hahaha well i rekon mclaren is a better candidate but be better if we had both of them. I would almost be 100% sure they went through a review process after that game and would be eager not to make the same mistakes. Perhaps even in their need they will award some paypack goals for us. :p
 
We can't do anything about the umpires, so why concern ourselves with them?

If we play to our ability and minimise the lethargy & errors that cost us last week, then the umpires will be irrelevant.

This whole thing will certainly lead to some umpiring in our favour this week.

Unfortunately its in a game when we wont need it and by the cats next week will be back to normal. Tilts me
 
Watch the Road to Victory DVD about the 1990 premiership season.

The goal ump with the black moustache has got to be a Pies supporter. He's grinning every time we get a goal, and looks grimwhen the opposition scores.


ahahaha if true thats hillarious! i rekon in the past there have definatley been some passionate supporters who become umpires and gave a few decisions to their team for the hell of it!
 
At least this week we have one "proper" umpire.

Last week I had never heard of all 3 of the field umpires, and their lack of experience under pressure showed.

At least you know what you are going to get from Mclaren, he will control the game, basically making the other umpires obselete, and will over umpire, paying any little jumper pull, slap on the arms etc.

McLaren is the umpire who over umpires the most, but watching him in the NAB Cup, he is hardly ever wrong with his decisions, it's just that he pays one hell of a lot of free kicks.

But then again, if we lose to Melbourne, we cant blame the umpires this week, we can only blame our players/coaches.

LOL, I thought exactly the same thing. No Schmitt might mean that I can enjoy this week's game, at least.

I have watched it many times, it's great. Unfortunately the closest thing I've come to experiencing a real premiership:(

I think I've lost it now:(

Hahahah! I noticed that years ago.
The happiest goal ump I've ever seen, well noticed.
Great DVD.
 
Geez, isn't there any more important game than ours this week that McClaren could umpire and screw up?

Do the AFL randomly allocate umpires to games or do they allocate "better" (loose term) umpires for bigger games? If you go on probability with umpires doing one game a week and 8 games a week, you should only get the same umpire 2 or 3 times a year randomly. Last year we would have had McClaren 6 or so times.

The 2 worst pricks are Schitt and Vozzo the Bozzo. :mad: They always crucify us.

I am not a fan of McLaren. He's just a dopey prick, but the 2 mentioned above are malicious. They always rape Collingwood. Nicholls wasn't far behind them last week either. :rolleyes:
