Blatant cheating by umpires - “having a ‘mare” this century

In no way, size, shape or form were we ever winning this game, but ■■■■ me didn’t the ■■■■■ in yellow give a nice old reach around and fondle to the Doggies tonight.

What’s worse is it’s against Footscray.

They epitomise everything that I hate about modern football.

Get tackled: Dont even bother to look like disposing it. Ball up, or a free kick.

Get tackled: drop the ball, play on.

Get tackled: throw the ball, play on.

Look, the game was one sided, but why the fark are they getting soft frees in front of goal all night?

We lost by 93 and the most embarrassing people on the ground were wearing yellow.

I asked Dave Rodan if he’d flick him in the nuts post game and got one of his trademark smiles

How about the dangerous tackle? Geez the dogs player had 2 arms free and chose to hold on to the ball.

Boy I would love to get the decisions that Naughton got tonight. He had 5 frees for - plus the non payment of a massive push in the back against him. Add in another 3 frees to Darcy and the bullshit trip to West and its 10 goals where they were gifted at least 6 or 7 of them.

Add that to the bullshit dangerous tackle and holding the ball against Clarke and you can see why it was such a rubbish umpiring performance.

Is there a memo that Clarke is never not holding the ball?

Going by tonight’s performance, the umpires are sadists. We’ve got enough problems without them kicking us while we’re down. Seemed two sets of rules out there. Disgraceful.

They lack the strength to be sadists.

They’re just ■■■■■■■ incompetent moron pieces of ■■■■.

Why did you have to go and remind me of that game? That day was worse, as we were in it until those calls came. At least tonight we knew we weren’t going to come close either way.

Ironically, we actually won the free kick count.

How was that a 50m penalty at the end against Merrett, by the way?

The Blakiston free kick to West is among the top five worst free kicks I’ve ever seen. That umpire should never be in first grade again.

Keep going…
How about the clear mark to McMahon not paid, the not even close to a mark to Darcy paid, the 50m against Merett, the tripping free against Blackiston for lying on the ground whilst West was unable to jump over him…

It was genuinely the most diabolical umpiring I’ve seen (and boy do they have a line up to compete for that title), but the umpires will escape any criticism as the game was never on the line and had no interest.

When one team has a roll on over their opponent, the umpires so often gets sucked in to that momentum and add to the pile on for dominant team. I don’t get the psychology of it, but it is definitely a thing, and so frustrating when it is your team getting reamed by both the opposition and the umpires simultaneously.

the farkers in white clearly had a stake in a spread over 100 points, but if it comes out somehow, we’ll get shafted for match fixing.
