You're a boundary umpire aren't you?
Yeah. You hear the most outrageous things that close to the fence, but this was a extremely loud expletive ridden personal attack on the field umpire that went beyond the 'well the crowd pays their money' and unfortunately I got sucked in to turning around and giving it back with a few remarks. The field umpire did too but kept it above board. I didn't swear or anything but still need to be better than that and usually am.

I mean I usually give a bit back to the crowd if I overheard stupid shit and did in this game but on one occasion I didn’t dispute their views of the decision, I went below the the line straight away and feel remorseful. No one needs to be abused, that includes spectators.

Probably we're still all a bit pissed that the tribunal completely ignored the evidence of three umpires and let a club dictate a suspension to them to a player that did very little wrong. No excuse but.

I guess this is a good lesson for me about how acting in the moment can make you feel worse in the long run. Something I'll remember.

Why would you lose sleep over spraying a bunch of yokels at a country footy match.. fck 'em.
Because even county yokels don't need some skinny prick with bad hair calling them names over an umpiring decision. You don't know how it makes them feel. Maybe they themselves feel a bit ashamed of their behaviour and I piled it on.

Trying to make the day a more enjoyable time and set an example. Two wrongs ain't made a right.

Carn, what did you say? As the most well rounded, worldly and wisest individual on here, I'll decide if it is appropriate or not and whether you should feel bad (preconceived notion is that you probably shouldnt). Let us have it.

I know right!
Shit story without the juice!
 
Well I guess I could never be an umpire as I couldn’t just take the abuse. I would be giving it back and then some 😔

Umpires work less hours than teachers.



Yeah now you’re thinking about it.

I am strangely heartened that your penchant for contrarianism even extends to yourself :)

I'm trying to imagine what was said that didn't involve expletives and was not racial or sexual (I believe that's the inference), how bad can it be?

“Yeah well your mother wears army boots” is all I can come up with

I am nothing if not an inconsistent whichever way the wind blows hypocrite pretending it's all part of a of nuanced and finely balanced complexity of centrist philosophical alignment.
