netball ranting post

anyhow, both my netball divisions got into the quarter finals of the school league challenge. and both divisions got knocked out by the cruel round robin system. what pisses me off was that we were promised the presence and umpiring skills of a qualified netball singapore umpire and when i got there, the butch-a-like biatch told me that we will be using our own umpires.

so i got my girls to umpire our games and of course the opposing teams use their own umpires as well.

HOW ON EARTH IS THAT EVER GOING TO BE FAIR? honestly, both sides have vested interests on the teams they are umpiring. two biased umpires does not make a good national-level netball tournament. how on earth u expect we to improve the standard of our playing down on the school's level?!

anyhow, with the c girls, i knew our opponents were too strong for us. so its quite expected we lost by quite a bit. that team has a girl who is built the size of a fridge! and she fell on top of my gs!

but for the b girls game, i am VERY pissed. their umpire on their side was their PE teacher cum netball coach and he was biased nak mampos. but what to do kan? at least my team had integrity and i didnt tell my student/umpire to be biased to their school. INTEGRITY tau. at one quarter, we were leading. and when it came to the part when he was umpiring the side where my girls are scoring, he was very strict. but only to my girls, of course.

at the end of the game, he came over and said, "i think your girls are very upset at me. but i had to do what i had to do. i had to blow for their offences."

you had to do, what you had to do, alright! which is being biased.

i want to write a long and ranting letter to netball singapore for their failure to provide umpiring services like they promised when they started the league. and i want to complain whats the point of us paying the tournament fees when the teachers had to fix our own playing schedules with 14 other participating schools and all had to be completed in a matter of 2 weeks.

i am so pissed. whats more upsetting was seeing my b girls cry.

must be the damn hormones. i am not normally cool when it comes to netball.
