The umps have this year ruined the viewers experience, not only in saints games but all but 3 games I've watched this year have been poor IMO.

The consistency since the start of the year is just not there.

A free at one end of the ground isn't a free at the other.

Perhaps aswell as AFL teams having a preseason camp, the umpires could get together and agree on what is or is not a free.

Maybe then the comp as a whole would benefit?

And that's my 2 cents..

I'm not normaly this negative, I just think I've had enough.

Que p66 frantic rebuttal. I'm sure there will be a 2 page spread in the HUN on why this decision was wrong during the week.

It was major mistake, but at least he realised it and reversed it.

I'd much rather they admit wrong and correct it, even if it does end up super awkward....

The Huns were a group of nomadic pastoral people who, appearing from beyond the Volga, migrated into Europe c. 370 AD and built up an enormous empire in Europe. Since De Guignes linked them with the Xiongnu who had been northern neighbours of China three hundred years before,[1] considerable scholarly effort has been devoted in investigating such a connection. However, there is no evidence for a direct connection between the Xiongnu and the Huns.[2] The relationships of the language of the Huns have been the subject of debate for centuries. The leading current theory is that it was a Turkic language.[3] However, numerous other languages were spoken within the Hun pax including East Germanic.[4] Their main military technique was mounted archery.

The Huns may have stimulated the Great Migration, a contributing factor in the collapse of the Roman Empire.[5] They formed a unified empire under Attila the Hun, who died in 453; their empire broke up the next year. Their descendants, or successors with similar names, are recorded by neighbouring populations to the south, east, and west as having occupied parts of Eastern Europe and Central Asia roughly from the 4th century to the 6th century. Variants of the Hun name are recorded in the Caucasus until the early 8th century.

They were the bad guys in Mulan.

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)
