Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!

[Legends of 2017]

Umpires are in baby blue today. As stupid as they look, I’m glad. In the past, the idiots in charge have had them wearing yellow in tigers/ hawks games

Sssssh - don’t tell anyone but we won the free kick count today - love the blue

The Hawks fans at the G were carrying on like they were being crucified by the umps in the second half.

We won the free kick count 25 - 22 and I didnt think there were any particular howlers

We won the free kick count? Wow!

I must say I didn’t think the umpiring was at it’s usual terrible level today.

We were well down for frees at half time so I understand why a one-eyed Hawk supporter would believe that to be the case in the 2nd half.

At least the umpires treated both teams with the same contempt this time

 

[Letsroar]

Thought that overall the standard of umpiring was in line with the standard of the game

I thought we got a good go in the second half.

 

[Ossie]

Power, Dalgleish and Johanson are the umpires for our game tomorrow. In other news, our old mate Rob O'Gorman survived getting dropped after his howler non-decision costing Brisbane the game against the Cats. He gets to torture the Giants and Dees fans on Sunday!

we were flogged by Sydney fair and square. But these jokers were taking the *smile*.

I was actually praising the umpiring in all games except for the Lions stuff up, until I saw this today.

 

[Fighting Fury]

They killed us but benefited from a lot of soft frees in front of goals.

I’ve been trying to find a stats breakdown of goals from frees, etc. Cannot find it anywhere.

How was free against Macca and he was knocked out, sorry that's *smile*.

He apparently ducked....

How was the non-review of Balta's kick to goal called touched?

 

[TigerPort]

Tell me how that wasnt a mark to Nank at half back and a 50m penalty

 

[St Kevin]

As bad was the umpires were, we were worse. That says it all.

Agree, from what I saw we were shithouse, but 25-15 doesnt help, nor do things like the Nankervis non-mark, and seeing something ignored for a Richmond player, but effusively paid the other way. It really burns when MMM commentators say the game was well adjudicated.
