Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!

Look they played better than us but my partner who came to the game who is a blues supporter claimed they were cheating
 
a couple that i noticed that were shockers
Riewolt getting spun around and the ball sitting on the ground
Swan running into forward 50, drop it cold, play on
Vickers getting held by brown twice, play on
Cotchin getting caught high, play on
Swan getting a free for chop on the arms by Chaplin
 
I normally don't like to join in umpire bashing, but they really helped Collingwood dismantle us in the third quarter. Consistently paid Collingwood the 50:50s while not paying them for us.

That's half the problem, if its a 50/50 situation - should be play on.
 
Chaplin almost lost his neck, PRE Olympic Stand side, play on
Can't remember who, Richmond player pushes B&W filth player in the side in front of our goals at PRE, push in the back to the filth
Muscles on the lead in the 3rd at PRE cannoned into his back by the filth and flat onto his face, play on
Rance PUNCHES the ball from in front of Cloke's face PRE Olympic Stand side, over the shoulder, Cloke kicks it out of his rear end from the boundary line, goal. Look "technically" his arm had to be over his shoulder to hit the ball but what the hell is backman allowed to do. You cannot touch a forward but a backman can get decapitated. Horse *smile*!
 
Thought early in the game, they gave us some gifts.

I didn't get upset with any decision that I saw.
 
Perhaps you are more balanced than me Phanto but generally I will call a gift to us crap if it is crap.

While at the game I thought they were crap to but I was being influenced by a pro Richmond crowd. When I watched the replay I thought they weren't as bad as I'd thought
 
How many times did Collingwood drop their knees and get a free?

Was farcical.

They were instructed for sure to do this.

Don't trust any team that starts with C!

imo the video ump got it wrong with grigg's goal. That was BS.
Totally agree, cant believe there hasnt been more said about this. Imagine a decision like that influencing a grand final?
 
Terrible. The goal knocked back was brutal. The 50 against Chaplin was brutal, and against the laws of physics. (player runs over the mark because he's pursuing at full pace, normally he goes back a few metres and ump tells him where the mark is). As has been said, in the third Q, they got every 50/50 and we got none. This happens all the time though. Umps get mesmorised by a top side with momentum and hand them some extra momentum. Has been the way since I've been watching footy.
 
In 80% of the games we play in, not only are we playing against the opposition but these $2 buck flogs.
That's 2 weeks in a row they have mangled us and it will get worse on Friday night.
 
We aint seen nothing yet.

Freo need a win and the umps will be rubbing their botty's with the softest baby powder on their home ground.

Just watch the green maggots do their work.

I knew the rub of the green would disappear after we were 3-0 and great odds for the 8.
