I am looking to see who has taken the time to umpire a match at any level, be it from the Seniors down to the Under 10's or even schoolboys.
i umpired a school footy game to get out of class and paid 1 free kick the whole game as i always say that if u dont notice who is umpiring the game they must be doing a good job as i deff feel nobody knew i was even out there that day

For those that are wondering, I umpired Under 13's for the last 2 Saturday's which meant a 6:45 AM wake up for an 8:45 AM bounce. Squeezing into a medium GREEN umpires shirt though is tough.

I also think that you do have some understanding of what an umpire goes through by doing it yourself. But then again, we all think we can do a better job.

plenty

seniors
u18's
juniors
old blokes in the super rules
rep games

the best blokes to umpire are the older senior blokes or the super rules games, as they have the best understanding...not surprisingly u16 and u18 would be the worst, as the kids think they know everything and can be little ****s

Yes their little turds but just tell them who's boss and if they keep abusing you, show them the yellow card. They usually shut up after that.

It's arrogant/fat/hungover 30 something year olds that give me the irrits.

Umpired Juniors at all ages (to U17's) for three seasons and was invited down to the WAFL panel, but gave it up when I joined the workforce.

I umpired U/10 and 12's a few years ago. Kids were OK, parents were absolute shockers no kidding.
I was playing senior footy on the peninsula at the time and couldn't believe what they were yelling out to the opposition and even me who unknown to them was encouraging all the kids and giving a few cheap kicks to kids who couldn't get near it.
