[nuggety goodness]

i work with Tom Booth who plays for PAOC and he always tells me he dominates... is he as good as what he reckons?!?

he's played a few in the Cs and less in the Bs. i'd tell you a number but it always changes apparently, he said 23 when he can get it...

i guess if you don't know who he is then he doesn't go as well as he tells me he does... haha!

only if you do it fairly mr rooster as i umpire their home games - stress home games.

yep - i do the c4 game then go and coach the c1 game which is the afternoon clash (v salisbury north in a 2nd v 3rd clash)
i'm also hard but fair.
i'll be the orange maggot with the extra eyes so get those where are glasses calls ready.

How are the uni boys arrogant?
I think they don't take themselves to seriously...?
Good to see Dave Gilbert is back in form for uni - can kick a big bag - much more dangerous than I expected...

They take themselves far too seriously and seem to hold grudges for marginally late late bumps/tackles.


careful punky go easy on these little boys as they seem to cry foul when tackled/bumped hard*.


bring back the Roseworthy boys to C4 they were a much better bunch of blokes.

have to say ur one of the better umpires in the C grades, but i think we were maybe a little too rough on Uni , u let a lot of things go, which surprised me.

[robertneil130]

Fair enough - although I reckon you forget how young the uni boys are. With age they'll get their heads around footy with men.

ah yes, i did let more go than perhaps i should have - did send one off though and severely admonished a few more.

Yeah mate i was #7 for Havens. I chose them coz someone told me the Fitzroy coach was a goal hungry tool? Any truth in that Punky???

Finn, I think you'll find players respect umpires who do let the 50/50 stuff go. What frustrates players, is when Ump's pick up a borderline free, & let the more obvious stuff go.
Also, with regards to the "rough stuff", my opinion is- cowardly king hits/unsuspecting hits (from a clenched fist), throw the book at them, players trade blows- give 'em both 5-10 mins each on the side.
We're not looking for umpires to become part of the game, but act as an independant arbitrator.

That's my personal view.

Most definately not!

[robertneil130]

Hey finn are you darien?
I used to play with the White deaths In custody but now just watch.
Is Heath, Colbatch or Broadbent still playing?

that was some of the stuff that was overlooked. Thats why i was surprised. 1 guy from our side who i had never playd with who eventually got sent off for 10, prob hit 5 guys with clenched fists in some Ultimate fighter type situations!. Dont care if hes on the same team or not i hate that crap. I had my fair share of scuffles through the day but it was all shirt pulling and bit of aggressive bumping. That i like
