Seems like it was the OPSM "professional" who missed the blatant trip, not the above poster.
If anyone needs more than having OPSM on their backs it is the umpires.
Did you see that non free kick to Green of the Lions by a WCE backman. Hit him flush in the face with a shoulder 10 metres out from goal with less than a minute left. Absolutely the worst decision of the round.
The umpires think they are the stars and love injecting themselves into the game. Geischen even told a coach how the crowd loves the umpire antics of paying a hold the ball (like we go to watch umpires make decisions)
They pay the softest of free kicks especially if they are centre of attention (like a 50 metre free) but miss blatant trips like in Milnes case or the incredible hrad high shot on Green in the Lions v WCE game.
They are really pathetic and this protection makes them feel like they can do anything. All started when the AFL protected that corrupt umpire Head and his blatant and admitted cheating us v Freo a few years back because Thomas had bruised their incredibly fragiles ego's.
Not sure I have ever said that Milne should not have been opaid a free. I was talking about the game as a whole and we got a pretty good deal. I saw the Green one as well and that was another mistake. The umpires in question will be told this. I just dont get what people want. To go back and pay both frees?
Again you should read before you comment. Not in any post have I said it wasnt a trip. I saw it at the game. It was a trip. Why make up things that arent true.
