Well the events that occurred during and after the Cockburn vs Canning Sth Perth have set a new low for this community football watcher.
First it has to be mentioned I thought the present situation with the PFL was that all league games were umpired by neutral ump's?

It took all of 5 minutes to realise one of the officiating umpires was certainly not neutral.I think most involved with community football have had to endure such circumstances and it soon became apparent this was going to be one of those examples...and we were resined to that fact. As they say "It is what it is"

However from there things just became ridiculous with this individual. At one point after Cockburn had kicked a goal and were celebrating he ran from 60 to 80 meters away to over rule the Canning Sth Perth supplied umpire. This soul destroying moment for the Cobras and his biased Umpiring paled into insignificance compared to his behaviour after the game.
He was obviously proud of his efforts as he unashamedly went about back slapping some of the  Canning Sth Perth players declaring "see I told you I would get you over the line".

This has to be an embarrassment to the PFL, the Umpiring fraternity and even more so to the 2nd umpire?
This individual should never be allowed to officiate a game of marbles let alone football ever again.

You're not getting confused with another game you might have been at on the weekend are you Stinker? Sounds awfully like you're describing a West Coast Eagles game with Dean Margetts in charge.

The umpires are pooled. If it was league there is no way the guy was associated with Canning.

It could have been Frankie umpiring the game

Very respectful tips and comments on game this week regarding Cockburn Cobras.
Unfortunately last week's events had the result of deflating the side rather than firing them up.
They will rebound...
