*&% Umps

For the first time this year I am really ****ed at the umps, Its half time and I have seen so much Shi.t already.

Very inconsistent; especially the "deliberate" out of bounds and a few ticky touchwood "in the backs".

Didnt matter in the washup because we got up but Id be dragging one Crow player aside and giving it to him with both barrels about his undisciplined play.

No prizes for guessing who....Burton

Umpires really gave me the sh*ts tonight especially in the 2nd quarter. Bassett got pinned for deliberate out of bounds and a few moments later Baird did exactly the same thing and it was a throw in. And thats just one of many shocking decisions they made tonight.

As for Burton, he is the most nerve wracking player to watch at times thats for sure. When he is on he is good, when he is not he is a shocker.

The umps were an absolute disgrace. I thought we got a fairly harsh deal tonight, being on the losing end of their inconsistencies.

Burton's decision making process is unbelievable!!! What goes on inside that head of his?? I would play him forward pocket closer to goal so that his only decision has to be to get the ball to kick goals.

But you're right - he was very undisciplined,

Yeah, the umpires were giving me the ****s last night with their inconsistencies.

With the Birdman, I stick to what I said last week that he shouldn't think too much about his disposal as he is sure to stuff up with his dumb decision making ability. He is more of an instinct player & should do what 1st comes to mind. Also, prefer him playing mainly as a floating forward who kicks goals. This would leave Ladhams, Bode, etc who are smarter footballers further up the ground where decision making ability / avoiding turnovers is more important.

I was so annoyed at them last night. I mean where's the consistancy? how many 50s did they get? and that deliberate out-of-bounds, yeah ok Basset's was one, but there was also about 2 Kangaroos ones!

The umpiring was truly biased. Incompetence I can understand, that goes for and against both sides. Last night it was one way traffic.
