There was a hilarious moment in the NFL where someone faked an official's whistle on a punt and the punting team's line relaxed. Resulted in a blocked punt.

The free to Garry Ablett which went completely how the game was being umpired was also game breaking awarding Geelong a goal.
the players were telling him the siren had gone, and he chose to ignore it and proceed whereas he just needed to spend a couple of seconds to confirm (with the clock stopped).
do you know if it was a player or fan who faked the whistle?
Has there ever been a documented case in the history of football at any level where the players have successfully conned the umpire into believing the match was over due to the siren sounding?
Didn't think so. Umpire Nicholls' distrust of a dozen Fremantle players to ignore them and bounce the ball, rather than investigate their claim that the siren had sounded, is the single worst thing an umpire has done in the AFL era.
The one were Gilbert had both arms around him stopping him from leading in the 2nd quarter?
He was actually in the right.
The rule says (Rule 10.4.1 for those who have no idea): The timekeepers shall sound the siren to signal the end of a quarter UNTIL a field umpire acknowledges that the siren has been heard and brings play yo an end.
Further in rule 10.4.2 Play in each quarter shall come to an end when any one of the field umpires or emergency field umpire/s hears the siren.
Therefore Nicholls was actually correct in applying the rule.
When a player has no awareness, has the ball 15m out from the opposition's goal, gets tackled legally and drops it like it's hot and it gets called play on thn that's pretty hard to take.
I'm not talking contentious ones - but super blatant that dont get paid because they've gone too far in 'Putting the whistle away'.
Ha ha - perhaps umpires should be checked pre-game for any wax-build up in their ears in the same vein they check on players' fingernails, boots, etc!!
17 minute mark mate!
Hardly dying seconds...
...and yeah it was out
Premature call for this thread.Rioli mark?
Rivers kicks out on the full?
The simple response to that is tough shit.
That is the rule so bloody well put up with it.
Was one eyed tonight but when they went to the centre for a bounce then decided to review the goal
That IS cheating
But is there a limit on time ?
Collingwood vs north. 2 shit centre bounces that weren't called back gives north 2 centre bounces and 2 goals to win the game.
I remember the Collingwood-West Coast final last year when Krakouer's goal was called back from the box and then they overruled the on-field call with minimal evidence - that was probably the worst case of soemthing like that happening.Same thing happened in the North vs Geelong (2nd match) earlier this year - Vardy kicked a goal, ball comes back to the center but then play stops before the score reviewer wanted to have a 2nd look at it. As with tonight, it stood as a goal.
The score reviewer is allowed to ask to review the footage - not cheating.
