Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!

I've always assumed KB is one of the best windup merchants in the business.

he is.
but he is also on the rules committee so he shouldnt be winding people up about umpiring decisions and interpretations.
 
The holding free kick awarded to Pendlebury in the goal square yesterday was an absolute disgrace.
 
what about that eagles player who got tackled late in the game and feigned high contact (darling or mackenzie?). from the normal camera angle it looked a free kick, but the side angle showed what a cheat he is. disgrace.

a few years ago the AFL came out and made 'staging' for free kicks a reportable offence. why wasn't he reported?

I reckon the field umpires in general have done a fantastic job in the last few weeks. Just letting the play go on and not paying the tiggy touch decisions. Great stuff.

Apart from the holding the ball or total lack thereof I agree. How bloody hard is it to reward the tackler ?
 
I see Marghets has been given another chance to screw us over against Adelaide, then again he might give us the rub of the green, then again pigs might fly.
 
The Geisch must have rang Sanderson before the game and said don't worry we are going to shaft the Tigers again
 
Omg this is the pits there were 4 too highs for them that qtr where we didn't touch them :-X
Can they drop the ball anymore - Roos hates us getting frees
 
I think its umpire number 12, he gave the free against Edwards at the beginning of the game, the Rance movement off the mark which didn't exist following up with the Mckernan free, bloody pathetic

Clueless!


I mentioned on the game day thread they have gone backwards at such a pace since the last quarter of the Saints v Weagles game last week. Has the Geish come back early from his holidays because they've been putrid since then?????
