Could be a "Straight Sets" outcome cantbuyagoal

History dictates it usually is for the clubs that have umpiring issues during the year

I will watch with baited breath and see if history repeats again

He’s the same bloke they’ve had for a few years now umpires don’t win you games of footy or the league and ressies wouldn’t have lost all their games last year.

Well I guess about now dog turd is thinking throwing unsubstantiated slurs at rivals heading into finals was probably a bad idea, especially when your from such a shit club yourself.
I have to disagree with some comments though, The HW ump is actually not a bad ump but you have to be more than 5 goals in front at 3/4 time for him to play fair.
If they have a sniff look out. This is why He wasn't too bad last year when they were 20 goal easy beats and why it is so obvious when he cheats this year.
And while we are throwing cheap shots around... How come HW were so shit and should have been relegated last year and in the finals this year...paying players?

go into our team list mate pretty much the same team that ran out on the park in 2016. Last year had players working away and also travelling. Some not interested in playing. If we were flogging sides in the c2 comp that’s where you might be a little concerned but getting over the line just every week shows where a c2 side. Where playing 4 colts in the league side to. Most the time there doubling up. Sorry that you’re hurting queens town about hw doing well hugs your way.

Dogs03, I've had enough of reading the dribble that you post on here. I have no doubt at all that you're the High Wycombe umpire, and I hate using the word umpire to describe you. You're a cheat, no doubt in my mind. I've seen it on an almost weekly basis this year, and I have no doubt that I will see it again over the next two weeks. You start arguments with opposition players and then give them a yellow when they bite back. If a HW player argues back you just dish a 50 metre penalty. You allow players to belt each other, provided they have a HW jumper on, but get all precious the moment anyone says anything back to you. It's no wonder that you've been belted on the field this year. I give it less than two years before you get belted again. The only reason that you're an umpire at that club, and everyone knows it, is because your old man is the president. You're going to get players belted by posing as a player, but you don't care. You're an embarrassment to our club.

Waterboy you just hit the nail on the head ! He is an absolute disgrace iv witnessed him first hand change the outcome of games this year with horsesh&$ decisions in HW favour , he antagonises players into biting and the sends them off , he’s the type who was bullied by footy kids at school and now is gettin his revenge ! And what an absolute loser gettin on footy goss and pretending to be a player Hahahaha ! Even his own club hates him

maybe its an issues with their umpires this year... didn't seem like one last year...
their new reserves umpire is good lets the game flow. the other one not sure what happened to him but he was shocking. good thing they got rid of him. now only complaints are the league umpire.

will be interesting if they bring in the pooling for umpires maybe this will stop most of the issues. there are a few this year in c2 alone that are shocking.

credit to the hw boy though they are def playing some good football this year. dont see them making it far in finals but nice turn around from last year.

Waterboy. did the umpire get belted at a hw game this year. how have we missed this?

Everywhereanywhere he umpire in the Metro Football League on a Sunday and was belted by a player there.

As for the reserves umpire, he left the club. I have mixed feelings about his work on the field. He had some good games, and he had some bad games. You must have encountered him on a bad day. He'll be missed more because of the work he did off the field. I believe that he is now umpiring on the panel, but I cannot confirm that for sure.

The league umpire had an ok year last year, but was just as bad the year before as he is this year. He was right about one thing though, why say anything to the umpire at all?

I guess how good or bad an umpire is comes purely down to the viewer on the day. You may like umpires that umpire a certain way, and your mate next to you may like them to umpire a different way. Case in point here.

The club going well this year comes down to having a different team on the park from last year, and a different coach. I'd love to see us go deep into the finals, but we're slowly running out of troops through injury

waterboy are you sure he is umpiring panel.. heard he umpires juniors in fact have seen him umpire juniors for me boy?

if he is panel umpiring be interesting to see what grade and where maybe he is different when not umpiring at his club.

got a couple of mates who use to play for hw and word on grape vine was he did stuff off the field but got paid for that?

why did he leave ? did he not agree with the league umpire and not want to be associated with him.

encountered him twice this year and wasnt sure he was on the same park as us.

on other side heard the club was traveling well on an off the park... good to see me old club fighting back though. the blokes are good people.

Waterboy what has happened to the coaches from last season? Are they involved in any way? Seems like you had nothing to play with last year compared to this season. Was it harsh to move them on without the “cattle”. Or were they just not what the club wanted. Have heard the league coach this year Is a past coach of a few of what was a colts side he coached. Anyway good luck for the finals.
