Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!
- Thread starter iLoVeNeWmAn
- Start date
There was a 5 minute period where the maggots just went ridiculous, multiple very questionable frees to Brissie - drives me crazy when they decide to influence the game like that. Want to influence the game? Then play football, umpires should not be influencers.

Apparently Charlie Cameron approached the umpires' bench during the game to complain about Grimes' tactics.
Not quite like that. The ball came off a pack and rebounded high up in the air where a Brisbane player double fisted it straight over the boundary line. So it didn’t hit the ground and that’s why the umpire claimed it was still in the marking contest. Which is complete *smile* as it came off about six pairs of hands in the first instance so no way it could have been paid a mark to anyone after that.
How about the block on Lynch by Zorko not paid in the first quarter? As bad as the one not paid to Ziebell against Geelong. Then a few minutes later Lynch hardly touches a Lions player in a marking contest and is called for a block. Not too mention just before half time where Harris runs into Lynch and goes down quicker than a $2 hooker; block called against.
Lynch had a shocker today but he wasn’t helped by the green cheats.
There was some dead set cheating going on out there today.

Heard that on the radio while I was working. Commentators were surprised on the radio and stated he had to be dragged away by officials in Lions outfits.
I hope he cops a fine for that imo.
Fagan was non-committal at the presser but the HS says Brisbane will take Cameron's case to the umpiring department.
Fagan said Cameron and Grimes finished "about even" but the 693 team disagreed, saying Grimes won the battle decisively.
every Single week we get reamed by the worms. Every week.
No wonder our % is only 115 after 8 straight wins.
They’re playing a huge roll when it comes to the result of the game.
These are the ones that got me angry yesterday,
*The block on Lynch. 3 of them missed it.
*the deliberate out of bounds
*holding of Balta from Martin
*the fend off by Martin wasn’t high
*holding jacks arm by Andrews 3rd qtr
*the head high on Rioli

From what I see, Grimes got into the head of Cameron.
Good. No difference to what Bri$vega$ were doing too to other players. Dont get his beef. Part of the footy.
Many clubs do it. push how far they can impede without giving away or be seen to cop a free kick.
Umpiring in the games I saw over the weekend was poor. Putting aside the tigers / lions game, the standard and lack of feel for the game is a joke.
Last week it was studs up costing us, which was subsequently changed....and this week it was Andrews bumping into Lynch when neither of them were trying to engage each other.
The holding the ball rule is ridiculous...its a roll of the dice as to which way it goes. You can get spun around three times whilst in possession and get away with it..
How can they get it so wrong ? It will decide games...

Hopefully, as in previous years the umpiring gets better for finals as they let more go to keep the game flowing and the maggots all want to progress to the next round themselves..... Worst of the worst umps get dropped. Fingers crossed..
Saw a photo in the Hun of Salty hugging McInerny after the Moggies Carlscum game. Has he retired immediately after the home n away season or is he still in line for finals?? Reckon there's plenty worse maggots than McInerny.

Crowley often curbed Deledio and I'd have screamed blue murder if I'd seen anything untoward. Never did. Grimes is similar.
Really - would be surprised if they did that.
They won the free count and I can only recall one softish free to us that resulted in a goal (first qtr to Jack) but it was there just.
I may have missed others but I thought we were the team hard done by through my rose coloured glasses.
Sook of the highest order. He should be happy he kicked 2.
Guaranteed we get rammed in 2 weeks time.
