Time to lock this thread. Just pointless dribble now.

Just "now"?

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Just "now"?

Yep. I stopped caring days ago, you should too.

 

[BEaston]

Yeah, sorry, the armchair ride we got and squandered actually wasn't there at all, we were just first to the ball even though we weren't, Geelong's tackling technique is just awful, that Scott Thompson is a shithouse midfielder for the Cats. Is that any better?

Just because you guys collectively shit the bed all week doesn't mean I have to when the shoe is on the other foot.

HAHA!! My god, I hope you're not serious. Looked on the Adelaide board lately???

Umpiring was shocking again last night and Geelong would have a right to be pissed off.

 

[DangerSloane]

We did?

It was crows supporters who continually cried, and then when that wasn't enough just resorted to insulting the Bulldogs' history

I'd be more insulting the trophy cabinet.

Chris Scott painted himself into a corner with his remarks about Bevo on 360 last week. His comments will be interesting.

He got the win, why would he complain?

Bevo is a hypocrite down and dirty.

I didn't say that he would complain.....but I'm sure that someone will ask him about it.

for someone who has supposedly moved on, you haven't got very far

 

[DangerSloane]

for someone who has supposedly moved on, you haven't got very far

huh? Moved on from what?
Dangerfield, yes.
Umpires last week, yes.

However your coach is still currently a whining hypocrite. Currently. In the now.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Geelong's certainly should. Another terrible performance by the umpires, this time in our favour.

Until the AFL get serious about making umpires full time, this is apparently the standard we can expect. Pathetic.

They always do this and it only makes them look like even bigger amateurs. I just wish they would call the games evenly. I'd happily take less free kicks at home if it meant we didn't get totally reamed every time we go to Melbourne. Why can't the umpires call the game objectively? The roar of home ground supporters shouldn't have any influence whatsoever.

As a matter of interest did you think you got reamed in round one in Melbourne?

It was a while back, but from memory we got an armchair ride in the first half and then you guys got one in the second half... does that sound right?

From memory was the classic "whoops, free kicks aren't very even at half time! Better find some square-ups!" situation.

Not to the same extent as the Bulldogs or Hawks game. There we're some annoying ones in the second half but we we're our own worst enemies in that game.

 

[ManOfClay]

Lol. Umpiring Bulldogs tomorrow

 

[Wayne Dwop]

Lol. Umpiring Bulldogs tomorrow

That should take care of Home Ground Advantage then. Bonus!!

 

[cmndstab]

Stroke of genius by the AFL allowing him to umpire the match against the one team no Crows fans will complain about getting screwed too

 

[Big Wilbur]

Proof yesterday that the free kick count can be really lopsided without a heap of blatant errors.

Fair call. IIRC the only decision I hated was the free against Picken after he took a mark in the last quarter

 

[ziad]

he has the face of a mentally disturbed person

 

[Kram]

I've always thought he was one of the worst umps but maybe you just notice him more because he has a face like a pie smashed on concrete.

I reckon if you had a time machine and went forward 50 years people would be complaining about them just as much as they do now. Yes it's frustrating as heck sometimes with them but it's a prick of a game to umpire, so many rules are interpretive and it's so quick.
