Sham posing as comment


By Arc Arbiter of Omniscient Retrospective Future Thinking – Jaso Fontain

On the eve of the Arc's first Plenary Session on Strategies to Bring the AFL to its knees , the Arc’s prognostications have been borne out yet again by reality. Last year the Arc opined the depths that umpiring had plumbed and the precarious position that it had left the Australian Game in. The Arc also argued that the corrupt and evil AFL legislated to protect umpires from any criticism from those involved in the game. The Arc also suggested that the media were complicit in the AFL’s attempts at silencing dissent by not vehemently attacking the petit despotic law keepers. The Arc’s omniscience cannot be questioned after it also called for greater scrutiny of the Chief petit despot himself Jeff Gieschen and the lengths this corrupt running dog of the AFL will go to protect his vile little charges. Only last week the Arc tackled Chief Giesch head on over his defense of umpire cockhead (umpire Matthew Nicholls) after he paid an offensive and game destroying free kick against Sydney’s Shane Mumford for touching North’s David Hale.

It appears that the Arcs wisdom could no longer be ignored with something sensible finally coming from the keyboard of Herald Sun chief football writer Mike Sheahan. General Sheahan urges the AFL’s head propagandist and minister for lies Adrian Anderson to take Chief Giesch to task over some of the decisions made in last weekends round.

The Arc applauds the usually placid and non-revolutionary Sheahan for finally having something to say on this massive issue. While he raised the issue and declared that interpretations of interpretations are confusing (just like that sentence) and possibly even wrong (lets not go too carried away) the Arc condemns Sheahan for not going far enough.

Chief Giesch should be sacked and the umpires made to sit in a room with rabid members of each teams cheer squad (with the exception of illegitimate teams such as West Coast, Adelaide and Fremantle, who deserve to be on the receiving end of poor umpiring decisions) and defend their poor and ridiculously bureaucratic decisions.

But the lack of intestinal fortitude is hardly surprising coming from a’ journalist’ who refuses to ask the tough questions and is merely a pole rider of the AFLocracy. The most damning indictment however is Sheahan’s negligence in not asking for Ray Chamberlain to placed back on the sex offenders register.

This surely is unforgivable.
