Totally agree with this. I posted once before about a Carlton vs * game from '93 that I happened across on YouTube. The stark difference b/w that game and what we see now is just how fast the umpire came in to bounce the ball. If it even looked like a scrum would form, in they came, grabbed the ball, bounced/threw it up and off went the game again. It meant that there was no time for the "20 players around the ball" situation to develop in the first place.
And the game flowed ...

Unless you are referring to an umpire that incorrectly paid the mark … I suggest you are posting in the wrong thread old timer

Nope. Not at all. Just a statement of fact that you and Thy can’t get your head around. The umpiring hurt us in the first three quarters. So did our s**t skills. One fact doesn’t invalidate the other. Both contributed to our 3/4 time deficit. Certainly our skills contributed more. As did Jones inexplicable decision making. But the umpiring hurt us. Period. Moving on from that now. It’s a no win topic with a few here.
says every supporter from every team..........why should we be so special?

Alternate question. Why should we be the flagbearers of umpire support?

gotta say - the umpires need to be better directed in a couple of areas - forget this best mates with the players crap - use of names should be banned - chopping the arms, carlton 30 - that's it, club and number - as for don't push him, jack, take your kick, you can't run around, give him the ball back rubbish - players know the rules, what are they gonna say, he didn't warn me enough? respect for the umps - there's an idea..........

Take those bloody microphones off them, put them in white and pay them extra for trying to be be invisible.
Aw jeez, now we'll have to change our away jumper again.

At a contest, when a whistle blows, I often, genuinely and increasingly regularly don’t know who’s free kick it will be. It feels like a lottery. It has taken away some of the joy of watching. I accept it is hard to umpire but it really frustrates me. The constant tinkering just adds to confusion. Just my opinion.
Would be great if in 50/50 situations the referees just called play on. Hate all the stoppages and the need for interpretation
