Raw Deal on Riewoldt
I felt tonight that Riewoldt was very harshly done by by the umpires. The Swans ganges up on him the whole game n he constantly had more than one player markin him n he was chopped n pushed n everything...i dont want to whings but it just seemed to be becomin a joke....mind you to be fair we weren't good enough anyway... i still feel we can bounce back

Not much has changed since 2007

Truly amazing research Sainter-Dad, and the point is?
Old enough to repaint, but young enough to sell

The more things change the more they stay the same.
- Riewoldt getting a raw deal
- Saints fans complaining about the umpiring
- Swans playing 2 on 1 (although we helped this by playing a spare backman)
- Too many threads on Umpiring
- Saints not good enough when the chips were down (Pun half intended)
Just thought it co-incidental.
Not great research though - just happened to go to page 699 and look at 3 threads from that time and up pops this chestnut!

Re: Raw Deal on Riewoldt
There is another thread about Watters' comments on Shitney blocking. Do we need anothee thread? Seriously

Re: Raw Deal on Riewoldt
Don't think we can complain about umpiring and Rewoildt over the journey. In the past,without doubt no other saint has got a better run from the umps. If Lockett was afforded the luxury Rewoildt got from the umps he would of kicked 200 a year,seriously
Bring back the Lockett era

Re: Raw Deal on Riewoldt
It's our own fault if we don't have another two decent forwards to take the heat off reiwoldt. Maister out didn't help and lee is still learning and looks unfit.

Does anyone realize that the OP and the next two posts were from 2007?
