Blatant cheating by umpires - “having a ‘mare tonight” (Part 1)

After two of the worst stitch ups by the maggots in history in only three weeks - and interspersed with the AFL allowing GAJ to go around with impunity elbowing people like Shiel in the head - the threads from these events should be linked to this one for easier future reference.

So the following is presented as a community service:

Anzac Day debacle - maggots win the day with the most sustained display of cheating in history (Yes, this IS a big call). Follow from this post:

They’ve been named…Had to have their own personalised thread.
I woke up this morning with that sick in the guts feeling which follows you being screwed over. I’m sure everyone’s experienced it at some point in another part of life. Today for the first time it was footy. Never before have had this feeling of anger, resentment, and dismay on the back of umpiring nor footy since the saga.

I’m typically an agitator for reason (hence my continued baiting of Worsfold critics after a win), and I’m also objective when it comes to our own performance erring on the side of Sheedy optimism at times . Up until now, I haven’t questioned the role of the umpires…and Typically I would be sifting through the stats this morning with an attempt to make reason of our performance yesterday. But I couldn’t.
I watched the game when I got home and was beyond fury…
Yesterday was horrific, it was unfair… It was premeditated cheating.
I’m not sure if all three were being Bank rolled, but there was something. I can’t put my finger on it and I’m taking action. By the end of the weekend Stephen Hocking, and Gil McLachlan, will have a letter enroute requesting answers with a detailed analysis of the decisions across the game with a request that it is replayed or points split.
I’m going to struggle to watch another game this year if nothing official comes out on the back of the game and Hocking provides us with a neanderthalic PR closed ranks we’re comfortable with their performance bs.
But for now I’m angry…This footy club was shafted yesterday.

The maggots give the game to Snydey by refusing to pay the most obvious free kick in history - and one of the very few that is black-and-white, so not open to maggotry (mis)interpretations.
