Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!

[UKTiger]

Probably the worst umpiring performance l have seen in such an important game

 

[King Kong]

*smile* robbed by that *smile* in the arc. *smile* you AFL u cheating *smile* *smile*!

It's not correct.
But it's the AFL stats.
Overturn a goal umpire on side on vision?
GAGF Afl.

 

[Scoop]

Everything else seemed ok tonight but that over rule is unbelievable.

We need to see the footage that was clear cut. Umpire called goal.

That’s the ball game.

That *smile* needs to be sacked tomorrow. Can't wait for the BS excuse from the AFL on that one.

 

[artball]

wow ... how does an overturn like that decide a game ...

says a lot about the stupid over-complication of this games adjudication

 

[taraba]

No way you could categorically say the vision was definitive, yet overturned. Staggering and completely unbelievable. The goal umpire’s job is to be in the best position to adjudicate on these things and yet he’s overturned by inconclusive vision.

 

[DragaTheCro]

It was only a matter of time before the goal review system cost a team a final. Well here it is. Unbelievable overturn really.

 

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

Simple geometry says most shots taken alongside the point post will have to clip an infinite goal post, yet it's always been a goal. Until tonight.

Move along. Nothing to see here. AFL have given the green light. Nothing more to discuss….

 

[jokershoppe]

I would like non competing team fans opinions on goal or not.

 

[Born_a_Tiger78]

I'm pretty sure the goal review system was introduced so that games wouldn't be decided on the basis of an umpiring error. Umpire errors happen in every sport, at every level, usually on the field. Typically, it would go both ways.

I can't believe that cloudy 2D video vision has determined the result of this game.

 

[WildStyle]

Love seeing 50 meter penalties when players don't "stand" because they can't hear the umpire above the crowd. Love seeing goal umpire decisions overruled on non-definitive vision. Nothing wrong here at all.

The Baker advantage reversal and 50m penalty goal was just as bad.

How many goals did Brisbane get from free kicks, 50m penalties, advantages paid, or dubious free kicks up the ground that led to goals?

What was the 50 paid for?

 

[Razorgang2]

What was the 50 paid for?

I'm still trying to work that one out.

 

[123cups]

What was the 50 paid for?

No idea why it was 50

No idea why it was a reversal

And no idea why advantage was forced upon Baker

...no idea x3 on that one

 

[Mycotchinrules]

Just putrid umpiring tonight.

Borderline cheating.

If that's the highest quality umpires we can muster for an elimination final, then the game is absolutely *smile*.

Can anyone on PRE/AFP see if Robert Findlay received any substantial donations into a Cayman islands account at 10:30 this evening

 

[Razorgang2]

No idea why it was 50

No idea why it was a reversal

And no idea why advantage was forced upon Baker

...no idea x3 on that one

He had two oppo players around him, clearly no advantage.
