The Truth is a bitter pill to swallow

[King-Eliagh]

Lemme try one more time.

Tackling = Legal in marngrook.

Umpire who penalises tackling = bad umpire

[TLPG]

Umpire who penalises BAD tackling = good umpire
Umpire who doesn't penalise bad tackling = bad umpire

You are imputing that tackling of all sorts is legal in footy. Nope - that's thugby talk!

[King-Eliagh]

Ok we're getting somewhere now.

Now read this.

Me = good tackler, not bad one.

[TLPG]

If you are driving players into the turf then you are a bad tackler - and downright dangerous.

Lemme try one more time.

Umpire who penalises tackling = bad umpire

High tackle = illegal
Low tackle= illegal
Tackle on a player without the ball= illegal
Tackle after a player disposes of the ball = illegal

You= simpleton

[TLPG]

Correction, Xman.

KE = 1. Thoughtless player who shouldn't be out there
KE = 2. Doesn't understand the game
KE = 3. Is lying about even playing

It's one of the those three, and at the moment I'm leaning towards the third one because of his thugby thinking on tackling technique.

[King-Eliagh]

Xman you really are a dipshit. Seriously, cant you come up with anything better than that lamo rubbish? Tackling = legal and a massive part of the game. Its even counted as a stat you idiots. I tackle hard, fair and well. The truth is a bitter pill to swallow.

[TLPG]

And you can't swallow it. Truth is - you are a liar and won't admit that driving a player into the turf is a bad tackle that should be penalised and reported. Whether or not they are counted in stats in irrelevant.

I was just answering your ridiculous post that tackling = legal.

Ahhh no it doesn't.....

[King-Eliagh]

Oh dear. This highlights the lunacy of TLPG and Xman. Tackling is illegal they say What planet are you two from? I sure hope we never see the day tackling becomes illegal in the AFL comp. They've already outlawed many physical elements of the game, with disastrous consequences i.e. jumper punching, shoulder charging injured players as they leave the field etc... and do we really wanna see touch or tag marngrook being played out there?

[TLPG]

There you go again - claiming that all tackling is legal, including;

Driving a player into the turf
In the Back
Around the Neck
Below the knees

All ILLEGAL!!

Oh I forgot a good old fashioned general shove to the ground when the ball isn't around - I pinging a player for that in a ruck contest just yesterday! (Just by the way all of those tackles are legal in thugby!)

Needed to be said.

[King-Eliagh]

Ah can you point/refer to exactly where I claimed all tackling in the AFL comp is legal? And do you think i didnt already know what illegal tackling is in marngrook?

Seriously you turkeys clutch at straws which arent even there just to pat yourself over the back. Hilarious, the pair of you.

Shame on you TLPG and Xman for not respecting an international player with years eperience playing in the NT and NSW.

TLPG you've completely misread the context of my completely legal tackling. To bring a man down one often will drive a player into the ground you silly peanut. I could show countless videos showing just that TLPG. And Xman well, it looks as though you completely believe tackling is illegal in marngrook.

Wow tackling illegal, just when you thought these 2 clowns could not top there stupidity.
Yeah i mean you cant even slide into a contest anymore lol, Demetruio might as well rap these boys in cotton wool. :D

You said "tackling=legal" which means all tackling without exception. So yes, I don't think know you know what illegal tackling is. Any video you produce is bound to NOT show a player "driven" into the turf - unless it was penalised which it should have been.

Needed to be said, and as of now unless you produce a video of YOU playing the game I will ignore any reference to said playing. As it stands, I don't believe you do now nor have you ever.

[King-Eliagh]

You silly goose. When one says tackling is legal it means just exactly what it says. Now stop adding words to try and make yourself look like you're in control here. You're not in control, you've lost the handle completely adding words here and there "without exception". Now here's some video of AFL matches, umpired by an AFL umpire with much more experience than you have there TLPG. Have a look and tell me these player werent "driven into the turf".

I think we have four examples of players getting driven into the turf in this first video. And who gets the penalty? The tackler!

In this beauty you can hear the commentators saying he "drives him into the ground" and incorrectly say "the AFL is trying to eliminate these tackles". TLPG must listen to commentators more than he watches the sport. The umpire says "play on" the tribunal voted this tackle to be a fair tackle :D

Now unless you provide some video footage of yourself umpiring I, and I urge others should, completely disregard your claims of umpiring status. As you clearly dont know what is and what is not an illegal tackle in the game. TLPG, pick up your act!
