Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!
- Thread starter iLoVeNeWmAn

[quote author=Ridley link
We were clearly on top by 3 goals until midway through the 2nd quarter and then the farce started.

It's so true. Just before half time the *smile* started, out of nowhere ( except for not being able to get holding the ball all night).
As other have said, not the reason we lost, far from it, but momentum changed once the *smile* s started their *smile*.
It just doesn't help your mood.
BTW, still trying to get over the Cotchin sliding free at the stat of the 4th qtr last week.

Spot on Evo said the same thing have not seen anything like it in 20 years...The umps kept them in it and our turnovers also were also a factor, sure towards the end of the 3rd and last they just scooted away but in the 2nd when we were 19 points up and had the momentum that 10-15 min of umpire madness reversed the momentum and gave the cats some cheap goals which got them within striking distance to us....
Need some one to answer this, maybe i was just seeing things but i would say that at least 10 times thats right 10 times Richmond players tackled geelong players and not once did cats players dispose of the ball properly and ump says play on.....I simply said whats the point of tackling if u dont get rewarded....One of the most frustrating things i saw all night....
I was sitting just behind the interchange and you are right to crowd fired up and rightly so.Ridley said:

He's becoming very unsportsmanlike these days, the charge on Newman was a blight on a quality contest and totally against the spirit of the game. His milking of free kicks needs to be addressed, it seems he'll stop at nothing to get a few freebies, and it's incredibly frustrating to see the umpires pander to him like lapdogs.
STICK YOUR APPRECIATION WEEK WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE MAGGOTS.
That was the worst umpired game I've been to in the last 10 years.
I had to physically remove myself from the stands because I was going to explode in that 3rd quarter.
Clearly had no chance of outplaying Geelong and the umpires tonight.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Selwood tipped Newman almost up side down similar to a spear tackle and my first thought was beauty free kick reversed but to my horror cats got a 50 meter penalty and ended up goaling from all that...
The reality is aside from Richmond fan forums that the umpires will receive no crticism of this of this because the media isn't interested in any Richmond story that isn't negative.
Selwood can get away with as much stageing, sniping and baiting he likes and a conga line of suck holes in the media will call him 'fair' because he is a good player.

Really should be known as jelly knees for his ability to buckle under pressure. He has changed the way the game is played.
