Ray Chamberlin is a ******* ****** who agrees?

[Allymay]

I think the nickname is pandering to this guy's ego. He loves the attention. Jeff Geisha - grow some balls and do something about this moron!!!!

[Nich]

An embarrassment to the game. Some people like him but my theory is if you are even having that discussion about an
Umpire then he has already failed. It's not about you Ray. Lucky I wasn't near their race today. I noticed how many were lining up when the siren went. Disgraceful. Let the boys play footy you egotistical muppet.

[chalbilto]

I haven't been so angry at an umpiring performance for shuch I long time. They were disgraceful today. I hope we don't have to suffer Ray Chamberlain ever. The guy is an egotistical fool. Lucky for him it was Sydney and not Collingwood.

[ScottH]

My. God. If bazza was still in the team, razor wouldn't have walked off the ground. His ego is unbelievable for an umpire...

Post of the thread!!

Shocking display out there.

Biggest @@@@head ever

[emazing]

hey guys, could not agree more!
umpiring killed the game and a good ump is one you do not notice or discuss
leave your ego in the change room
the umpiring is way behind other areas of afl and makes the sport laughable overseas( eg compared to nfl, nhl,mbl,nba etc)
to lose by 11 in such a crucial game and have at minimum 4 goals given away from umpiring 50-50's?
i also agree andrew demitriou is a complete nob who cant handle the fact we won in 2005 and got beaten by 1 point by a team on steroids in 2006
has the head of any sport in australia ever singled out a teams playing style?
makes you wonder... what about the interchange blunder earlier in the year against carlton?
man i am fuming!!

[On-Baller]

Yeah have to agree pretty disgraceful effort today,and it's not the first time for Ray,umpires are there to umpire not be celebrities.

Having said that i still dont think we lost due to the umpires,shocking selection again from Horse and co,and the teams overall effort was very poor indeed bar the last 1/4.

[jono2707]

I normally try not to get too caught up in berating umpires but I have nearly lost my voice after yelling at that disgraceful rubbish dished up by the fly larvae in yellow. I don't think I've seen a game where the umpiring so totally overshadowed the game. I didn't pay good money to watch that 'show' and I'd like to see whether the AFL have anything to say on the debacle that was today's 'umpiring'.
Rant over...

[Nich]

I am just tired of the square ups as well. I'm sure I am not paranoid so why do they very often start blowing frees to the team that is behind in the last quarter?? If you are going to pay them then, then pay them the whole game. Square ups are disgraceful.

[Damien]

Was in a Corp Box today with 4 Freo fans and 2 actual umpires haha and they were all horrified by some of the 50/50s paid against us, so I felt a bit better about my sooking.

Have to say Tadgh was stupid in the last few minutes though, just give the ball straight back. Once the kick is paid, just give the freaking ball.

[emazing]

man i live in melbourne and the swans get nothing here..its all collingwood,carlton and essendon
after living in sydney and working at scg for 4 years it hurts to have no true swans insight in the media or tv commentary in melbs
the third quarter effort was woeful by bloods but its hard to put in context when 3 goals are gifted from 50-50s 20 m straight in front

who thinks white has played his last game?

[Margie]

who thinks white has played his last game?

Me. In the seniors anyway.

[teddys mum]

Me. In the seniors anyway.

Definitely, do you reckon we'd get much for him in a trade?

[Margie]

Definitely, do you reckon we'd get much for him in a trade?

Doubtful. Unless GWS could see some value in him.

[erica]

Chamberlain is a total disgrace to the game. There was so much sustained booing at his decisions (that was after the stunned disbelief from the crowd). I was hoping he might be accidentally taken out of the game. I'm sure we could have raised the money to pay the fine from the crowd.
