In our first round match we had an opposition bloke sent of for dropping the F bomb on the field, seriously, what are we coming to when we play a "man's" game and you cannot talk like a man on the field without the whimpy little umpire sending you off for swearing?
If it's an audible obscenity that can be heard over the fence, that's definitely reportable/yellow cardable, like it or not.
We've been told to crack down on abusive and obscene language. Now while I drop the F bomb at least 10 -15 times a day at work, I do it where I know people wont get offended.
Look, personally speaking, it would have to be stand out like dog's nads obvious before I'd write someone down for swearing, but if I had to I would. I'm usually busy enough worrying about not getting crunched by rampaging full forwards and full backs to worry too much about someone dropping the magic word...
As for the Ardmona vs Tally thing, I was at that game, and though I couldn't hear it from where I was it was pretty obvious there was a decent spray being delivered. That's all I can really say on that.
