Such a pity!

Dear Miss Southpaw Goal Shooter,

Not only are you a NON-ENTITY in my books but your thoughts and opinions doesn't matter. The fact that you took the time to make a call against my umpiring garments also shows your malicious and selfishness.

Not only was it NOT your business what I wore but what my friends and I do shouldn't be a concern to you either.

Be mindful of the fact that you aren't the only bearer of NEWS.

You can also KICK ROCKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Such a pity !!

Mind your damn business !!!

Dear Miss Builder of Netball,

Your malicious prying of why I was wearing all black tonight ( 04-04-11) when umpiring was certainly none of your business.

I can distinctly recall that you are a SELECTOR and NOT an officer of the Barbados Association of Netball Umpires ( BANU).

According to you in your ranting," Look wha happen to d game I build?" As far as I am aware, careers,etc are built so if this all that you can claim.......................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Furthermore, you really need to know the rules of the game you built. In the IFNA Protocol for Umpires , revised in August 2010, section 1.2 reads : An umpire's clothing including any colour trim,shall be DISTINCT from the playing uniforms of the competing teams and PREFERABLY white or cream in colours ( Rule 3 .1:5).

Look at the two words bolded Miss Builder and understand what they mean. Or can you????

By the way,stop complaining about me and complain TO me.

Mind your damn business !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Totally unfair !

The lack of professionalism displayed last night at the Netball Stadium towards Julie Phillips was so wrong in so many ways it's frightening.

Scheduled to umpire in the Senior Knock-out finals ( COW Rangers v NCC Ballers) as indicated on her umpiring fixture and highlighted, Miss Phillips turned up and informed the venue/court official that she was available for 'duty' only to be told she was just the reserve? NONSENSE !!!!!

The Barbados Netball Association and it's League Committee should be more tolerant and respectful of people's feelings. This situation should never had occured and wouldn't have if the Executive had told Miss Phillips before her arrival at the Stadium that her services weren't required.

Subtly ONE officer of the League Committee had indirectly said that she wasn't the 'fixtured' umpire and when asked for verification, said she wasn't sure.

It was unfortunate that all this played out ( pun intended) in front of a relatively large crowd of spectators who can never and will never feel the emabarrassment and humiliation of Miss Phillips.

TOTALLY UNFAIR !!!!
