Surprised tarpaulins could make that much noise.

THOUGHT they were terrible again today especially in the 1st quarter.

Agree there was a period about 15 mins in the first just before we kicked away where I reckon they made about 6-8 wrong decisions in a row all against the tiges

The standard of umpiring is nothing but a disgrace. The amount of blatant missed frees just stuffs up watching the game. If that fat slimy turd geisham thinks they are are doing well then the only alternative to being incompetent is they are cheats.

Ox's comments about the car accident and dildo was on the money.

22 (Port) - 15 free kicks ....do we ever win this count?

[Smokey]

Well, I have to say it wasn't too bad.  Looked pretty neutral.

FWIW I thought we got smashed again Owl.  Will watch the replay and reconsider my first impression.

[Penelope]

im with you there smokey.

got butt raped by the turds, and thats my sober opinion.

that will only degenerate as i drink more.

[Phil Mrakov]

Port won the free kick count yet their fans still booed all throughout the game and will surely blame the umps

[Penelope]

what would you expect from inbred limpgots?

nearly as bad as the purple horde.

they all eat their children that are born showing a lack of genetic diversity

what a stuffing debarkle in the whorekes  faggots game.

Goal umpire was sure it was goal. Boundry umpire thought it may have been touched. after ginning around for a eternity they decide to review it. The video ump says inconclusive original call, so the field ump says its a point.

Well done geish and the AFL 

you stuffing cretins 

[Yeahright]

Please cease the Port insults, Coach will go into hiding again if you keep making him sad

Geisch last week said any pushing in a contest even if it's to the side or front was no longer allowed. Now this week the umps have clearly been told by the powers that be to let it go. Seriously Geisch has to resign or be sacked. He has not a clue from week to week and just says everything is okay when anyone challenges a decision even if he contradicts himself from what he had said previously.

As for the umps, someone emailed 3aw during our game and mentioned that of the 3 umpires from last year's Grand Final, two did the Geel vs Ess game and the third was umpiring in the Haw vs Syd match. So the AFL makes sure the best umps do the games involving the top sides while the low profile games get the poorer umps.

My howler was in the second quarter.
Vlaustin gets tackled. Tackle slips below the knee he is tripped. Right in front of the ump called play on. Port player gets tackled and throws the ball in front of the same ump who lets that go too and end up with Broadbent taking a big mark and kicking a goal for them.
Farcical just farcical.
The fish does rot at the head.

[Penelope]

plus flos never had the ball when he was tackled around the legs.

retreads!

in any other job if those under your management performed so poorly week in week out you would be long gone, but these stuffs thrive on incompetence.
