"You're outta your league. You're batting so far outta your league"

"You're outta your league. You're batting so far outta your league" - Umpire Stuart Wenn to Connors.

Pope mentioned this in the game thread at the time. They just replayed it on the Fifth Quarter. If an umpire wants respect as they do deserve then they should remember it's a two way street. An Ump is there to umpire the game; not to trash talk a footballer!   If it was the other way around and Connors was one who had told Wren he was "outta his league" he'd cop a please explain and quite possibly weeks for it from the AFL.

the club needs to lodge an official complaint. the umpire needs to be dropped for the rest of the season.

Disgraceful what he said and Gieschen should be asked why the umps aren't treating all players equally.
Where do they get off?

[cub]

Yeah! We know where some of the bullied kids at school ended up. Wankers

[Tigermonk]

Umpire is telliing Conners something  his a selfish one man team above himself 

Umpire, back to Metro footy

Confirmation that the umpires egotestical nature is out of hand.

They need to concentrate on officiating the game instead of priming their egos. Maybe they could start of incorrect disposal of the ball when tackled.

[eliminator]

Agree with Ramps

Yeah agree.  Even the commentators said the ump crossed the line.

I understand the competition is trying to look after the umpires to promote the profession etc. but common sense would be to come out apologies and give the squib a whack across the back of the head and suspend him for a minimum of 1 match. Not doing anything just fuels the external hatred fire for AFL officials.

The idea of microphones give them the power to have any conversation broadcast, don't give me excuses of what is said on the field stays on the field. No umpire should speak to players unless it's about an umpiring decision. He knows to well everything is said by him and around him can be captured, it was pathetic.

"You're so far outta your league"? How about not get in the face of an AFL footballer, in a dark alley I'd be interested to see how close to Connors league the umpire is.

It was bizaare

Think it was either the start of the 3rd or last qtr.

Before the bounch Connors was pushing with his forearm his opponent over into the centre square.

The umpire came right up into Connors face and put his own forearm in Connors face and gave him a spray. The Mics turned on and all you can here was "You're outta your league here mate, you're so far outta your league.."

If Richmond do not lodge an official complaint over this matter then Gales needs his arse kicked. What that umpire did was so wrong on so many levels, I fairdinkum thought the ump was going to physically handle Conners. Very poor protocol from the ump.

[2JD]

very bizarre! Is there any footage?

This guy just invented an awesome way on how to make yourself look like a first class, self pleasuring, biased imbecile.  How can you ever trust his objectivity when he actively attempted to psych out one of the Tigers players?  This bloke needs to be sacked full stop, he has no place in the game.  Sounds like a St.Kilda sychophant, or maybe he just likes to toady up to players from top 8 clubs.
