Umpire Andrew Stephens a Hawks Fan?

[kosifantutti]

Former Umpire Derek Humpty Dumpty declared this morning on SEN that the umpire was not a Hawks supporter and that the photograph on his social media site was merely one of his 'first game at the MCG'.

I'm calling bull on that.

Can anyone here on this forum honestly say they would be caught dead with another teams banner being thirst thing you see on their own social profile for whatever reason.

If I didn't support any team, I might have a shot of the MCG on Grand Final day.

So his first game was the 2012 Grand Final. Impressive

Another AFL cover up

[To the top]

Be VERY interesting to see when Stephens gets his next St Kilda game - and his next Hawthorn game!

[Con Gorozidis]

AFL ump Hayden Kennedy admitted the Savage kick was quote: "16 -17 metres."

Humphy Smith is a pompous windbag

Twat

[Selhurst Saint]

Humphrey Smith was also the lawyer for "Andrew Lovett" when he sued St.Kilda for wrongful dismissal.

Has anyone pulled them up on this in the media? Or won't they bite the hand that feeds them. No doubt someone went to school with this twat and would know.
If all this is true and it finally comes out the he did barrack for the hawks can you believe anything that the afl has or will say in the future regarding any controversy.

Not good for the conspiracy theorist.

Saw this thread and thought it read "Umpire Andrew's a Stephen Hawkins fan"

[No Holds Bard]

Stephens! Full Of Vexation Come I, With Complaint!
All occasions do inform against him. His offending is rank and it smells to high heaven!
A noose! a noose! my kingdom for a noose!

Check this tonight or tomorrow to see if the maggot is ditched.

I notice the "team" of Fisher, Stephens, Pannell has been rolled out in every round this year. Is this sort of umpire "teaming" a new thing? I hadn't noticed it before.

Was not his first game - but his first visit to the MCG for a Grand Final
Was based in Brisbane

So Humphrey Bear says

Also Head didn't say "Now we know what a win feels like", Schneider didn't get his jumper pulled off his back 35 metres out from goal in the last qrt of the 2009 GF and Hawkins did not hit the post.

Also Stephens did not signal play on and not 15 twice in a row.

Piss on my back and tell me its raining.

Kate, it's been policy for about three or four years to stick with teams. There are pluses and minuses.

[Sobraz]

I have no faith whatsoever in what Humphrey-Smith has to say about who this corrupt umpire supports.

It was just a throwaway line to disarm the question and move on. I have no doubt this corrupt umpire supports the Hawks, and I have no doubt that somewhere in the back of his brown and gold biased brain he was spectating the game and saw the decision his teams way. It may have been a 1% slant toward his favored side; enough to make an incorrect decision that cost a goal.

I am happy to label Humphrey-Smith as a liar. This bloke would stick up for the umpires if they went out and shot bambi's mum; She had it coming.

Andrew Stephens got the Melbourne Richmond game, although they have broken up the Fisher, Stephens, Pannell combo.

I'm guessing the AFL will be very wary of having him umpiring St.Kilda matches and perhaps even Hawthorn matches from now on.

They wouldn't want the little pissant to come under any more scrutiny.

Tell me you're joking....umps cheat all the time, all you have to do is look at interstate umps. Been happening for years like the commentators. Why would you favour saints no one will give a s*** if you shaft them and who will complain. Even if you did complain who would care..sour grapes.

Usually, what goes around comes around and that's how the general public see it..do you believe they see us copping it up the rrrs every week..they would not notice nor want to notice.

Look, I don't subscribe to this umps cheating every week conspiracy you're getting at. But over the last week Stephens has come under some heavy criticism. There was a bit of a Fitzgerald Inquiry over it, and not just from St.Kilda supporters, but from footy fans in general.

[SaintPav]

They'e not dumb enough to drop the slimy cheating gerbil this week. It would be too obvious.

Wait a couple of weeks.

Humph is a lawyer and is full of sh*t.

Pompous wind bag is a media commentator so he should be independent.

Someone should have challenged the pompous wind bag and asked the Humph which team Stephens supports.

AFL umpires should be required to publicly declare what team they support.

Does the AFL even have a policy on this? Unlike the EPL, the AFL is run by amateurs.

Premier League referee Kevin Friend has been taken off Tottenham's clash with Stoke on Monday - because of his links to Leicester City.

Friend's appointment drew an angry response from Spurs fans as they bid to win their first ever Premier League title.

I like your thinking, Pav.

This would be a very pragmatic and sensible way of dealing with the concern of umpires having a preconceived bias (or previous alliance) with/for any club.
