Good work Ross.

[TazzieSaintGirl83]

Nice work from Ross the Boss, sticks up for his team and says no more than is needed.

Well said RL.

Put Bomber back in his place.

Well said RL.

Put Bomber back in his place.

Didn't read it like that. Bomber never really had a crack in the first place. Was just trying to get an edge with the umpires for his players. Ross played that game today as well. All just mid week, pre-match entertainment for supporters and the media.

Speaking of which, do we know who (midget whistle blowers) we have Friday yet?

Yeah, that's what I meant. Put him back in his place in terms of taking away the advantage he was seeking with the umpires. Well played.

As long as it's not McBurney (#3).

I might actually get on a plan to Poland if he umpires.


Fingers crossed for Razor Ray ... gave us a pretty fair run in the finals last year.

Was thinking the same thing. A fan of McBurney I AM NOT!!!!

Riewoldt's received chop of the arms is the biggest 50/50 of any rule application in the game on one player.

Not Vozzo. Please ....not Vozzo

Feels good having the most awesome coach in the league.

But he's right.

Fair enough, if Baker does something illegal ping him.

But Ling MUST get pinged for holding Dal Santo.
Scarlett must get pinged for holding Riewoldt.

Be consistent or just swallow your damn whistle and call play on.

[Stillwaiting]

Good response Ross, it is pleasing bummers coments did not go without a response

[GrumpyOne]

Ross is more than capable to match it in a serve and volley game with Bomber.

Best part of that story

Lyon said defender Sam Fisher and forward Stephen Milne, a late withdrawal last weekend, would join a closed session at the MCG tomorrow and be ready to play against the Cats.

Sounded much the same as Mark Thompson yesterday. Both said what they should have said. RL will be criticised on the Cats forum as MT was here yesterday but we all know both can coach.

[Selhurst Saint]

The last time "sh1t lips" tried that tactic was before the 2004 Wizard Cup final, lets hope for the same result.

[Cairnsman]

Ross you are a ripper. Give em nuttin'.

The man speaketh the truth!

[Thinline]

Personally, while I get the gist (and agree) and I applaud his spirit, I thought the way he expressed himself was a bit like someone who speaks English as a second language...

Don't agree. Bomber Thompson didn't need to say it in the first place. Once he did Ross was obligated to come out and reply. It goes without saying that the umpy's will be watching Bakes and SJ, and to me it smacked of sooking. Actually to me he made it sound like he was a bit worried about Bakes - almost like an over protective father with his son. I didn't see the context in which it was said, but I reckon he made himself (and Stevie J) look a bit foolish.

AS with Malthouse - just because he can coach, doesn't mean he isn't a tool.

Funny after listening to what he said it made complete sense. Had the umpires given a free early to either player we would have probably had Baker for the last 9 weeks.

I actually agree with you. Bomber was quoted out of context by all and sundry yesterday and I made mention of it in another thread.

If people were to actually listen to his interview, he did not say he wanted protection for SJ, he said the umpires should have acted earlier as it should never have gone as far as it did. Made reference to finals being important and teams could not afford to lose players. The rest was just fodder for fans and the media prior to a big final.

Loved the read. Great response. Great news about Fisher too, if it's true
