Thank god we don't have McLaren again. I don't mind Kennedy, he isn't too bad as far as white maggots go.

I feel sorry for the Cats, stuck with Goldstink.
Nah, actually I don't. Better them than us

Nah, it suits Sydney to have Geelong lose, given current ladder postitions.

Head is a great name for an umpire! Reminds me of Brett Heady at Eagles who's nickname was "Jobby".

[Sanecow]

Head will fnck us, never you mind.

Did you see it was Goldy that Arch was having an argument with?

Hardly surprising. Has to be the MOST hated by the whole of the AFL community.

We have had Wenn several times this year.

Also, did anyone hear the suggestion on WLF through the week that the same team gets the same set of Umps all year? I nearly fell out of my rocking chair. Imagine getting stuck with Goldy for a f.......g year?

I'd have to change teams just to get a win.

I thought that at first too but I think what they are suggesting is the same team of umpires (as in group of 3 or 4) operates together all season.

Phew...thanks for that.

It was poorly worded on the night and left me thinking of doom.

Hmmm Sydney avoid Goldstink again, I guess they feel we get crucified in the free kick count enough

Only ump I have a concern with out of the Three is Head, but could be worse IMHO

[BayesysLeftBoot]

Luckily head wasn't umpiring last week when we had cox and ball going at it.

[Roscoe]

Goldstink hates us - but he is sooooo biased towards Essendon

[Sanecow]

OMFG the maggots were F\/CKING AWFUL! If I had been at the game I would have jumped the fence and snotted one when that non-mark was paid 30m from the Crows goal, and then the holding decision against Schneider when McCloud had a good handful of his jumper was even more irritating, not to mention various Swans being held at bounces etc etc They were gutless and went with the crowd, evening up the account after half time with soft frees to Adelaide (to leave town alive, probably, weak as p!ss).

Sure our goal kicking was the biggest issue, but if the maggots had actually considered the rules of the game it would have helped.

[Go Swannies]

The really annoying thing about the umpiring was that the non-mark that was paid to some Adelaide forward (my eyes were red with rage at that stage so I didn't see clearly) resulted in an OOBOTF so we can't even use that as clear grounds for Roos to lodge a complaint.

Did you hear how quiet the ground was when they reshowed it?

Just a good thing that Carey wasn't in the crowd or they probably would have let him have a shot for goal from there, too.

[Matt79]

I actually thought the umpiring was not too bad (in comparison to the many previous weeks of crap they have dished up to us!).
Did not influence the game IMO.
