Goal Umpires in International Rules

[TimTamVonRyche]

Anybody else think the goal umpires looked like Gilligan from Gilligan's Island with the red shirt and white hat.

Eddie McGuire's call was very annoying at best. Go back to triple M chin chin. Here's hoping footy on 9 improves on last night.

I thought Dwayne Russell's call was fairly good but i'm hoping Eddie McGuire doesn't call to many games next year.

Duane is a dud!

Oh well it looks like the anti-nine vendetta has started already ...
Hmm i'll probably watch a lot more games on Ten than Nine personally. I like Quarters a lot more than Eddie McEgo.

i think the umpires looked stupid!!! whats with the stupid hand sign for a over...

Eddie cracks too many jokes, he needs to work on his commentating skills on the tele, cause its alot different to the radio.

Dwayne was okay, but he never could tell if it was a over or not.

I agree, it looked like they were saluting whenever someone scored an over.

That umpires' signal for an 'over' is some kind of sick joke surely ?

It looks like a really bad nervous spasm !

Why don't they signal an 'over' like an touchdown in American Gridiron by simply raising both arms straight up in the air ?

OOOps, no, sorry - too sensible !

as you were

I would of thought Eddie McGuire wouldnt be allowed to commentate on any games on channel 9 because hes president of the pies.
