Umpires we hate and why

[Cyclone Larry]

Hey guys, first time post after being a long time reader. I know most of us hate ALL the umpires but which one (or two) in particular do you hate the most, doesn't have to be a still umpiring now. For me it would have to be a toss up between Carey and Goldspink, we always seem to of had them in crucial matches and they ALWAYS seem to give us the 'fat one'.

I hate them all because they are umpires.

 

[crosby123]

Goldspink. I hate him. A lot.

Goldspink. I hate him. A lot.

Gotta agree

Goldspink - most disliked by a mile - real control freak. He hated us. Didn't like James much till he got into strife for being full - curiously, that made him human. The little fair-haired runt,Chamberlain, is another one with 'little-man syndrome'. Big on the whistle. Loves the chummy first name/nickname terms.

When. I thinm his name might be Stuart When?

Was umpiring a Geelong game here a couple of years ago, giving us a hiding, when a friend yelled out 'When are you going to grow a brain, umpire!?!?'

He turned around, laughed and said he hadn't heard that one before. I think we surprised him.

Hayden Kennedy.
Goldspink is a saint compared to him.

 

[Cats!!]

Mclaren by a mile!
He is fu-king shit, along with the rest of the umpires. Like you dislike one umpire more then anyother there all maggets! Who try to make a name for them selves.

Goldspink is by far the worst, because he tries to be jokey with the players, who and when in the heat of battle aren't going to be too nice back, in which he then holds that against them.

He is a total tool.

Don't like any apart from Matthew James - especially McBurney - but that's more because of his looks.

scott mclaren for being a girl

 

[haywood jablome]

Number 14 at the Melb vs Geelong game.

 

[fishman]

Brett Allen, toerag of the nth degree.

Good old Scotty McLaren is umpiring our game tomorrow.

Good old Scotty McLaren is umpiring our game tomorrow.

Hope he doesn't read Big Footy then

 

[winty]

Good old Scotty McLaren is ruining our game tomorrow.

Edited for accuracy.

Hayden Kennedy is another one. Absolute shocker. I remember a game against St Kilda at the dome in '05 when he refused to pay us anything. There was one occasion when a St.Kilda player was on the bottom of the pack and Kennedy looked like he was about to ping him for holding the ball until he saw it was a Saints player, and then held off for about 5 seconds before calling for a ball up. Then Mooney ran past a guy off the ball and Kennedy paid a free kick because he THOUGHT Mooney was going to do something. Total tool.

McBurney - stupid queer. Enjoys coming from 50m off the ball to pay a freekick that isn't even in his zone.
