I say:
We do have talent, year in year out (people tell me this all the time and are perplexed at why we don't win), but we don't win. Why? Answer - it's the f#$%king umpires. I'm sooo sick of it.

"The umpires hate Richmond and they give us a raw deal every week of every year, now sure everyone in the competition says that, but that's actually the reality of the numbers that it has happened to us."

I ask:
"WHY?"

Open for debate.....conspiracy theories welcome.

Is that an umpire? Maybe the car should be yellow and black since they keep f#$%ing us up the @r$e.

 

[beaver's army]

yea What was with that holding the ball against hyde as soon as he got a handball recieve? I was perplex how richo was held so often yet only got a free once for it, and chopping the arms when a richmond player did a legit spoil. Also how soft was roccas 50 he just fell down as if hit by a truck.

The consistancy is never on our side.

That photo was taken outside the G tonight at about 6:15, he actually umpired the game. The car was a Richmond members

Last year Richmond were 16th for frees for.

Who is the head of umpires again?

We pissed somebody off. Ex-coach perhaps.

conspiracy theory #23-67ab = tigerheads will go to games and cop the shit from umpires. AFL thinks, ok, you fools still go and we keep shafting, the crowd stats will flucuate slightly but still be good. Now flip to say the bullies, they go from 3 and a dog to a dog if that same thing occurs. Lets just say it is a business and what makes business counts.

Wasn't in the marking contest fifity every time, and richo was grapping presti like he was $5 dollar hooker as well, the umpires had nothing to do with we put on pressure you guys cracked and went back to being the little schoolgirl bascketball team you guys and kevin sheedy said they were.

Stop making excuses like umpires cause you guys got the rub of the green in the first half andsee that your Messaih Wallace has made some mistakes and you are no better from the spud days.

Ive sid the same thing to collingwood supporters before Umpires might be shit but it isnt an excuse to lose by four goals after leading by 25 points

They were ****ing shit last night, the umpires. Have they thrown the legging rule out the window?!!? 2 weeks in a row we got ****ed in the arse by shit umpiring decisions with regard to tripping. The holding the ball against Hyde was a disgrace. Should have been in the back. Ive stopped abusing umpires at the game because **** me it really doesnt make a difference and i cant speak after the game cos ive lost my voice. **** the umpires are so ****ing ******edly shit.

 

[beaver's army]

so you saw the umpiring being pretty fair last night did you?

since when arent you allowed to use your body in a marking contest, presti was killed everytime, and all he could do was hold onto richos arm all night.

 

[roostertalk]

definitely got a raw deal last night but still deserved to lose. That holding the ball against tivendale before half time was the worst decision i have seen this year, lucky rocca missed everything.

The umpire forgot about the in the back rule with us at least 5 times in the match, i almost had a heart attack when we got one, and if Presti was killed so badly by richo why didint you win ah thats right your so called great richo kiked 3-4 and one out on the full, Bowden now that guy was out of his league on Rocca.

Frees were 13-14 your way so id say they are pretty fair, just get past the umpires and see wallace has turned your team into a bunch of unfit soft hacks (except for Foley he tries hard), its a bit hard when your 'Messaih' turns out to be a ****en hack of a coach.

yea becuase rocca did so much in the first 3 quarters. he did nothing all game till the last when it was all but over. His miss from 5m out was shocking I struggle to see how he has kicked so many goals when he kicks like that. honestly he choked.

so you base the frees being fair around the spread of the frees?

No all you guys have said is how th umpires gave you nothing as you can see you got more than us meaning we also got nothing (easy to follow).
Im telling you the umpires really did gives us less than you (in fact the stats show that).

Rocca played very well in the 3rd and 4th quarter and was one of the main factors that lead to collingwood winning, kicked 3 himself (2 of which gave as the lead in the last quarter that shut you down completely), and set 3 for Medhurst 4 goals.

Richo is known to kick like a VFL seconds player too or did you miss his OOF, and shank for 45 in the last quarter, or did you just want to neglect cayse it didnt help your arguement.

not saying umpires cost us the game. just saying they are ****

Whinging won't help.
Why don't you all go and learn the rules instead.
