Wirrapanda's Goal

Winterstick · Apr 7, 2007

good kick, good goal he did nothing wrong but you could see by his reaction, that it was out of bounds as he kicked it, look at the camera shot from behind the goals and its clearly out

The umpires are shocking. I don't care if I get seen as a sore loser or a whinger. If the umpires were any good we would of won, sure we had the chance to win it but I just want to say how bad they were. They weren't bad both ways, sure we got a couple of lucky ones, but the bulk of them went to WCE. 2 HOLDING THE BALL DECISIONS ALL DAY. Presti over Judd a free? Judd gets tackled taking on two players running 20 metres while being tackled, no holding the ball. Kerr tackles the ball out of Licuria's possesion, and has the ball himself but Lica gets pinged for holding the ball. I know this free kick doesn't matter but Pendles touches Stenglein and they pay a free kick.

WCE 28 Coll 15 free kicks. I think about 8 of WCEs frees were correct the others were wrong decisions fueled by the fact the umpires are so busy "cracking down" on new interpretations which change EVERY WEEK that they forget about the other free kicks.

Judd had no opportunity to get rid of the ball though. It was held to him, your fellas just couldn't bring him down.

Well thats the problem with Perth, drugs too easily available... and the umps obviously loaded up pre-game

Oh please, the Licca hold in the ball that you scored a goal from in the 1st quarter was atrocious

The fact we couldn't bring him down has nothing to do with it, it's irrelevant. He had prior opportunity to get rid of it, not only that but he did have the ball and threw it.

All credit to WCE though, it's not your fault, you did enough to win and good on you.

yeah it looked out of bounds.

better than robbos goal i reckon though.

Pedro · Apr 7, 2007

Wayne Harmes anybody?

peterss · Apr 8, 2007

Goal of the year contender for sure!

LOL @ the go at the umpires.

Why do we get more free kicks week in week out? Because we KNOW the rules and we don't break them as often as other teams.

I wasn't at the game so I don't know if the ball was out of bounds... but who's to say we wouldn't kick a goal anyway?

Poor Collingwood, had 2 travel to perth twice in two years!!! Quit blaming umpires and accept the loss, they played really well and got very close to beating WC..

Yes probably, definately at this stage at least.
I think the reaction from panda was weird, surely you play by the whistle, I wouldn't care that it was probably out of bounds.

I had the best view of that goal as i was sitting directly in line with Wirra and the 1 foot of daylight between the goal posts. It actually directly on line all the way, but it took a slight bounce that made it go through. Got me out of my seat and pumping the air

I couldnt tell if the ball went out or not. Happens so quick and Wirras body was a bit in the way. Wirras goal was cancelled out by Neons goal anyhow.

Totally agree and would like to add Embley taking on 2 players and being caught red hot yet another ball up. :thumbsd:

It was out of bounds before he kicked it, not the kick. If you watch the replay as he drops the ball on to his foot it goes out of bounds.

However it was a bloody good goal and worthy of goal of the year.

This is a little whinge, more about the state of the game than anything. I only saw 10 minutes of tonights game and I walked away appalled.

10 minutes to go in the last Lockyer drops a mark when hes clear and has to recover it. This allows Braun to catch up and lay a tackle staright after he'd picked it up. Lockyer got swung around. I heard the whistle and thought free to Lockyer - too high/swung in the tackle whatever it is. It went the other way fpr holding the ball and I walked off. Would have barely taken two steps and didn't even have full control of the ball.

That drug taking chimp must be the umpires bum poker.

Stakerz · Apr 8, 2007

We were deffanently robbed.

Surely some Coaster fans can agree with us on this one.

The ball did look over the line by a CM but who knows

Lockyer should have taken the mark anyway, wimp. But yes it was a stupid decision.

Let's look forward to next week :thumbsu:

I have every Bad Religion CD....hehehehe

BTW agree with most of that.
Eagles still dominated the second half though.
