    Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    That sucks, pruc

    Rufflin' the plumage: losing my mobile phone at Spewbie. It dropped out of my pocket on the step above my seat, and I'm in seat #1. Some nice folks picked it up and asked the people behind me if it was theirs, but they didn't ask me! So now I'm waiting to see if they hand it in to the office at Spewbie

    (And if it was you who picked it up, please PM me!!!)

    The girl at netball yesterday shouting at me because I called her up for tripping a girl. She lost her temper and was full on abusing me, screaming that I don't know the rules and alsorts of crap. I was FREAKING out like hell. Then they complained to the other umpire who lectured me about a rule I already know! Why do they all hate me!

    You are a referee/ umpire. It comes with the territory. You can't go through life being as soft as a Prime Minister's hostie.

    I would have if the other umpire had been on my side. When I was checking their fingernails (have to be short for netball) they'd already given me hell and I had to go get the big guns from the office to come and make them cut their razor-blade fingers. I was about to ask the umpiring co-ordinator (the other ump) about the attitute but she went all shirty with me, telling me very loudly I'd got it wrong. With both teams listening. I wanted to ask if she was blind, because the player clearly tripped over her opposition. The girl didn't even try to hide it!

    I was tempted. Very tempted...

    I'd like to think so!

    Fulvio, but it doesn't come with the territory. I'm there on a volunatry basis doing this for free (as far as I know) as a favour for the association and for the players. They should appreciate this and recognise that I have the whistle and the power and respect it. I don't argue with umpire and I don't think they should be argued with. 'Specially when it's me thats the umpire!

    It's easy to fix, Robyn.

    Just hand your whistle to the biggest loud mouth and walk off.

    Or even better hand it to the umpiring co-ordinator and tell her you don't need this shit.

    Sit back and watch the scramble as they try and find another ump

    Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    Flame - You are a genius!! Why can't I think of stuff like that? Well I'm umpiring all season and because I'm certified I'm probably going to end up with that team again, seeing as all the dodgy teams get given to the ones with qualifications cos we're supposed to know how to handle them better! Consider your advice almost in use!
