Dropping the ball

[mightytiges]

Does the dropping the ball rule even exist anymore?!

There were at least about 8-10 blatant ones last night yet the umps just kept flapping their arms. The one especially where we still got a goal out of it to Nahas late in the 3rd qtr - the Brisbane player gathers the ball and has time to get rid of it yet then gets tackled with an arm pinned and drops the balls with the other hand and still it's play on!  ??? I didn't notice a free given or advantage paid  ???.

And we were on the wrong side of the ledger with them MT..........................again.

The one that made me boil was late in the game when Conca was pinged for holding the ball even though he jumped in the air to grab the ball and was tackled and pinned as his feet came back down - what the hell is no prior opportunity if that wasn't?  And then a few minutes later Black tries to run around a player, gets caught, does a 'Judd 360', ball spills out and play on?  WTF?

that incident you are talking with conca smokey, i find much more infuriating than letting them go.

IMO the person with the ball is often too harshly treated and at times the way the game is umpired you are just about better to not be first to the ball - something that goes completely against the grain.

I much prefer to the bloke with his hands on the pill given too much leniency than be overly crucified.

Agree al. Let them go but be consistent.

dropping the ball or incorrect does exist unless the tackler is wearing a tiger jumper, then its just play on or holding the man

umpires are spineless gutless maggot dogs

[cub]

That Conca one just about had me pop a foofa valve.

ONCE AGAIN and because we won I can say "The umpys continually crucify Richmond"

And to quantify! I sincerly beleive it is a subconcious mentality they all seem to have from Geisch down. Because we have been down for so long we need to cheat or crib and just get pinged for things that that other "most" sides dont and visa versa.

Hopefully when we become a top 8 team consistently this mentality will recede into the wee depths of the retards grey matter

obviously no one told the ump that paid deliberate against merrett about this conspiracy by the umpires against Richmond

What a stupid retort, they make mistakes both ways we know that!

that umpire had no choice what so ever to pay that free kick also because during the week it was highlighted many times how merrett does that so often and gets away with it

ur statement is bs and its a fact that the umpires discriminate against us , they have done so for such a long time...FACT

a stupid retort?

Oh, i forgot about little things called facts 
 

we won a game were we got more free kicks and still the constant, inane whine about how the umpires have some sort of agreement to crucify richmond drowns out the rational discussions.

[cub]

And it was delebirate.

Cut and paste whatever you like, I have just said and believe the umpys give us a harder time as they have a preconceived notion that we aren't good enough!

The umps were bad and in Brisbanes favour last night!

We won Im happy

watch the games, week in week out whether we win lose or draw there are always 2 sets of rules, one for us  and one who we play against
open ur eyes

thats because my original was directed at all the conspiracy theorists. i put it all together in reply to CUB's post;

they make mistakes both ways we know that!

didnt think it would be that difficult to follow.

obviously cub was wrong when he said "we".
