I'll cop that im in the Orange category in that instance, however, I think the standard of umpiring will be comparable to the division you play. The higher you play, the better the umpiring. Of course. That is obvious. AFL umpires are better than SANFL umpires, who are better than D1 umpires, who are better than D3 umpires etc.
So that means because we play in shitty divisions, we just have to cop it, not suggest improvements or try and change things for the better?
How defeatist.
It may be a stretch to say that an umpires decision is comparable to a player dropping a mark, but im not of the opinion that you should expect SANFL umpiring standards at div 6 level.. Umpires miss things, interpret things differently, some (alot) just make mistakes, all im saying is simply deal with it, and FFS dont pollute the div 6 thread with umpiring rubbish All very true.
RE polluting this thread, this is a topic which is football related, specific to the lower divisions, and to be honest, is a whole lot more interesting than " hey, did you hear player x signed with y " or " team x are paying heaps of coin!! " or " brahma lodge are cheaterzzzzz! " - that sort of stuff is the real polution, IMO.
You haven't suggested anything, just complained.
