Roast Umpires thread

[Tigersfan35]

And you would normally be 100% correct.
However, without that decision we legitamely scored 76 points to 72.
FACT

I do accept that and I was blaming the descion on 3 quater time for our loss but we played so badly that I think its a bit flogging to blame umpiring for the loss.

 

[Noseybonk]

Toeing the party line.

Hardwick,you could tell was fuming inside over the third quarter time decision but they have their arms tied,umpires are allowed to rort the system,players are bagged when under scrutiny.

Sorry,but that's double standards by the AFL.

Its complete bullshit. No matter how bad an umpires performance is they can never be criticised.

Why does Hardwick or the club not make a stand.
What would we have to lose if we are getting as reamed as badly as you keep protesting?
Ever thought Hardwick may have agreed with the Jack decision.
If it was that diabolical, why does Hardwick continue to crack one-liners and crack jokes, instead of doing what the Scott brothers do, what Beveridge has done and what Buckley and Lyon have done and question the umpires.
If there is something amiss than there is less leadership in the coaching box than we saw in the last 20 seconds on-field on Sunday and for the majority of the contest.
Some commentators did ... and not because the AFL slipped them $1000 to stay quiet.
UMPIRES DO NOT RORT THE SYSTEM, THEY DO THEIR BEST AND CAN BE WRONG AT TIMES. IT'S NOT A CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE TIGERS!
Give me proof umpires are on the take, or specifically are advised to screw Richmond?

Who says?
The umpires have been criticised in the past and always will be ... by coaches, players.
So what if Hardwick gets a $1000 fine .... if it;'s an issue speak out!

No one is disagreeing that we were poor for three quarters.
Most are bemoaning the fact that we rarely get the rub of the green.

Spot on. Just more blatant examples to add to a long list of staggering decisions this year

No plenty are blaming the umpires directly for the loss!!

As is their right.
Strong argument for it as well.
Any arguments against it should be left to supporters of other teams.
IMHO, of course.

There is no way in hell he agreed with that rort,Richo and Greeners said it was the worst decision since 1967 and Richo then said umpires just don't pay those.

Sending more roses to you.

It was a terrible decision. I have never seen that decision paid in the goal square. Isn't it good play to shepherd the ball through?

The other decision I hated from that 3rd qtr was the chase down and tackle in our forward 50 where it was called too high. I haven't seen a replay of it since, but at the ground it looked like the perfect tackle.

Every coach would be rapt with that legal pressure,the umpire rorted us no question.

 

[Tiger Toffee]

Now back to RFC supporters, they are allowed to feel aggrieved, we did get a sh*t run from the umpires two weeks in a row, and both game it could be said that we would have won if a couple of INCORRECT calls weren't paid against us. As as passionate supporters they realise that thos two results could end they unlikely event of us playing finals, given the closeness of the season. That in itself is upsetting.

Good write up but why is it unlikely we play finals.

So you just disproved your own theory that the media shuts up about these incidents.
Last time I checked Richo was a media person.

In what should've led to a potential Richmond goal led to a Fremantle goal direct from that wrong call.

3rd qtr free kicks last 2 games----- Richmond 3 opposition 14 no surprise that both dogs and freo got momentum in those qtrs, scores tigers 2.5 to 8.10

rest of game free kicks Richmond 26 opposition 28, scores Richmond 19.10 to 13.16

 

[Goldust]

Glad - for once - the opposition supporters have stayed out of a Tigers thread.
Embarrassing stuff here.

That's exactly what happened. It went straight up the other end for a goal.
Not sure what the ump actually saw to call that too high. Wasn't going to pay the holding the ball decision either.

Well, actually, if that decision was different we could have scored anything from 50 points to 150 points. It could have changed the mental factor, player positions, game plan etc.

IT'S an AFL conspiracy Groupie that I am even involved in this thread.

It's worse than the old "if we kicked straight we would have won" saying.

Exactly, we looked like we just starting to get the game back on our terms when that decision was paid. So frustrating...

We always find a way in the wash-up to give ourselves comfort and hope, but the best way to do it will always be on the ground and the scoreboard!

Even Eddie McChins was going off about that call on the commentary. At first he said he couldnt believe they were going to bring Dusty back to give Edwards the free kick why werent they just calling play on, then when Freo got the free kick all the comentators couldnt belive it they showed a replay and no one could even work out what it was given for.

Well, actually, it probably wouldn't have.
You really think that 30 to 24 points would have made a difference to both teams mindset?

What may have changed was the mindset of both teams when our penultimate goal put us in front.
We'll never know.
