Umpires getting too involved ???

Post by john locke »

We seem to have umpires dying to get involved in matches calling in the ref for the least little thing , now I'm not saying the dont have a roll in the game , God knows ask anyone from Louth , but their has always been an element of "getting to know you opponent" whether it be from the throw in or if he comes on as a sub which I would think is fair enough once it doesnt go beyond that ?

Spoken like a true corner back :D In what other walk of life would 'getting to know you' entail kidney punches, rib elbows and walking on calf muscles? Corner backs should be jailed at birth :D

Ah jaysus that's harsh!

Couldn't disagree with the original poster more. Umpires, esp at intercounty should be involved more

In no other sport does a sub coming running on and instantly start hitting his man sly digs (or not so sly), to "get to know him"
