Royal Inquiry

[Linton Street Saint]

How do I go about starting one in regards to the second half umpiring ?

Seriously they put the NSW police force in the 80's to shame.

[lurker#134]

I actually think we should be thanking the umpires myself....

[bigred]

3rd quarter in particular.

However.

We just rise above that f****** circus.

You have to be joking ? your right I should probably thank them for actually paying the most blatant in the back ever, .... And then no 50 for playing on after the whistle and letting Mooney mouth off at the umpire for 5mins without 50m ....

[degruch]

Because they ignored the biggest shove in the back in the history of the game to give SJ a goal? Or because Dawson's hand looks like a Geelong boot? Or because running unimpeded into a Saints player equals too high? Seriously, we'd have won by 4 goals if they had been watching SJ like Fishlips had requested.

Well, they could have as easily NOT paid it. We won.

Shouldn't have mattered...then we would have won by 3 goals. I'm not thanking those tools for nearly derailing the game.

[stinger]

we won...those cheating maggots can suck s***......probably two of them thought that they all had their money on the cats.....didn't realise one of their number had a bet on the side on the saints.......

a lamentable performance, not to mention incompetent. they're just following orders from the top, of course.

[bigcarl]

sheer incompetence.

[ausfatcat]

I think overall the umpiring was fair and even

[BakesFan]

Second half umpiring was DISGRACEFUL !!!!!!!!!

Too many to mention!!.... How Gilbo was called for holding the ball when he'd barely taken possession is beyond me...

The Cats were GIFTED at least two shots at goal!!!!.... then add Zac's touch which was called a goal; and I was having flashbacks to Hawkins' GF 'goal'.....

Not that it matters... the Saints are through to the PRELIM...this year is ours to lose..... as long as the MAGGOTS call it consistently.

[Fidelis]

My feeling at the game was that the umpiring went through a subtle shift when we got 5 goals up. I think this often happens when one side clears out. There's an innocent but discernable change to begin paying the 50/50 calls to the team who are behind. Part of the great Aussie egalitarian tradition.

[plugger66]

Very good umpiring all night except for a goal umpiring error.

[Enrico_Misso]

I'm speechless

[wasaintsfan]

to be fair umpiring was good tonight

the goal ump error was defo

and a couple of little errors handed them goals

BUT they also let a few go that couldve given them goals

so all in all the correct result in the end is all that matters

[Winmar]

When exactly did the goal that wasn't for Mooney occur i.e. what minute?

[Griggsy]

umps were fine up until it started raining. More scraps for the ball in the rain and Geelong seemed to find a lot of frees in those scraps.
