Unless of course you believe that you're a law unto yourself! Why is it necessary to openly slag the organisation that you were part of for some many years just because you don't get you're own way. Is that the sort of behaviour you learn in Business Class? He's had an on going feud with one individual for some time now, but has recently decided to take aim at some well respected names in the sport. I don't care who he referees, where he sits on the plane or how many countries he's visited. Even as a non participant in the sport I can see what this is all about and where it is heading. Quite sad really!
Qld officials are nothing more than an old boys club full of useless duds. They got rid of Brad who was there best ref. Until they get rid of the senior citizens in there ranks they will always be the joke of Aussie boxing.
Was up there late last year for a Myer promotion and didn't have a problem with the promotion overall or the officiating. Who would be the senior citizens you're refering to?
To be fair they have opened up to some new guys in the ranks in the last year or two. Phil Austin is still young at 45 - now a white belt in Karate so only getting stronger LOL Former fighter Paul Tapley is starting to ref more. 30 odd years of age. Adam Height( think thats his last name) is in his 30's I imagine and he is going well. A few others might need to retire though before their hips give out
I need to make a correction about Phil Austins age. I have recieved over 25 text messages throughout the night and this morning explaining that he is not actually 45 until August. Sorry Gramps Never seen so many pommy expletives in my life! haha
Your right mate, Id say Phil is closer to 50 though Paul is doing well and Adam is the second best young judge in the country apparentlly, Right behind a young judge from Perth.....:smoke:smoke
I like Paul Tappley, he is good for boxing in Qld. Adam.H at least now I know where he fits in. As for Vocale I reckon rip the logo off and pin it to his .... if it is not sitting in the right place.
the only thing i dont like about Austin as a ref is he talks to farkn much, he should let the fighters fight and do his job instead of spruking off for the cameras.
Looks like Australia"s self appointed guru of referee's :yep is not going to be content until he's slagged every official in his state. Ref for the SBW bout got a serve on another forum from "God Almighty" making the every growing list of those whom " just don't seem to measure up" in his eyes. Interesting observation from someone who admitted that he didn't even watch the bout.:huh Can't remember anyone in this sport losing respect at such a rapid pace. If their is a God, Let this man be appointed coach of the Maroons!!!!!
