Well this is Awkward, Is Nicholls trying to take Margetts precious mantle? Just our luck that we have Margetts umpiring us on Saturday,I bet he will be looking for me in my Anchor Jumper and will get me turfed for calling him a "Green Margett."
Seriously, Where will this insanity stop? If I yell "Ball" Then "Oh you blind idiot" in frustration, will I be tossed out for referencing someone with a disability? Cmon.
"Princess" "Clown" "Dipstick" "Spineless" are they all banned now too?
I'm really surprised Nichols heard everything so clearly. Being on the field a few times and coming up the races for a few games of little league, the noise is so loud you can hardly hear the person next to you yelling.
Anyway, If giving someone a spray was a problem, then I'm pretty sure most of our AFL coaches would be getting tossed out of a game every year.
This is not the tennis! I'm pretty sure there is not a message at the beginning of the game saying: Crowd hush now, serious footy business about to begin. Next we will be getting emails and messages in the record saying the following words are prohibited and shall not be used at the footy. Problem is the Record will look like an old yellow pages and the cost would be so high no one would buy it, and you would have them confiscated on the way just in just in case you threw it at an umpire in frustration.

I blame the players for this! All this started with "You talk like a girl" and progressed to "Cheat". Then when a Fan mimics their football idol they get tossed out [Shane/]
Seriously, I'm pretty sure you would know that as a Footy umpire you'll cop some flack, some creative, some insulting, put your ear phones in and just get on with it and toughen up, Go drink some Milo and reinforce your spine and intestinal fortitude.
