Scott Mclaren - give yourself an uppercut
Hey we won, no point bagging the umps - but seriously - Mclaren stooped to a new low of corruptness tonight. Some of the decisions he made to gift the pies goals were downright embarrasing.

I actually thought he had a reasonable game last week. But tonight he reconfirmed what I have previously said about him on any number of occasions:
He is the most inept official I have seen in any professional sport.

c'mon plugger - yes regarding umpiring decisions you are often a voice of reason - but it's therapeutic to bag them - helps release some of the tension the "white can'ts'" (aidy mcadams words, not mine) poorer decisions build in us. And there were quite a few!plugger66 wrote:Yep they wanted Collingwood to win. They are cheats but didnt cheat enough. Andrew will be upset.
I just wish our commentators were more open and honest in their appraisal of the umpires - watch a rugby union international and you'll see what i mean.

the guy has never debated the point... is just a sarcastic moron....
The umpiring was very poor but didn't effect the outcome.....
but ignore this thread because according to some we only bitch about the umpires when we lose.......
anyone got any idea what the couple of frees against kosi and roo in the forward pocket were for???

I agree, Dimwit would have much preferred Collingwood versus Hawthorn next week but St Kilda played too well. If McLaren had make it happen it would have been too obvious forcing the press to expose the conspiracy.

That was a joke.desertsaint wrote:Who was the moronic umpire that blew us a free and called it back just as CJ was running unopposed into the 50, claiming 'no advantage'?
(some may say he knows his footballers well)
He had the ball 50 out, no one was within 20m of him and the umpire called 'no advantage'.
