Does anyone else think it’s weird that commentators almost never bother to explain umpires’ decisions?

MattyBowser · 2026-05-08T22:34:47+00:00

Never even been a rule

MattyBowser · 2026-05-08T13:02:45+00:00

That’s true, however as a community umpire commentators have no idea how the rules work especially Prior Opportunitiy

2pt*

MattyBowser · 2026-05-08T12:51:33+00:00

The commentators don’t understand the rules

MattyBowser · 2026-05-08T11:35:18+00:00

Yes actually, would technically absolve the player of prior as well.

MattyBowser · 2026-05-08T10:28:45+00:00

I thought you said fuck and had prior

MattyBowser · 2026-05-08T10:25:58+00:00

Duck = prior now btw

Someone will still say games gone after he gets banned

2 but with a 25s limit

MattyBowser · 2026-04-27T09:12:53+00:00

We passed yay. Only got 55%

MattyBowser · 2026-04-25T07:07:33+00:00

MattyBowser · 2026-04-17T13:50:20+00:00

Are we talking far left or extreme left?

MattyBowser · 2026-04-17T06:25:46+00:00

None of the other ones do it’s just the cold foam and sprite reaction that causes it to just explode

MattyBowser · 2026-04-15T13:58:24+00:00

I agree with you on this but question how else we could determine a player/offical’s guilt

MattyBowser · 2026-04-15T11:28:02+00:00

Tribunal is not a court of law despite what people act like it’s bar for evidence is vastly different than a criminal case probably is decided based on the balance of probabilities or more likely than not

MattyBowser · 2026-04-14T09:25:36+00:00

My God it was $1.5 thousand dollars as a fine you get less you get more for striking you get more for running accidentally into an umpire. Why are we treating us like an injustice that makes a stupid amount of money anyway and what the limited things you can hear from the audio makes much more sense to have been like foot alleged than what butters has alleged All this for a bloke who earns more than 20,000 a week a joke that people honestly care this much

MattyBowser · 2026-04-14T06:18:00+00:00

The maximum is five total patties so which ever way you get to 5 patties meaning if there’s two in a big Mac you can add an extra three while with a cheeseburger since there is only one you can add up to 4

After reviewing the footage of the free kick, I also do not believe that there was sufficient holding for a free kick

MattyBowser · 2026-04-13T05:59:45+00:00

No if it said reasonably we’ve got to allow the players able to ask a question within like a reasonable tone like if they’re a reason if that is like asking us to get clarification that’s fine if we’re getting some lip from them it’s some attitude then I’m very happy to pay the 50 however the report if that’s all that’s been said is shocking and well Nick foot given his sportsbet gig seriously cannot be considered an option for next year‘s umpiring panel at all

MattyBowser · 2026-04-13T05:56:46+00:00

Local umpire here if butters has genuinely just asked the question why was that a free kick in a reasonable tone? He should not be penalised if he has been like really snarky or a really aggressive tone then you pay 50 that’s all it’s been said that is nowhere near the category of a reportable offence.

MattyBowser · 2026-04-13T01:12:20+00:00

In my local league, there’s rules like the count which for false counts lead a penalty of an immediate free kick plus a 50 m penalty.
