F&^& the umpires

That has to be one of the worst 1/4 displays I have seen

As bad as it was, I don't think it quite matched last week's efforts from the maggots. Close, however, very close.






edit: nope, I was wrong. It was just as bad...

 

[Gaspode]

I think my signature line says it all.....

 

[Lach72]

Honestly, wtf have our forwards got to do to get a kick?

 

[Rob]

Umpires have been good today. Best i've seen all year TBH, they've let the game go and haven't paid many soft kicks.

 

[Kram]

Wow. Burton didn't even touch the ball. Un____ing believable.

 

[Philhawk]

How that was't a free kick against Burton, i'll never know.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

I hope there's one of those "least respected profession" surveys coming out. I want to rank the whole ****ing lot of them below concentration camp guards.

 

[Cameron_K]

How f**ken pathetic was that non decision that resulted in a goal to McLeod.

If Harvey doesn't come out attacking the pathetic display today I will lose respect for the club.

 

[Frigate]

F$%^ S&*4 magg$#@! Pricks fuc*^%$ bastardos

WTF WTF WTF

So many rough calls. We got murdered by the pri$ks.

 

[Lach72]

I have never been so shit wild as now

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Doughty in the back on farmer = ignored
Crowley in the back on Van Berlo? = 50!!!

**** the lot of them. Scum.

 

[Cameron_K]

What about Dodd being tripped by Burton and not even getting a free. You can see Dodd turn to the umpire as say he was suspended for the exact same thing.

 

[Frigate]

They got a goal from that weak decision on Crowley. Goal result.

Crowley got completely mauled in the back nothing. No free kick against Burton with that fly - result a goal.

Farmer in the back - nothing expectd though.

At the end paying that mark to Burton was a joke.

There was more, many more.

Freo had it fair rough by the umps 2day, but their own mistakes cost them dearly aswell.

I kinda felt the same way after the 3rd quarter performance by the umps in the derby the other week, definately think they helped you guys win yours for the season.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Whilst we're on the subject of tripping, Bravo to the genuis who gifted a goal to Thompson. I never realise the opposing team could be penalised for a player tripping over his own feet!

 

[Bibra]

I'm very thankful that my tv has a tough screen because I punched it a few times. I'm losing interest in AFL altogether because of this kind of bu11shit.

 

[Arcadion]

Farmer copping it in the back in that last qtr. That so called hold in the pocket, the free paid down field for whatever reason. You guys got screwed.

Hi Nanna.

 

[bjuggles]

we copped some rough decisions but instead of worring about that i think a greater concern would be the skill levels and decissions making of players like schammer.

By gee, I spoke way, way too early there.

 

[Gaspode]

Wow that last decision really summed up the umpires calls today. We spin a play 180 degrees - we get calledthrowing the player. One of them holding a ball over 360 degrees - and it's not called. Tripping calls, some were 50 50, see one of their players lifting the leg until he falls over and it's not called.

Farmer would need someone to come out with a tank to shoot him, and you may get a call.

Really they had a shocker - and when it's that close again (without our poor start) and that game so easily could of gone the other way.

Umpires need a red card system from the players.

 

[Alfonz]

I got the impression it was the old case of trying to even up the tally, even if the umpires do it subconsciously I'm sure they do it. Apart from Palmer's mark on the line, we got a fairly good run in the first 2-3 quarters, reflected by the free kick count of 22-14 in our favour.

But enter quarter 4 ... and f*&^% me if that wasn't the most one sided display of umpiring I've ever seen. Maybe didn't deserve to be so close, but take that quarter in isolation and umpires definitely cost us the game. The one that takes the cake is Burton's "mark". Game was over, but ump was standing in the perfect position 5m away and still pays it.

 

[Gaspode]

I'm waiting for the call to the video umpire now. Why bother turning up when you're going to get stuffed up the rectal pipe from the umpires. Feel sorry for the boys trying to sit down on the flight home....

 

[Roy Fitzlion]

As a neutral footballl follower just watching another game of football, I thought that the umpires gave Freo a very raw deal in the first quarter, so much so that I switched over to Geel V Swans. Sounds like the rest of the match was the same old stuff.

I don't know if it is a Freo thing or just the out of state side getting a raw deal. Did not look good though!
