You are right JB. They are cheating either against us or for the team we play. Must be against us because the team we play doesnt seem to get the frees the following or previous week. JB do you think it is the umpires cheating or have the AFL directed them to cheat? This could be the biggest story in the history of the game. make the Essendon story look like a missed shot at goal from the boundary. It will obviously lead every newspaper and TV station today. Just get it out there JB.
And I will answer your two questions as I always try to do. No and and I dont know. Just one question to you JB. How big will this story get? This will be certainly the downfull of either the umpiring department ot the AFL as they are blatantly cheating against us.
I take it from you typically d**khead answer that you haven't a defence for the ongoing incompetency of the umpires, all you do is play the man.
Twice in two weeks there has been footage shown of football shows, showing St.Kilda players are being impeded by their opposition. Blocking 15 to 20 metres off the ball by Sydney all night (which, as you may recall, I picked up on at the time), and now Dal Santo being held all night and not one free for him.
Why are the umpires not watching the behind the ball infringements? Why are they pretending to be the stars of the game, getting miked up and acting the celebrity? (at least that allowed us to hear what we all thought about the Pendlebury free kick when Geary said to the umpire - "that is embarrassing")
You tell us how hard umpiring is. Well if the got the basics correct like watching behind the ball cheating (and infringements, FFS THREE of them missed Kosi's elbow

And despite your infantile half brained sarcastic response, it isn't just Saints fans complaining. The Crows got absolutely dudded by the free against Thompson, a 12 point turnaround that completely stopped their surge.
The free to Pendlebury has been ridiculed by everybody. That idiotic intrepretation now means that all you have to do to get a free is push your back up against the tackling player and you get the free kick

The umpiring is a disgrace and a shambles. The umpires are worse this year than almost anytime I have been watching the game. The intrepretaion of rules are so ridiculous that it is destroying the spectacle of the game.
Who is to blame? Well umpiores need to be consistant and stop favouring one team. But the new rules and the idiotic interpretation foisted on them by that halfwit Geischen (did anybody even half understand WTF he was saying last night???) and the out of touch fools on the rules committee have made their job doubly harder.
And when you have an administration who publicly backs an umpire and then drops them (as what happened to the goal umpire last week) the confidence and certainty of anything they are trying to do is surely eroded to the point that it is making a farce of the game.
So mate, go ahead with you silly hyperbole and sarcastic extremes. It is not just Saints supporters (even though we have not been on the right side of the ledger for frees for and against once this season), it is the whole football community who want to know WTF is happening to the umpiring.
if you cant see that, well like I said last week, when you tried to ridicule with quips about meds, and not knowing football because I was not born in Victoria, you must just be trolling.
