Richo yeah.
Cost me one night to run home in the wind & rain from Springvale to Burwood .
Made it to Glen Waverley before my feet & elements stopped in Glen Waverley.
Out of pity my friend came and got me from Glen Waverley drove me laughing at me all the way.
Nutcase I was over how the great man played with my emotions.
The perfect flawed human being ;)

O'Gorman is a *smile*. Keep him away from our games in future.

we can rest assured he won't umpire finals. who he pays kicks for and against aside, he's a dreadful adjudicator

Robert O'Gorman (10) has awarded our opponents 48 frees and only given us 5 in the last 4 games he's umpired us in.

They'd stroll to the ground and leave a note in the Tigers rooms with some lube. The note reads "You'll need this later"

It was as bad as its been for a while last night. But we still doubled the score.
I think we will be OK.

With 50 metre pens, don't give them the excuse. Don't go over the mark, don't run through the area, don't do stupid things. Whether the other side gets away with it or not, doesn't matter.

As always I don't care if free kicks favour the oppo, umpires might make blues but that's the way we play. We win many more games than we lose so if we lose the free kick count I don't give a shyte.

I doubt the Pies will continue this appalling conversion rate in the second half.

Right in the Swans back, no free. Dodgy 50m penalty against Swans. Against Tigers player was told 3 times to get back on mark, no free.

Pies absolutely gifted 2 goals. Why don't the commentators challenge what the 50 was for as it clearly wasn't 50 under any rule.
