I thought they wore horizontal stripes?
Only in Australia...
Prisoners recruited as sports officials in Australia - NFL News - FOX Sports on MSN |
Wow, two Australian Football threads in one month? Maybe we need a new Forum?! ;)

I'm guessing they will dispense with the background check requirements.
|
I guess when they say, "If you do not shut up I will kill you" has new meaning. ;)
Peace |
I'm assuming coaches will not go as far to argue with the rulings?
|
I guess "sticking them" has new meaning. :D
Peace |

The only in Australia line? Just seemed like something you would find only in Australia. The lines about the stripes refers to this http://robvious.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/stripes.jpg |
"A chronic shortage of umpires forced the Northern Territory Football League (NTFL) officials to turn to Berrimah Prison for prospective boundary and goal umpires."
What's really ironic about this is I bet a "goal umpire" is one of the guys by the goalposts who comes out with fingers blazin' if the attempt is successful. One-handed for the one-pointer, both guns if it's in the middle (for six points). Last night watched a few minutes on some high-numbered station with my younger son -- first time I'd watched any probably since ESPN's early days. Those goal judges are now dressed normally in pants and shirt. Seems they used to have long, white overcoats, making the "shootout" pose all the more interesting. |
Donaghy might get to work again after all?
