Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!

[Mycotchinrules]

Twice Geelong have got the benefit of the doubt and No 50.

The first chance they get against us - 50!!

 

[Merveille]

Dimma has to call the umpires out for not stopping the game. Where is the duty of care!!!
Stengle kicks a goal when it’s 17 v 18. Absolute farce!

They reported Stewart, so game has to be stopped for the victim treatment

 

[Mr Brightside]

Imho we have a case to ask how we are so often losing free kick counts and like today by so much , we always seem on the wrong side of a 50/50

 

[WesternTiger]

Yep 50% more frees. It’s the way we play…

 

[jb03]

Yep 50% more frees. It’s the way we play…

100% i.e. double

 

[TigerForce]

I can't understand what logic these umpires have when it comes to two teams tackling for a free. Even the commentators were shocked we missed so many obvious ones.

 

[Redford]

We gave away a few, but as usual we couldn’t get one.

the questionable ones in front of goal hurt!

 

[tigertim]

The umps run of semi competent umpiring lasted a whole 3 games. Baby steps I guess

 

[artball]

what hurts a bit is the Cants take out our form player
the Dumps don't stop the game
then proceed to give us nothing

 

[tommystigers]

To be fair, I'm the only one saying there's no farce. The statistician is too much of a numbers person to have an opinion on that without facts and figures. All they did was tell me we have scored more from free kicks than anyone else in the last 20 years.

What were the figures? Are we talking hundreds ahead?

I would put it to you that it is the way the defenders play on our key forwards in that time, Richardson and Reiwoldt. It is the oppositions ill discipline and style of play against superior players. They need to hold, scrag, and push out in the contest. Maybe their coaches need to change up the way they play and coach some discipline into them to not give us such an apparent huge advantage.

Why didn't the umpires stop play when Prestia was king hit. I bet they would've if it was a Scats player

Free kicks 13- 26

 

[Mycotchinrules]

Full credit to Geelong. A game of incredible intensity and they only give away 13 free kicks.

Either that, or the umpires are corrupt cheating *smile* with a directive to umpire Richmond differently.

Who knows

We know.

We never get the obvious ones.
Never.
They held the ball countless times only for the knobs to call for a ball up.

Especially those spinning 360deg tackles we do. All day to dispose the ball....no...ball up.

I couldn’t believe what I was seeing; I kept thinking that one of the players with the ball was going to just stop and point out that someone was down.

And how do non-controlling umpires habitually make calls on jumpers being tugged from 50 metres away, but none of them had the intelligence or even empathy to stop the play when a player was down and in outer space.

I guess players on the ground and not moving wasn’t in their list of things to look for. (And it’s a hard game to umpire and all that jazz)

 

[Willo]

The 3 sHocking umpires can gagf. Blatant cheats or totally incompetent or acting on the directions of afl hq.

They can gagf,
I hope they never reproduce. If they already have kids, I hope they’re all real little bastards and get worse when they grow older.
I hope their home loans are over extended.
I hope their cars have 5 flat tyres.
I hope they have flat batteries.
I hope they forget to put oil in their cars and the motors seize
I hope they all get plantar fasciitis in both feet
I hope their dogs hate them and bite them at every opportunity
I hope their mothers in law hate them and bag the *smile* out of them
I hope their (unfortunate) wives are habitual naggers and are *smile* cooks

They can all gagf. Prick bastards.

 

[Mycotchinrules]

De Koening not fit to carry Lynch's bag, but umps allow him to grab, scrag, hold, block all night.

Goes up the other end and they can't blow the whistle quick enough.

I'm so so so *smile* done with this *smile*

And the Scats got a goal while we we're a man down, it's hard enough playing against 22 + the umpires, let alone when 1 player short
