Disgraceful mistake by an umpire that appeared to have a serious attitudinal issue early on in the game.  Won't get past the video review, probably won't even make it that far.  Commentators laughed at it.

If it was the 1 I'm thinking of, put his hand up to protect himself and the dawker headbutted it.

this thread should be deleted. Disgraceful report.

If simmo gets done for that ill begin a petition to sign TW up for 5 years.

Hawthorn player was lying over the Richmond player trying to get up from a pack.  Simmonds went in and pushed him backwards (from front on) in the upper chest/shoulder region which he is quite entitled to do in order to keep play moving our way.  The Hawthorn player looked as surprised as anyone and the umpire just made himself look like an absolute fool.

Spot on Bill. Nichols deserves 10 weeks for this report.
Bugger it, give him life.
Surely the AFL is embarrassed by this sort of MAGGOT bringing the game into DISREPUTE.

Absolute crap, if Simmo even turns up I will be surprised. It will be thrown out before the tribuneral even meet. Stupid idiot umpire or as my young son used to call them...... vampires. :lol

Title: Simmo report thrown out
Post by: one-eyed on August 18, 2008, 05:14:07 PM
It's been thrown out.

The match day report against Richmond's Troy Simmonds for engaging in rough conduct against Hawthorn's Tom Murphy was assessed. It was the view of the panel that Simmonds' action was neither a bump and nor was the contact forceful. No further action was required.

Geischen the turd should bench idiot,egotistical umpires at quarters end,possibly for the rest of the game.
 
Why don't they introduce a system such as this?

Cause then they will have to pay the interchange maggots match payments when they do eventually come onto the ground for a period of time whilst the  umpire who started the game on the ground officiating goes to the bench to get a flogging from the umpiring coach for being an idiot.

Joke of a report and rightly didn't see the light of day.

It's all the rules committee and Geischen's fault. How the game is umpired is farcical at times. Richo got robbed of a win last year due to that stupid strict hands in the back "interpretation" and now it doesn't get paid at all. Well is it a rule or not for heaven's sake?!  ::)

im sorry if my swearing offends anyone but eff the umpires and that di.khead geesh.
no hands in the back?? im okay with that but FFS dont pick and choose when to pay it and when not to.

do they have a meeting mid season and say lets forget about this rule do they??

Depends solely on 2 things. Firstly whether the umps feel like guessing and 2ndly which directiont the wind is coming from ;) ;D

well then,like the players they need to be stung in the hip pocket.

Eg - an umpire who is benched is only paid for the time he's on the field.
His incident is reviewed and if found detrimental to the outcome of the game,is suspended and fined :thumbsup
