State of Umpiring [merged]

[WilliamPowell]

Yeah, the ball was over by 4/12ths of a foot in slow-mo at the right angle.

Seriously, eff off and get a job directing traffic.

stuffing terrible decision.

Un-Australian -- right up until Australia became the "keep off the grass" capital of the universe.

Is that abusive tirade directed at me?

Nope.

At the puritan umpires. Rubbish 50.

Which I think is actually 1/3?

That's correct. They are identical measurements.

I think that decision indicates that umpires are looking to award free kicks rather than letting the game go on and be played in the spirit it is intended for.

Exactly.

There are three teams out there these days. When the adjudication of the game becomes as big a talking point as the game itself, we all know there is a problem. It's happening every week now. Every game?

Fair enough

[TigerLand]

Thought the umps were ordinary. Prestia holding the ball was  red hot umpiring and then we had about 3 tackles exactly the same if not more obvious that weren't paid holding the ball.

Darling free kick in front of goal was ridiculous. Deliberate out of bounds wasn't consistent.

Not world ending but they weren't as good as first few weeks.

Clear 50 to us not paid.

------------------------

Tiger fans and ⁦@hasumpstuffedup⁩ can anyone explain how this isn’t an automatic 50m?

My feeling is that if it were a Tiger walking 2m over the mark and scraping the turf it would have been.

This also should have been 50 to us.

Second one was worse I was livid

[Fluffy Tiger]

The standard umpiring is just horrible. I don't know how these players keep their heads (both sides). Example was the mark that was taken past the point post for the cats and they made the man on the mark stand half way to the goal. How hard is it to place the mark in the right place. Just an example of so many errors.

Too many stupid needless rules taking the umps' focus away from correctly umpiring the basic ones.
