Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!

Not the first time this year we’ve been reamed by the umps in the 2nd qtr. 7-1 against...FMD
 
The constant booing from the eagles fans when they don't get every decision their way definitely influences the umps.

And an 8 meter kick is paid a mark. The umpire even had the visual cue of the same line of cut grass. We were poor and ran out of legs but were robbed blind by the muppets.

Always knew that game would be decided by the umps.

The only reason the umps had a role to play is because we dropped our bundle and let WCE in the match.

Our fault.

Sure, we could have played better and killed them. But in a close game over there they will always be the difference.

Sure, umpiring over there is always biased. But we were 3 goals up in the last. We can't blame anyone but ourselves.

The biggest worry for me re the umps is the dangerous tackle one against Pickett, that just starts destroying the game when poor decisions are made like that.

You just want consistency.

That’s how I felt. We allowed them the opportunity. It’s on us.
 
If the umps are that mentally fragile that they're so easily influenced by the whinging sooking eagles fans ( my god never witnessed a more pathetic sooky supporter base who moan and boo and sulk every incident that doesnt go their way - ) then they shouldn't be AFL umpires.
