Why do we keep getting the bald headed cheat?

We've had him the last 3 weeks, or has it been 4? Anyway, never gives us a fair crack - already he's paid 3 frees all to the kangas and chose to ignore Thornton being held so he couldn't get to the contest to spoil Warren.

****. NO that's not the f-word, it's the other one. :mad:


If they win by less than a goal there has to be an investigation into the ****en rough end of the pineapple we are continually ****ed up the arse with. :mad:

And that is what I'm worried about...a game where we lose by less then a goal.

How do we go about actually doing this? Because seriously, enough is enough

The guys in charge need to man up, and take a page out of Eddie McGuire's book. Actually say something in the media, we have the money to pay a fine.
 
I agree, you guys got shafted...and in a game where the decisions would influence the result too...shit effort by the umpires

He definitely favours teams we have played against . Dont know if its cause he is in front of other teams supporters but its so obvious . The Carlton game was even worse I thought when it was like he was doing everything in his power to help them .
 
I have no issue with everybodys views about McBurney but we did beat him and Carlton 3 weeks ago. We lost today not because of the umpires but because we played pish football for three quarters.

Pretty much.

Stop complaining. Umpires or no umpires, our own players lost this game.
 
The umps we pathetic today. I am never one to say the umps this or that but bloody hell, there we some decisions made today that we just embarressing to the game of AFL.
 
Now I understand why the Roos struggle to pull a crowd - it's because 3 of their 20 supporters are out on the ground wearing yellow and another 3 are sitting in the commentary box.

Mcburney should not umpire another Dockers game. He is a muppet and we all know it. Head to advanced hair buddy and take those other tools with you.

He shouldn't umpire another game, period! You guys were robbed today. I don't usually take much notice of umpires when Hawthorn aren't involved, but today rhey were so bad, I have to symparhise with you. The one right on half time was just disgusting, and could have had a bearing on the result as it hit the players hard.

Our free kicks at Subiaco 128(25.6 ave) for 124(24.8 ave) against.
Ratio 1 : 1 in 5 games

Our free kicks over there 59(14.75 ave) for 88(22 ave) against .
Ratio 1 : 1.5 in 4 games

I think its not so much that the other teams get more free kicks than average when we play over there . Rather it seems like they tend to give us less . They turn a blind eye to frees that other teams are given . ********!
 
I'd just like to say that this is getting beyond a joke. I will acknowledge that we had our chances and should've taken them better but...................................

McBurney is an absolute w***er. The guy clearly doesn't like us and Mark Harvey has already complained about our treatment on the road to Jeff Gieschen. As the umpiring department and umpires are bigger than the game, they refuse to listen to us and the same thing occurs.

I'm sorry, McBurney should not umpire another Freo game full stop until he can get over whatever it is that bothers him about us
 
Agree that Freo didnt take the most of their opportunities but it should be an even playing field.

Disgusting umpiring. That free kick before half time changed the complexion of the match. Then in the last I think it was McFarlane who was on a lead and was clearly pulled backward but nothing doing. So many similar instances where free kicks weren't paid to Freo. Very difficult when you have to battle the umps as well as the opposition.

Something I always mention about the umps was what Wayne Carey said:"If they don't like you, the 50-50's will go against you." How many times does Solomon go near an opposition player and have a free paid against him. But to get a free he has to nearly have his head taken off. There are some clubs they just don't like - ie Freo, Hawthorn and then some clubs they do like - Geelong.
