we got bloddy Goldspink

[mikesmi]

Darren Goldspink is one of the umpires officiating the ess/swans game.

[dread and might]

groan.

[EMJ]

I abhor that man for his uneven umpiring.
Gosh we will need to be on top of our game from the start.
That guy should never be our umpire

[bigdaz]

Why is he still umpiring. He's as anti-swans as it gets. I cringe whenever we get him. Obviously the AFL think the Bombers need an advantage

[stellation]

well, after watching the first half I can see why we hate Goldspink so much...

[Diego]

Some were there to be paid.

But Goldspink...

[j s]

12-9 against for the frees. And about half of our frees were for OOF where the field ump doesn't make the decision.

It was nice to see Lloyd's goal disallowed even though the Bombers still got the goal anyway.

[hammo]

There is only one side being umpired today.

Geez Barry Hall gets some rough decisions.

[SWANSBEST]

The umpiring is a disgrace. Because of Hird"s criticism the umpires are bending over backwards to help Essendon. to avoid any further complaints.

[Diego]

19-3 frees

Umpires are doing their best to help the bummers. Doesnt help we are playing poorly.

[Dpw]

Here we go its all the umpires , Check out the Clearances and our poor disposal, I think that will tell the real story.

[dendol]

no, our clearances and disposals dont help, but 5 goals have now come from free kicks to the Bummers. and now that last free and then 50 against C Bolton is ****ING pathetic.

[floppinab]

Trouble is it's not just Goldspink. The others have been just as bad. They've really killed us today.

[Diego]

Those frees that wernt there in the end has cost us maybe a victory? Yeah we played poorly but the boys gave it a crack for a while.

I mean that free to soloman?? WTF??

Lloyd???

And hird????????

[ugg]

Just can't fight playing a good team AND the umpires. I'm really seething here, can't believe the daylight robbery that has just occured. Maybe Maxfield should call them a disgrace, pay a 'fine' and then we'd get better treatment.
