It's great to have TigerFan on Big Footy, don't get me wrong. It would be to great to have more Orang-Utans on here, to explain some of the crazy decisions they make during a game. It also adds another dimension to Big Footy. But like Dockerboy said you don't see any football players bagging out fellow team mates or their club. I think the last line might make him an umpire!!!

Facilities are pretty good. Clubrooms aren't huge, but they are reasonably modern.
Atmosphere should be rockin, especially for the first home game of the year. Will put the quiet Sorell crowd to shame.
And the Seniors could be closer than you predict. They match up well against us.

If you read my post not long after the one from LFC you would notice that the Hawks haven't got ahead of themselves in the slightest. It was a comment from an umpire about look out for the Hawks, not from us. And I have also noticed that LFC hasn't replied to my post about how he expected the Hawks to go last year and last week.
So please make sure you at least address your comments to the right people.

It's good to have lots of different people on the site
Not so much on this thread no, some of the Vic country threads used to have a bit of that going on, no-one was sparedJasar said:
I noticed flicking through the Online Advocate that the proposed State Premiership between the premiers of the SFL and NTFL has been put on ice because of a lack of organisation between the two bodies.
Playing it as a curtain raiser to the Devils would be a complete load of shit in my opinion, totally downgrading the day and the meaning of the match.
It would be nice to see football working together to make something work one day....

They probably have got it about right for curtain raisers for devils games, my eight year old gets his first game at Aurora on the 28th, will probably be more interesting than the main game.
Shows what esteem SFL and NTFL comps are held in when a clash of Premiers only rates suggestion of a curtainraiser, though it would be the best crowd the Devils would get all year.

Don't get me wrong i also think its Fantastic that we can have TigerFan on here and keeping the football world up to date from the umpiring side of things! I just believe some of the things that he is saying are far to harsh towards the umpiring association and should think through before typing.
Maybe you say these things TigerFan because your a little angry with your appointments?? Anyone with a bit of talent would deff be getting observed by various coaches in prem league or state wide (back then) but you seem to be shunted away in the bush all the time?? That tells me that you dont really have much potential. Sorry to put it so bluntly

Scores/results from todays games anyone :- Regionals, NTFA div 2, ODFA?
The 'Farne downed Channel by about 160 Pts
The 'Farne downed Channel by about 160 Pts
once again, you're confusing my attitude toward certain members with my attitude toward the association in general
come on, you can't be serious?
if you're expecting me to take the bait, you will be sorely disappointed.
Jesus, how many did Tubby kick out of their 39.9 today, Cad?
Hawks by ten goals over Claremont,
Sorell over Kermandie at Geeveston,
Cygnet in a canter over the Triabunna Kangaroos,
Huonville over Dodges Ferry,
Clarence over Hobart,
North Hobart over Brighton,
Glenorchy over New Norfolk,
Lauderdale over Kingborough.
Can't remember all the NTFL and NTFA scores off the news but North L'ton (I think) had a mammoth win over the hapless East Devonport Swans.
But the highlight for me was this blunder from WIN News. They've put these scores up:
Longford 13.8.86
Deloraine 13.9.87
Colin McNiff comes on just before 6pm with "Footy Update" (or something along those lines) a basic wrap of the scores from around the state, and says "Longford just getting over the top of Deloraine."
I thought "Hang on, that's not what your scores say!"
Well bugger me, if the young fella reading the sports news half an hour later doesn't say the exact same thing to the exact same score!
UNPROFESSIONAL!
Wouldn't happen if Me or Kingpin or Wilbur35 or Cadoras or TigerFlagWavingOrangeParasite..Fan were running things in Main Road, New Town!
Would never have happened in Peter Sharp's day!
You'll love this Wilbur35 - Craig "Ross Jnr" Grace has today fronted me to take umbridge with my comments of the other day.
He's playing in the early game, it's half time, so he should clearly be in the rooms, where has he taken his frustrations out upon me?
IN THE CANTEEN LINE!
May I add I was only there to get something to eat for my Daughter!
I have a witness to this too - I spent the day with former DOSA and OHA utility Martin Absolom!
He was there to present the Martin Absolom Sheild to the winning side!

He kicked a few, Proud kicked a few, most of it was shared out between their running players and crumbers.
Not making excuses for Channels performance but it was a lot better than last weeks debacle. We had no bench in the last quarter due to injuries which made it a bit awkward.
This was on top of six withdrawals before the game from last weeks side.
The first quarter was only two points or so difference so when the Saints play well, they are able to match it.
Ill leave it to Jelly to give his version when he goes back to work on Monday.
Haven't been able to find anything yet, kept checking and hoping Kingpin had posted them.
But I did find these.......
What's the worst thing that can happen to an umpire when he gets home after a game?
- His guide dog bites him.
- Because speed humps can slow traffic and save lives.
- Which white cane to pick up in the dressing room.
- Rare.
- None, being able to see anything clearly has no relevance to their lives.

A football player dies and reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks his dossier and says, "Ah, you're a football player -- you're in the wrong place." So, the football player reports to the gates of hell and is let in. Pretty soon, the football player gets dissatisfied with the lack of football fields in hell, and starts building and marking out numerous fields of play. After a while, they've got League competitions, Australian standard grounds and flush toilets and free admission, and the football player is a pretty popular guy.
One day, God calls Satan up on the telephone and says with a sneer, "So, how's it going down there in hell?"
Satan replies, "Hey, things are going great. We've got League Competitions, Australian standard football grounds and flush toilets and free admission, and there's no telling what this football player is going to come up with next."
God replies, "What??? You've got a football player? That's a mistake -- he should never have gotten down there; send him up here."
Satan says, "No way. I like having a football player on the staff, and I'm keeping him."
God says, "Send him back up here or I'll have you reported!"
Satan laughs uproariously and answers, "Yeah, right. And just where are YOU going to get an umpire?"
Been down the country at a barbie all day/night, missed the results I'll get them out the paper when it comes in.
Not the way Rainbird does NO
and we aint counting any chickens yet, just want a good year with the good coach we picked up, Your lose was our gain agh.
surely this isn't the same Justin Rainbird who made his field umpiring debut at Oatlands yesterday?
