Umpires

Am I just being biased or are the free kicks against us extremely 50/50 decisions that are going against us?

Fair Dinkum you have got to be joking. Please wake up.

Umpiring was shocking but it went both ways. No clear impact in the end.

Why. It was good.

Because there were stupid little frees plucked out of nowhere every now and then for the sake of it. No consistency.

I'm watching a delayed telecast,

I just saw the ball go into our 50 and as it was going in, a st kilda player behind the pack got pushed over by a richmond player (sorry i forget names).. and the umpire let it go?... I thought that was a push in the back?

Typical fools. Very good decisions but luckily a Saints player never made a mistake.

There was so much inconsistency it wasnt funny - spare us the "your all sainst whingers" line it rubbish.

Ball had his head ripped off? Hayes smashed into AFTER he takes the mark by a man NOT in the contest - not paid.

I could not give a toss about the free kicks but it certainly does appear guys like Gehrig need to have their clothes ripped off to get one....and Ball has no head...

Thanks for the one eye. I will hand you the other next week.

The one rule we never get paid consistently to us is the advantage rule.

At least twice tonight we were given a free and were away and running (continuous - as it should be) but the umpire decided to call it back. One even went through for a goal.

Richmond seemed to always get the advantage call.

Maybe this is something the club should clarify with the Geish!

I have little time for whinging sainters and am a firm believer that decisions even themselves up over a season but......

This is becoming a bit silly.
It is getting to the point where it seems as if the AFL are actually cheating us. That blocking decision was insane and there has to be the most obvious free (i.e a knee injury to Reiwold or Luke Ball's head ripped from his neck)for an umpire to give us it.
Will probably all go in our favour next round cos Geishen will tell the umps it's all looking too obvious but something is going on I tells ya.

I'm sorry. I really am quite a sane person usually.

I agree we have the third most frees this year. surely we must have the most. What about the time Richo farted surely that was a free to us.

Umpires where pathetic tonight absolutely disgusting obviously got them from down punt road way

Guys, you're all delusional.
Plugger has given the official AFL thoughts on umpiring tonight, and that is that they were very good.

Although TBH it's difficult some times to tell when he is being a belligerant, sarcastic bastard or doing his Monkey-Boy Anderson impressions.

I'm pretty sure it's the Monkey-Boy impression in this thread.

desertsaint · Sun 04 May 2008 1:14am

the umpiring is a massive problem in afl - 3 prima donas (oops - 2 more years of bitter umpires) with their own interpretations who have never played at a decent level. and to make it worse the afl mikes them - why?

I'll put this one in the thread with the other 2 of losing the game to Freo and bakes getting 7 weeks. This is now the 3rd thread comparing every game umpired to tonight and how much they cheated against us.
