One ump had something against us

[mightytiges]

Was Shane Stewart the umpire who just made one perplexing inconsistent decision after the other?

 

[Ox]

That was fukicng ridiculous

[TigerTimeII]

i really do not understand why there is no investigation, we get abused raped stuffed over by the umps week in week out

yesterday in the first half esp. they destroyed us

[RollsRoyce]

God, where do you start??? Kosi's Lloyd-esque dive? The push in the side paid against McGuane in the scramble to rush a behind? White penalised for propping with his body behind his opponent (no hands)? The Saint who took on Tucky, was stopped cold for a play-on compared to Nahas being pinged off one step? Or the Saint who retreated across the boundary line and got away with it?
It's gotten to the stage now where we have to factor in that the umps will be against us as a  weekly constant.

A few weeks ago against the Bombers i didnt notice but last night was stuffin B U L L poo . Umpire number 10 im sure of it

seriously wtf is going on out there.

GALE STAND UP AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I couldnt believe what i saw last night. That Mcguane free against was a disgrace




edit: avoidance of swear filter

I came home last night and watched the Fox replay to see if the decisions looked as bad on telly as they did at the ground. On the McGuane one Leigh Matthews said " It didn't look like a free kick from this angle".

i am not one to blame umpires after the game but last night was a effin disgrace.

That Stkilda player Gilbert from memory running through the middle of the ground then gets caught but no we got nothing.
No holding the ball at all. Few minutes later we got done for holding the ball and our player had no prior.

Seriously Something needs to be done. If that was Mick or Rocket this umpiring circus would've been brought up the press conference. eff the fine and eff geesh that piece of poo . Something needs to be done.

[jackstar is back again]

Forget about the umpires and there decisions.
We got a good run against the Power the previous week, terrible against the bombers and last night.
No doubt we will get a good run next week,

[2JD]

Not good enough tho Jack, we should get a fair go every week. Not a very good ad for OPSM, certainly hasnt improved their eyesight lol

[mat073]

Once again the "marque" team gets away with murder..... while we on the other hand get pinged for every obscure rule infringement.

I know I watch games with my Yellow & Black glasses on but its getting beyond the joke.

[FNM]

Notice on the replay, the commentators were loathed to actually "commentate" on the umpiring.  Probably an AFL directive not to comment on the rogering we get 

[TigerLand]

Umpiring is bad every week. Every week.

In their defence our game is the most confusing game in the world. I took a mate from England to a game a while back and I just gave up explaining the game to him.

Holding the ball: If you have oppurtunity to dispose of teh ball you have to get rid of it or its a free kick against you. If you don't have an oppurtunity you have to look like or make an attempt to dispose of it. If your don't have an oppurtunity its a ball up. If you dive on the ball and not get it out its holding the ball. If you get tackled with one arm pinned its holding the ball. If you get tackled and the ball pops it it's sometimes holding the ball. If you get tackled mid possession and you get a grubber kick away its not holding the ball but if its a really bad grubber kick its holding the ball. If it takes a 360 degree turn in a tackle and dont dispose of it, its holding the ball - Unless your Gary Ablett.

Thats one bloody rule.

Haha beautifully explained

I thought the McGuane one against Schneider was a shocker but the Gilbert step across the boundary line was the worst of the night IMHO - beggered belief

Cheap goals being handed on a platter to the opposition. Maybe just maybe after our run in the third we could have been at worst level or a few kicks in front. We'll never know now if we may have won from there. Once again umpires just ruining the game. Why can't they just umpire the game as if both teams were placed one and two on the ladder? No wonder the fans are disillusioned.
