The inevitable umpire thread

[STP18]

Well, uh, that's just footy.




That's what we're supposed to say when we win the count right?

I thought all our free kicks were there, but did miss a few for GWS.... shit happens

I thought we could have received a couple of delberates, but our hard work paid off. Not saying that I expect a free kick count like this every game, but I think that tonight both teams seemed to understand the way the match was being officiated.

Haven't seen the count for last night but again it was the ones that were and were not paid and the inconsistencies that continue to annoy. The worst of last night, and possibly of several games, was in the last 1/4 when Caddy was penalised for a deliberate out of bounds. He was going for the ball, which was on the ground, and several times kicked at whilst all the time being held and held and held. One of the oldest penalties in this game is holding the man without the ball. Yet in this stupid modern game it becomes a penalty against the player trying to make the play because the ball is near the boundary line and goes over.
