Roast Umpires

[Slattery_20]

21-14 the Dogs way, 1-1 goals from frees, and I've heard whingers say we were favoured. Baffling.

Half the decisions we got weren't there but there were plenty that we could/should have got. Baffling umpiring, but didn't seem to favour either side, and zero effect on the game....

Pretty much how I saw it.
Didn't think the Dogs were favoured but was fairly sure they had more frees, though didn't realise it was that many more. Which added to my astonishment at the Doggies supporter behind me going at the umpires, from 30s in, all the way through.

Can anyone make montage videos?

I'd like one to be made of all the non free kicks got by the Eagles today so that I can send it straight to Gieschen. Absolutely disgraceful.

Sadly, this isn't even the worst we've had it this year. Not even close.

Lucky Crameri is amazingly strong and kicked that goal, coz that was 4 **** ups in a row by the umps in not paying holding against Waters.

Stewie is a joy to watch.

 

[Jivin Jackel]

What were ppl expecting playing over there?

 

[pepsi]

Having to stop myself punching the wall from watching this is incredibly difficult.

You sure Whomb?

 

[Kong]

That 3rd quarter changed things.

 

[Eleven 38]

sydney in sydney ring a bell?

Essendon needs to make an Enquiry.

Let's take it up to the ****** afl

 

[Tassieboy]

Can't believe this keeps happening

 

[Rocky_Star_Pro]

Absolutely pathetic, I can't believe that will take one of these maggots to wreck a grand final for the AFL to notice and take action

Reimers getting pinged for a high fend off and then Embly palming off McVeigh in the face and going onto to kick a goal was the most frustrating.

I am quite fond of the 2 hands in the back of Crameri which resulted in him dislocating his bloody shoulder and still no free kicks. Someone is getting paid money somewhere along the line.

 

[Kong]

Yeah I'm no longer convinced that this is just incompetency.

Serious questions need to be asked.

 

[Knight Ryders]

Jimmy Hird $20K fine is the one that just keeps on keeping on....

Robbo from HS is the one that genuinely has a crack but holds back on the Essendon ones - may be because everyone knows he is Essendon through and through.

 

[Kong]

Yeah I'm looking at you, Robbo.

I know you like to be seen as diplomatic and measured, but something needs to be said.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

I don't think it is intentional by the umps, just incompetence.

Notice that in the Kangaroos VS Freo game - Suban gave away a free kick - Back chatted the umpire - 50 metre penalty - Was far less vociferous than Hudson's last week.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

The Hudson call last week was one of the worst ever. The umps are precious.

 

[reincarnated]

If that wasn't blatant cheating...I don't know what is. And they get away with it. No one's there to question these bast--ds. Because they are all in on it.

I sometimes wonder if this is all worth it. I get upset. My wife gets upset because I am angry. It ruins a good day in my life...

One of the worst umpiring I've ever seen was against Port at the Dome couple of years back. We got them next week, with a weak Essendon Team after more injuries.

I am just going to take my wife and go away for the weekend.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Umpires defeat Essendon? Seriously?

F-ing embarrassing. Grow up.

Tried to explain last week that umpires pay 50 metres for back chatting/disputing an umpires decision - And was howled down !
