Footballers miss goals and make mistakes consistently yet an umpire makes a few mistakes and Itās a conspiracyā¦ However in the moment I feel the umpires are against us when itās tight or losing and amused at how soft the free kicks we get when weāre winning. Viewing would be better if they didnāt try to find the best angle of how bad the umpire call was, no need to replay it.
Pannell was rogering us long before he got KOād. I was at the game when it happened and at first I was concerned, but once I realised who it was I just thought āpfftā¦who caresā.
Thanks for that. The conversation is about an orchestrated attempt by the AFL to influence results by instructing umpires to favor some teams over others.
Favoritism and biases can and almost certainly do exist without a top-down conspiracy.
Although Iād note it only takes two to form a conspiracy. An ump making a mistake + his boss whitewashing it = a conspiracy.
You should write a note to the club addressed to Aaron. He will no doubt remember your interaction.
I was one of if not the biggest poster to rip you to shreds after what you did to Aaron, great to see you have acknowledged your mistakes and are learning.
Iāve bagged you and given you sh*t over the whole Francis affair, mostly because you didnāt see/understand what affects what you did to him could have on him, and you seemed very flippant on the whole affair. Iām glad to see youāve seen the light on the subject, so to speak. I also think it speaks volumes to admit your mistakes, I commend you on that. Iām also not proud of some things Iāve said to you out of anger for what you did to Francis, two wrongs donāt make a right.
Iād like to think with a new year maybe we could both have genuine, kind hearted discussions on football with some disagreements without getting nasty with each other, Iād rather aim it Adelaide on Friday.
Im looking forward to see him have fun on the footy track.
I think the Francis situation should have been a wake up call for many of our supporters about what we expect of our young players.
Many of the comments about Francis during Trade week were quite frankly sickening and pathetic. Iām certain many EFC supporters have had a good hard look at themselves.
