Hall cleared - twice

[pinkemu]

Of course it was out of line, and Hall admitted it on One Week at a Time tonight.

I don't remember Hall admitting he was out of line with the umpires.

What did he say?

[pinkemu]

my kids think he's a d***head ... more so after yesterday.

Is that the language they use?

[goswannie14]

I suppose you condone the baiting that ignites retaliation then?

In any other work place that would be called bullying, not baiting.

[573v30]

Yes, common sense has prevailed.

[Bear]

Huh? Unconfuse us!

Are you saying that Hall's conduct towards the umpires was out of line? If so, I'm tipping you're pretty far out on a limb on your own on that one!

OF COURSE IT WAS ... THE UMPIRES ARE ALWAYS RIGHT!

... someone tell me the last time a player argued with an umpire and got the decision changed ...

the decision WAS wrong, but it was never going to be changed, so why keep on antagonising these guys who already are biased against you????

As Roosy said, it's nothing new, and he has spoken to the umpires about it a thousand times ... they aren't changing, simple as that

Classic example my son laid a great tackle on Saturday, he remonstrated to the umpire, and the idiot umpire told him " well maybe I blew the whistle to quick" lesson for umpires is to hold your whistle in and not be whistle happy, if you are in doubt don't blow the whistle.

and btw my son was sent off the ground last year in his last Under 16 game by that umpire that got jobbed last week in the RDFL. J was sent of for yelling out mark your man, the umpire interpreted this as @@@@ your man and send him off, J has been an umpire and had never been sent off in 9 years of junior footy, and this umpire made a name of himself by sending him off. Makes you wonder..........

They should get out more.

[unconfuseme]

My kids love him. They also love MOL and Goodes and LRT (4 players who pretty much stand out) but they love Baz the most because he is big and tough and entertaining. Sydney need Baz's identity - no one captures the imagination quite like big bloke.

The last time Gichrist walked.

he is a liability, a poor example to kids who follow the game, and fails the "no d***head policy".

no ... but if you don't get a bite, you don't waste your time, and BBBB is the greatest sucker of all time! ... when did you last see anyone try to "bait" Kirky ??? ... never, because he's too busy dragging himself to the next contest to be sucked into that rubbish.

Barry Hall is a fool who's time is past ... and all the arm waving and pointing in the world will not change the way the umpires crucify him week in week out ... it's not like it just started last week! ... he is a liability, a poor example to kids who follow the game, and fails the "no d***head policy".

[Yuri H]

some common sense for once.

Amen!

[COBHC]

He does look a bit like he's sucking a lemon when he talks about Sydney. The best he could say (in support of Hall) was that some of the other forwards suffer the same lack of frees - e.g. Brown and even Franklin.

Hird didn't even mention the poser at St.Kilda, Nick Riewoldt who gets looked after the most by the Umps?

[Margie]

No surprise that Hirdy's hate for Sydney had him barely able to spit out anything supportive of Hall!

Love Hirdy (as much as one can an opposition player), but I still think he carries some baggage from the 96 prelim!
