Edwards goal that wasn't
« on: July 28, 2012, 08:57:27 PM »
The ball showed no signs of deflection nor did the vision show the ball was touched yet the idiot reviewer called it touched  ::).

Sorry enough is enough. It's meant to be a professional sport but it's been officiated by amatuers. RFC needs to make a formal/public stand against the pathetic standard of umpiring. It's gone beyond a joke!

It's that simple Spud
"I discussed (it) with my three daughters, my wife and my 82-year-old mum, because it has really affected me … If those comments … were made about one of my daughters, it would make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I would not have liked it at all.”

Yet again getting screwed over from the umps. Clearly looked like a goal.

It did look like it, but surely that means it is inconclusive and umpires call.

Yep it was inconclusive. They aren't meant to guess because it feels right ::).

Game costing when the final margin is under a goal.

We're not good enough to win. If Judd had played we would have lost by 4 goals+ Sadly for us, we have a long long way to go and afew supposed big names like Jackie who is a complete disappointment atm.

Ifs and Buts tho Ramps.. If we had a fit Vickery, Grimes or Griffiths?

Another case of when the game is to be won you need 22 players.. We consistantly play men down.. Adam Maric, Kelvin Moore could have played in the stands instead. McGuane was borderline OK.

GC and now Carlton.. Ordinary players stepping up to win games K.Hunt and now B.McLean... Our fringe players consistantly do nothing.

We dont have 22 players, at best we go into each weekend with about 15 or 16 and another 6 or 7 pretenders. :help

Exactly.

There lies our problem.

Hard to win games that are on the line when you have 14 players giving 110% ad the rest going at 35% with no ability.

Kelvin is finished. Nahas Might kick goals but gets 1 touch in every 20 inside50s..

It was touched.

BUT. This wasn't the issue.

The Carlton Betts goal was also touched. There was zero consistency

Yep Cotch, Dusty and Lids can't do it all. Our bottom 6 especially with the outs we have are useless.

Still nothing to do with inconclusive vision overriding the goalumpire who originally called it a goal.

How on earth anyone watching from the stands or on television can conclusively say it was touched is beyond me.  Every single replay from every single angle showed it was possible that Gibbs either touched the ball or Edwards leg, or completely missed everything and the one official in the prime position to adjudicate it said he was certain it was a goal.  If you want some degree of certainty then watch Gibbs reaction as soon as the ball is kicked - he doesn't react until well after the event and this is from a serial whinger!  He knew damn well he hadn't touched it and he only 'appealed' as an afterthought.  The video review system officially lost a team the game tonight and it has demonstrated succinctly why the players and coaches are against it in it's current format.

This game is fast becoming a farce,

what about the 3 free kicks Murphy got in a row for "holding"

Interpretation varies from match to match let alone week to week, what about the one where houli took the ball and 1 second later andy collings slides into him front on, no free? Its a stuffing joke, they have ruined this game
