The reason we lost

[saintsrfreak]

Absolute joke.

 

[spenze]

To be honest, I'm don't like the Saints ( think Roo is an absolute star) and even I think you guys got shafted by the umps

I dont normally blame umpires but this is the thread of the year.

 

[Manimal_Dunstan]

Joey's miss hurt us big time considering he had two players over the top.

 

[market]

So bad....just so inconsistent....pay high, don't pay high...whatever just do it the same for both teams...

 

[Danog]

You got shafted by the umpires, but they weren't responsible for Montagna not handballing over the top, or Maister falling over for no reason.

Those were two incidents. The umpiring went on ALL GAME.

 

[Kildonan]

We had plenty of opportunities to seal the match, but the poor umpiring did ensure that our chances were reduced.

I am seething - all we ask for is a level playing field.

This match was decided by the umpiring decisions, much like the Richmond match earlier this year.

The AFL is simply corrupt

The umpires seem to have controlled the outcome of this match It is strongly suspicious and the obvious question is how much of a cut they get from the bookies

While we're at it lets award Essendon the premiership now. They cheated the hardest.

I really feel for the Saints fans there tonight. Mainly because after seeing such a horrid display of umpiring, they were forced to listen to the worst AFL club song in the league. If the Eagles can pay off the umpires like they did tonight, surely they can find someone to write them a song that isn't total shite.

Hi guys, I love reading all your posts and thought that maybe it was time to dip my toe into the water and start writing. I really wanted to write about what I enjoy about being a Saints supporter, the merits of playing youth and the wisdom being shared by our experienced players (oops Joey). How after some fabulous years at the top we might look forward to some top draft picks. But seriously....the umpires...how they can walk off the field, pat themselves on the back and say "Job well done". Words fail me. The West Coast players should be embarrassed to sing their club song without inviting tonight's umpires into their circle.

11.14 was just a terrible conversion rate, given where the shots were taken.
It wasn't JUST Montagna's miss.

 

[Tetley Tigers]

The umpires always love the Eagles but you lost because you missed three shots in the last 5 minutes.

 

[yakka man]

I feel for ya. I really wanted you to win, and you deserved too.

West Coast are a blight on the game and you played far better. They have perfected the art of ducking, acting, holding and milking free kicks. They are a disgrace to watch.

But you guys showed some good signs.

This. We choked!!

Yep I agree if we had converted those chances it would not have mattered that the umpiring was bad.

 

[Chief Ten Beers]

Can't stand the Cheats. Bunch of acting soccer prima donnas.

 

[Rors]

I'm still in shock from the decision not to reward Riewodlt's tackle on Shuey in the pocket during the first quarter. The guy takes 7 steps, baulks a player then gets crunched by Roo without getting his foot to the ball...

From this moment on, I knew we were going to be f*^%ed on

 

[yakka man]

I'm not real bright

Tell me about it.

It is upsetting that your club is bringing our game into disrepute. ****ing oath

The better team didn't win. The umps got you over the line again.

Excellent post, keep them coming..!!

 

[salim malik]

Never posted on an opposition board before and this wont help how you all feel but just had to say that ump performance was about as bad as it gets .The Sainters were ROBBED

 

[Cro19]

At this point would prefer the next rule change be scrap the field umpires.

 

[DonDynamite]

I can't believe the crap you guys copped from the filthy lime greens, especially in the last 10 minutes. Saints deserved the win tonight.

 

[StingBitten]

Why is nobody talking about the last free kick to the Eagles?

Just before your player (name escapes me) was pinged for holding the ball he was high tackled by two eagles players, what a ****ing joke!

Not going to say it cost us, but it must MUST be reviewed this week.

34 more tackles with no reward for effort, fine....the whistle has been put away, so I'll stomach it.

Yet the whistle makes a sudden appearance in the last?

That was hard to watch, it was NOT umpired in the last in the manner it had been the previous 3 quarters.

 

[TheWeapon]

You were robbed West Coast are an embarrassment to the competition
