cold case;390728 said:Last ball before tea all happening, in the text of the game situation it was no big deal considering the circumstances, as far as the umpires decision, has anyone conidered that he may have been right and all the half pissed bar room cowboys who were rejected by the Collingwood cheer squad because they did not have enough criminal convictions against their name got it wrong?

popped in to see a great topham inspired win by the mighty pingers v macleod on saturday, we'll be back next year!!
can someone please explain how there were no reports from this match? i heard massive abuse toward the umpires and even the stumps got kicked over when toppy was given not out last ball before tea, everyone heard the knick, except the ump, but the carry on was uncalled for and no reports????? who is in control these days? and where is the comp heading when players can boot the stumps out of the ground and no action is taken?
Vilos;390884 said:Spot on, seen plenty of things on the ground this year that should have got weeks but umpires failed to inforce any of the rules. Stumps being knocked over in the rule book is an automatic 2 matches, I know from experience
WanderingUnity;391021 said:Umpires are not prepared to be the bad guy anymore, they want to be your mates, and have a beer after the game, which is fine, but like the opposition, while the game is being played, there is a job to do.
Saying this, there are clubs, and certain players who take advantage of this, kicking the stumps over is a disgrace, as is any form of dissent, and if the umpires don't report it, then the comp can do nothing, but what is stopping the CLUB from imposing a ban.
This sort of behaviour needs to be stopped and the easiest way is to stop it from an internal point.
harry2bob;391024 said:agree enitrely, although i did feel for the opposition, it was a shocking decision and probably changed the course of the game. however great decision for the pingers! lol
what is it with umpires wanting to be your mates, esp during the game.
we all should be mates after the game, but you dont get over friendly with your opposition during the game. the best umpires just umpire, those who want to be chatterboxes should be down the grades doing my games, maybe then we wouldnt have to do square leg!!! wishful thinking

Too Easy;391029 said:The umpiring this year in the Premier grade of the DVCA was absolutely disgusting from go to woe. Of course there are some good ones, but as a rule the comment above about them trying to be your mates was so blatant this year it was just comical.
Coming from the easy beat team of the year there was a very obvious and evident attitude taken by some umpires that they can give dodgy decisions to or against us all year cause who really cares, they cant play anyway.
There was nothing uncertain about two or three umpires in particular attitude towards us and the arrogance that went with it was something they should be ashamed of. The DVCA is being let down by these arrogant umpires who clearly think its their god given right to be outright aholes to players for no good reason. We had it tough enough all year with these blokes making things a whole lot worse.
To hear the way they would speak to the DVCA's 'Big Guns' when they came out to bat or went back to their mark to begin a spell, you would have thought it was God himself coming into bat/bowl. It was just comical and patheitc. One umpire in particular, who we had on 4 seperate occasions, gave me a spray and told me to get to back to Money where I belong. I may belong there but the last person that needs to be helping me and my teammates on the way is a bloody umpire.
I hope the umpires read this forum cause your behaviour was disgusting and it should be dealt with by the highest powers of the DVCA.

Blaming the umpires for your teams demotion back to Money Shield is laughable and an absolute disgrace. Bad decisions happen everywhere, every club i'm sure have copped their shockers this year. My suggestion is to review the year, work hard, bust your guts out to get back into Barclay next year and stop sulking about things that aren't in control.
Yes the umpires have there favourites, it's been happening for a zillion years, but get over it. I will give you one thing though, if this umpire has supposedly said what you've claimed, that is a disgrace.
Nawab of Pautadi;391124 said:Maybe the the Exec should contact some of the higher grade umps who have given it away over the last 10 seasons and ask them why. Like at exit interview at work. Believe me there are a lot of issues involved.
riversider;391056 said:couldn't have said it any better myself. It's alot harder to stay up than come up. I happened to witness most of the action down at whatmough park satdy. Riversides B grade would have chased down those runs. A very, very ordinary attack as well as very negative field placings. The opening bowler who wears 2 sweatbands wouldn't get my grandmother out.
U guys were very unlucky in the end but the Mark Minney Panthers live to fight another day.
Too Easy;391194 said:It took you blokes 75 overs of the most boring negative batting i have ever seen in my entire life to get our runs.
Looking at your impressive results today overnight at 8/65 it looks like you should have played your twos. Least they would have shown just a tiny bit of fight and ticker.
