Milney's act

derby Street · Sun 07 Sep 2008 7:19pm

If Milney cost a goal for that soft crap why didn't they (p#icks trying to umpire the game) award another free shot at goal kick when Blake gave a bigger shove after Johnson courageously

kicked the freebie !

milney gets crucified time and time again

should have had an in the back in the first minute or so against scarlett (even dennis cometti thought so)

he is like about 6 other players in the comp who always get the bad decisions

Because who ever Blake shoved didnt over exaggerate and if he did the umpire didnt fall for it

Meh, moving on.. was hardly the biggest worry/disappointment to come out of the game lol
We've got bigger fish to fry against the Pies

Although i am already feeling that i will be cussing the umpires as well this time next week

Bigmart was probably clapping the umpires decision and cheering Johnsons' goal. I feel an agenda coming on...

I don;t have a problem with that free being paid. Sj had his back to Milne. No idea the hit was coming. Got him right in the kidneys - I don;t think he acted particularly. I think what Milne did is a pretty pointless part of the game at the best of times, and it is one thing to do it when the target sees you coming (and a free doesn;t get paid on those occasions typically) but when the guy has his back to you, well that is just plain stupid.

Rubbish free kick..was right in front of me..

SJ fealt minor contact and went into acting mode...which the umpire duly and WRONGLY rewarded.

BigMart · Post: # 637970Post **BigMart** » Sun 07 Sep 2008 8:44pm

Took a lot of courage - what milney did

...... would you accept that if you were coach....putting youself in front of the team...

I have played the game Fireman.....a lot....and at a fair level.....never had to do that though......I tried to knock people over IN PLAY....and I am not big on hitting people who have their back turned...

It was weak as piss!!!!!!

Looked weak, was undisciplined........did he need to do it!!!!!

It will be HIGHLIGHTED by the match committe.....

Blake was well within his rights to hold his ground when SJ ran at him.....max gave away a 50, at Full pace trying to spoil....

he didnt do anything even remotely worthy of a free kick.....the mistake falls at the feet of the umpire.

Agree bad decision but didnt mean anything at all in the context of the game.

Notice that when Milney goaled not one Saints teammate went near him to congratulate him. They were pi5sed with him also. Bigger crime was going missing when it matters.

Do you actually know what the difference in the score was at that time.

We need Guerra back to run through that prick Johnson. Great footballer, but a prick actor/diver.

exactly.......a post from a non Milne fan, self confessed. Agendas come out at times like this.
were they expected to do cartwheels and high fives when we were 10 goals down? would they have done that if say Gram goaled? get real.

Possible over reaction here BigMart, much like the umpire, much like Johnson. Have a good look at it again, including the lead up. The only one highlighting this will be the umpire's advisor.

Ross Lyon will have bigger and more important things to HIGHLIGHT than this almost irrelevent incident.

Stupid act, one that's repeated quite often as a point-scoring exercise after a goal by many of those in defence.

Not worth a free though IMO - and hasn't been in the other 179 games played this year.

But a foolish act nevertheless.

Not such a foolish act by Milne but an "over reaction by the ump" Christ! what a load of crap, it's a frigging final for christ sake!! I was screaming for him to do a lot worst than that....too bloody soft..this Shyte

BigMart · Post: # 638024Post **BigMart** » Sun 07 Sep 2008 9:04pm

Did he elbow him in the middle of the back??????

Would love to see everyone reaction here (as one eyed as everyone is - HD)....if Millburn did that to Harvey in the GS.....come on - be HONEST!!!

answer these questions

was it,
in the back?
in play?
needed?
courageous?

How many yes???......

at least when he F***s up trying to play on and is caught or does not pass and misses a goal - it is a positive selfish......this was showing NO regard to the efforts of Lenny, Sam, Max, Harves, Blake...etc who bust their guts

doristhesaint · Sun 07 Sep 2008 9:12pm

Bull***t free but thats the least of our problems at the moment unfortunley.

It was just a bit of remonstrating (spelling??), you see that every game, come on admit it, there was nothing in it. If Milne misses next week for that, then I need to give the whole thing up because I thought I followed a different game

Either way, Steve Johnson will drink to that

milnes been awesome recently and played well in a poor team today!

Bernard Shakey · Sun 07 Sep 2008 9:50pm

Too many umpires think they are the stars.

Just another example of an umpires ego getting out of control.

Umpire in the spirit of the game you morons. Too many on the field these days. Bring back Jeff Crouch.

MadSaintFan · Sun 07 Sep 2008 9:54pm

anyone who believes that was worthy of a free kick (after a goal) can stick it right up them!

what an absolutely horrendous umpring decision in a final.

fair call Mline shouldnt have been so stupid, but comon, what is our game coming too FFS.

Mooksy · Post: # 638191Post **Mooksy** » Sun 07 Sep 2008 10:04pm

This was the worst free kick given all year. An absolute joke and to hang Milney for it is ridiculous.
