and then kicks long to a contest. Umpire decides this warrants a ball-up at the top of the square. After being told he kicked it to himself the umpire rightly changes his decision but instead of just letting Nilma re-take the kick-in he decides to ball it up where the players second kick landed. wtf?

You neglected to mention that whilst all players were trying to figure out what was going on, he threw it up and it landed into the arms of a Lang Lang player and he casually strolled in and kicked a goal.

Haha same thing happened to us if I remember correctly. Can't remember who it was against, might have been you guys.

Please Re-read the rule. And take note of the word "initial", perhaps even look it up in a dictionary?

This is usually the process:
- The umpire receives the ball from the boundary umpire
- The field umpire then waits for the boundary umpire to position himself on the corner of the square.
- He then makes his Approach to ball up (This must mean what it said to be "locking out"
- During this time, A ruckman cannot enter the centre circle and no other player (regardless if there is 1 or 4) players in the centre square.
- The boundary umpire (or other field umpire) will call the freekick.
- The ruckman for the non-offending team will always take the freekick.

If both teams have breached this rule in the same act of play, no action will be taken.

i believe surkin the gerkin has won this battle, maybe bring it up at umpire training and see what is said as by the sounds of it no one has any idea.

Gurkin has misinterpreted the rule book.

Once an umpire begins his approach to throw/bounce the ball, no player can enter the center square. Just like no ruck man can enter the center circle.

If anyone disagrees with this, I can't honestly be bothered in digging up a massive Fail picture. So to anyone who disagrees with this post, can they please insert their own picture?

did i see on sunday in the seniors an umpire catch the ball at throw it back to the player, whom was looking to go to his team mate after the freekick / mark was awarded?

fail.

 

[Skin27]

Fail alright....he should have been shot onsite. If that was the worst thing he did all day he musn't of have had a bad day.

I do not understand your post?

So what, the umpire caught the ball and gave it to another player during play? Peter Carey style?

That was fairly amusing. Don't understand why he did it, the player was behind his mark so should have been able to handball it. Maybe the ump hadn't blown time on or something?

It was also pretty funny when Hobbo tackled one of his dusties team mates (forget who it was now).

Ruckman will take the freekick because its assumed that he was in the centre circle at the time of the infringement.

Dylza got one for you.If a player is kicking for goal,man on the mark, ump show's him the spot not to go over.As player kick's, he jumps forward ending up over the line, fails to touch the ball, but is over the mark as player has finish kicking

Can't be bothered looking in the rule book, so will have a stab

If a player runs crosses that line (assuming hes touching the ground) before the player has kicked/hand balled the ball (making contact with boot or hand). Then it is a 50m penalty.

If he crosses the line while in mid air, and the player has kicked it while hes in flight, then its not 50M.

I remember one time, David Ivey was lining up for goal, and the man on the mark (unknown) decided to take a sort of "running jump" and as David was just about to kick it, he stopped, and the man on the mark was in full flight of his attempted smother, and crossed the line. 50m penalty was awarded

Thank you .This happen's a bit, but rarely get's called by some ump's

Another worrying trend creeping back in is the man on the mark pretending to throw something at the kicker HOWEVER i notice nowadays that the man on the mark DOES throw grass/mud etc at the kicker. This should be a reportable offence but am yet to see an ump even acknowledge it happening.

Yes can be reportable. Don't be reluctant to contact your local umpiring association (that of course does the league you're reffering too).

Do this via email or letter and a polite manner (So you don't come across as a nutter that hates umpires), and hopefully the umpiring advisor will bring it up at their next meeting and umpires will be educated on the procedures to take if they witness it.

I remember a few years back there was an alarming letter of a player that was playing for Stratford seconds was caught showing his genitals while a player lined up for goal...

 

[Surkin]

The full-forward for my school team used to like giving the opposition full-back the barracuda (also known as the shocker). This usually stopped the fullback annoying him.

For those who are unaware the shocker, also known colloquially as "two in the pink, one in the stink", and the barracuda is a hand gesture with a sexual connotation. The ring finger and thumb are curled or bent down while the other fingers are extended. The index and middle fingers are kept together (touching) and the back of the hand faces outwards (away from the gesturer). The gesture refers to the act of inserting the index and middle fingers into a vagina and the little finger into the unwitting receiver's anus, hence the "shock"

Nooo, I don't think you can get reported for that...
