Umpires and AFL
Posted: Sat Jun 02, 2007 12:07 pm
hey,
i know not too many of this group follow the footy, but i had to vent my anger somewhere.
Last nights game, Collingwood v Freo was an absolute disgrace to the AFL. There's only one reason it could have been so shocking, the fact that a smallish West Australian team was playing a Victorian team who are the biggest and richest AFL team.
The umpiring was so bad, giving away free kicks to collingwood, which weren't even there, whilst freo where getting tackled high, in the back, all sorts of bull****. I cant describe how disappointed i am in the game at the moment. The result would have been alot different if the game was umpired fairly.
Freo were playing against two teams, Collingwood and the umpires.
Dont think im having a whinge because we lost, i can take a loss, but this one was the worst display of umpiring i have ever seen.
Thanks guys
Alex
