Mostly 2 and 3 but not as extreme as you make out.
Case closed.
Really difficult to decide which is manifestly greater here: your ignorance or your arrogance!
Who do you think you are to disparage the posts of literally hundreds of Tiger fans, including *many expert, knowledgeable and vastly experienced watchers over decades, by claiming 'Case closed' ? To think you can dismiss what they have posted over hundreds of pages on various threads as if they don't know the game, or even what they are seeing weekly in front of their own eyes. Compared to who/ You?
With you and TBR, it's basically a severe case of: "There are none so blind as those who will not see. The most deluded people are those who choose to ignore what they already know."
That's the main reason I have hardly bothered to contribute to these threads on umpiring much recently, because for me it's just blatantly obvious. I'm more totally frustrated in terms of what any of us can do about it. You can now observe several of these posters on PRE that I refer to above* considering quitting their following of AFL as a result. IMO, this not due to them being paranoid conspiracy theorists in every instance. That's insulting. To restate it: we just seek being allowed to compete on an even playing field.
If you merely had a look at Barret's latest anti-RFC diatribe that I posted the link to above: the 'lionising" (note that pun) of Mathieson dubbing himself the barometer? For what achievements ... exactly? Head-butts; high-shots ignored by umpires; for getting a few consecutive games due to injuries? Then the veiled threats to Dimma and RFC for having the temerity to express a viewpoint on matters that really affect and frustrate them. Who do you think Barret is the stalking horse for? Or, no, he's just such a brave, independent journo, expressing his own views?
In the end, I can only wonder how committed a follower you are.
