The last game of Razor Ray's career

[MF]

Can't help but laugh at the Essendon supporters running straight in to continue sooking about 2 free kicks from 15 weeks ago.

 

[Robbo2003]

Still a throw.

I know but they aren't consistent with paying it.

 

[Dangas]

THIS. It shouldn't matter who you support, what happened today, regardless of what team it happened to was beyond a joke. The throw was there (as they often ejudicate a tap as a throw whilst being tackled i.e. illegal disposal) but you'd have to be blind by saying the umpiring had no effect on the game. Sydney copped it and copped it bad. This should not be happening in our game to any team, regardless of your feelings for them. If teams were reversed i'd be saying the same thing. What happened today was bad for the game, and as someone said previously, the fact that Ray has the "Razor" nickname is a problem.

Could it be just hatred for the Shockers?

 

[SirJimi05]

This Sydney supporter sums it up pretty well.

Gee that must SUCK, I wonder what it's like to lose a game of umpiring?

Have a whinge guys, somedays you get the good, somedays you get the bad - unless you all advocate video replay- shut up.

 

[Rabbit of Caerbannog]

Wow, just WOW.

Are you all still that mad.

30-9 free kick count after quarter time.

Winning goal kicked after Hardingham was pinged for a handball.

It's hard to forget. It's also hard to forget your fans rubbing it in without a single admission that you had a good run with the umpires.

 

[Mijhaa]

Terrible umpiring I thought, especially in the third when the majority of the Freo goals seemed to be due to free kicks in one way or another.

I would be extremely frustrated if I were a Swans supporter.

Hit them like a dagger in the heart

 

[Righteo]

OMFG did that just happen. 3 goals resulting from soft free kicks including a 70m penalty

cant believe they ruined a good game

Hahaha you sound like you're about to off yourself. I'm sure our win has probably cancelled out the Saints win last night.

Throw every day of the week and a brilliant call. Just because it's in the last minute or so of a close game doesn't mean it shouldn't be paid

Kennelly's idiotic act was also there every day of the week, looked like a long 50 because that bog is such a ridiculously small ground.

Your tears provide me with valuable nourishment

Yet here you are.

 

[cinderella man]

Umpires make mistakes, better team won on the day, blah blah blah. Suck it up Sydney.

We Essendon supporters know you were robbed today, just like we were robbed in round 2. Have the balls to admit it at least instead of buying your heads in the sand.

You get your head out of your ****. One questionable decision in that rd 2 game which you dominated but werent good enough to put us away.Not 4 qtrs of blatant cheating that took place today.You and your supporter base's reputation as the most insipid bunch of sooks in the competition is very much intact and this thread only confirms it.
Having said that integrity is not a strong point at Windy Hill is it.

Mate, it probably wouldn't if 15 weeks ago we weren't told by every supporters (especially Swans) to get over it.

 

[E Shed]

NO one complaining about the ridiculous free in front of goal where a swans player lowered his head, headbutted Fyfe in the chest and then kicked a goal from the free?

 

[Inspector Malceski]

Please that throw are paid all the time.
A very sweet victory.

On please "that throw are paid all the time"

I seem to recall umpires this year not calling alot of throws when players just get the ball and they make an attempt get the ball going?

I could only hear razor ray talking to players etc, did not even notice the other umpires today

 

[DapperDon]

Can't help but laugh at the Essendon supporters running straight in to continue sooking about 2 free kicks from 15 weeks ago.

What makes the incorrect frees from todays match more important than the incorrect frees from round 2?

Both cost teams victory, both from the same season.

 

[Seadog]

I can't believe they think they got the raw end of the umpiring. The umpires dragged them all the way back into the game. Without their help they wouldn't have been anywhere near us.

When you are getting your arse handed to you on a plate and the umps miss a couple of obvious ones it tends too skew your perspective a bit.
I'd need a fair bit of convincing that Nicoski didn't deserve a free in front of goal in the last qtr but.

Thank you. I still maintain this view if you will see my post earlier in this thread, so quoting me is not excatly the best if you wanted contrasting, conflicting views.

 

[SirJimi05]

Yet here you are.

Just doing my upmost to follow in the footsteps of Sydney supporters in preaching the good word of the umpiring fraternity.

"learn to take the good with the bad" and all that.

 

[Iron Sheik]

Not sooking. Just gloating and pointing out hypocrisy.

Sooking implies being upset. We're all actually laughing our arses off.

 

[Saints_Supporter]

Hopeful not, Ray umpired both grand finals last year. He has quite a high standard. On another note does anyone know why Hayden Kennedy was replaced by the emergency umpire at the game at the Gabba.

 

[Bombers_Forever]

Amazing that the umpires were actually against the Swans for one game in a season, considering the number of games the umpires win for them.

But Razor Ray is doing what he normally does - tries to get his head on TV as much as possible. He will be selected next round, bookmark it.

 

[Inspector Malceski]

What makes the incorrect frees from todays match more important than the incorrect frees from round 2?

clearly alot of bomber supporters have not moved on from round 2!

 

[lionaround]

Umpiring has been terrible this round, any team that plays Geelong will always get the rough end of the stick.

 

[Scootyb]

Look at the Sydney fans coming out with their bibs and dummies (which have all been spat onto the floor)!!!! Jesus, Fremantle poster said it before, massive sense of entitlement, with Goodes beng the poster boy for this.

And Defacto getting all offended because his scumbag Saints aren't gonna make the finals after drawing a Grandy last year!!!

I'm LOVING this, we should get favourable umpiring more often just so i can log on and listen to this shit. SUCK IT UP!

 

[Defacto]

Most Saints supporters have not got over sirengate yet.

replace the word sirengate with the words whispers in the sky

sirengate was a good call, freo deserved that game and they got the points

we got no points for the whispers in the sky game

 

[Dangas]

NO one complaining about the ridiculous free in front of goal where a swans player lowered his head, headbutted Fyfe in the chest and then kicked a goal from the free?

Don't think that LRT free outside 50 was there, did duck his head, but what about the legit ones that were missed?
