the umpires are making an example of this as it was right at the peak of a string of barry hall violence. They are showing his shit wont be tolerated. Good on 'em.
I know umpires have a tendency to ignore players with reputations - but this is just farcical! Yelling out "he chopped my arm", is not abusive in the slightest and we see it just about every game. I also agree with ChozzieBoy - ever since moving to the Bulldogs he is perceived as a legend, but at the Swans he was a thug...Damn Victorians - can't wait until the interstate teams to start to dominate again.
Amazing how the media perception has changed since he moved to Melbourne. He's a legend now and needs protection, but while he was a Swan he was a thug and needed to be "better than that".
A commentator even complimented one of his headlocks since he joined the Bulldogs. Pathetic but typical Victorian bias.
if that stupid green little cunt knew the rules and paid the free for holding the arm then he "wouldn't need to do it". fucken shit cunt umpire. learn the rules you little whore.
Maybe if Barry Hall hadn't been such an arse in previous games then the umps might've listened to him and given him the benefit of the doubt. If a player is known for being abusive to other players on the field is it any surprise that the umps don't listen to him.
all you pricks out there who reckon baz went nuts with this, think about it. how would you react if every game players would tag you and work at trying to set you off. the umpires werent exactly on barry's side either!
Not a fan of Barry Hall but those were soft free kicks. 3 x 50m penalties just ridiculous. The free kick was legit - shouldn't have been given the first 50 metre though.
How the fuck was that one 50m penalty let alone 3 fuckoff umpires and retarded commentators. I'm an eagles supporter, so i hate the swans/enjoy the rivalry but this is total bullshit
the 'holding the arm' free kick is crap. hall is clearly trying to shephard the hawthorn player and the arm is barely held. the hawthorn mark should stand.
1st 50 was ridiculous, agreed. there was no abuse whatsoever and the umpire, as usual, was being a pompous twat.
2nd 50 was correct because there was a definite high contact and it was too forceful, while the hawthorn player didn't do anything wrong.
3rd 50 was garbage. barely even touched the head, it made contact with the chest.
@ChordAbsolute Couldn't agree more. The Ump missed the first one - the arm-chop. Pinged him 50 for yelling "he chopped my arm". Pathetic. Then Roughead runs through him from behind - blind bastard of an Ump didn't see that, but he *did* manage to see it as Hall retaliating. What a crock of shit. And no, I'm not a Swans fan - but I HATE it when some guys just don't get blatantly obvious frees. Sucks to have a reputation. Any free kick the Barry Halls of this game get, they earn
@Skindoggiedog Well there ya go then - you're right. His arm was 100% pulled back and held in a double-arm 'neck break' hold. Big deal - he was still held without the ball. No free. 1st 50m penalty was for saying "he held my arm". Weak as piss decision eiher way. And from then on, it turns into a total farce...
@ChordAbsolute You see the umpires are making calls on a player and your getting freebies? I would be fucking with Barry all day too. He is angry, frustrated and hurting his own team, and hes an asshole. Only a complete idiot would pass up that opportunity
The Hawthorn players did a good job in teasing him, like a pack of hyenas (same colours too), they surrounded him and probed him. Seems funny now, but the Swans were only a kick behind before it happened and it was the final quarter. Doesn't make you like either team really. In fact, I think it boils down to this, we should all, support the Saints in 2011.
As much as Barry hall is a wanka, all 3 penalities were crap. First 50 for swearing at an umpire, unpires are meant to be impartial - ie. non-emotional. Second 50m barry does nothing, a player runs into him. 3rd 50m was there id say, two high arms in the neck.
@myforwik being impartial does not mean you ignore when a player swears at you. if you let one player do it, every player starts doing it, and then where do you draw the line? i agree the second one was probably not there but swearing at an umpire is always 50.
what the hell, that second 50 metre penalty was rubbish, barry hall put his arms out as a gesture of "what was that for" and the hawthorn player ran straight into his arm, what a terrible umpire, he can get stuffed, Barry FTW

That was nothing even remotely like a chopped arm, and he didn't yell "he chopped my arm" it was "he had hold my arm" or "he held my arm".
