I share the frustration and annoyance on Sunday's umpiring but I don't think arguing the point with the site moderators is the way to go here.....Comment

Well take as you want. Some of the things that have been mentioned would normally not be given a second look, but given the current circumstances, giving an inch isn't always the best policy.
We've taken a hard line on all subsequent posts.
Live with it. There is another game to worry about in a few days.
And the umpires report hasn't been released yet.Comment

Umpiring 'fine' - AFL.com.au
Gieschen's Response -But Gieschen rated the umpires' performance in the SCG match as 'fine', suggesting much of the angst stemmed from the number of goals resulting from the infringements.
"Whenever you have goals from free kicks or 50s, it gets the fans excited, it gets the clubs excited, everybody gets a little bit emotive about what happened," Gieschen said on his weekly afl.com.au show 'What's Your Decision?' on Tuesday night.
"But the bottom line is, when we drill back into all of those decisions, the vast majority were there."

Might need to close this thread. That ridiculous and expected response from Gieshen will just piss people off more...And the Swans are the Premiers...The Ultimate Team...The Ultimate Warriors. They have overcome the highly fancied Hawks in brilliant style. Sydney the 2012 Premiers - Gerard Whately ABC

Did we really expect anything different? Not me, that's for sure.
They pick out 4 decisions that can be argued to the letter of the law and disregard a multitude of crook decisions which cannot be defended.Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

Exactly right and I was about to post that. He picks the ones he can defend, mentions that there were a few incorrect calls but ignores getting into them in detail. Tadhg's was there I will admit. Jesse's was borderline. At the ground I actually thought he took the mark and was paid the mark. NicMal's is just not consistent at all. They would hardly ever call that. Grundy's wasn't there when Ballantyne was throwing punches. LRT 's wasn't there when he got pushed down in front of the ruck. Blah, blah etc etc. Driving people away from the game they are. One of those games though and they will defend it like that. Can't wait to see how the boys respond on Saturday. MASSIVE game.

i watched all the Footy shows last night and typical of the Melb media, no one brought up the umpiring..
Roosey did to a certain degree on the couch, but you could see he was being mindful of his comments.
If that was Collingwood, Blues, Geelong, Hawks or on the opposite foot here in WA the media would have been in uproar...but typical because its the swans nothing.....i was even more angry again last night at that alone...
Typical of th Geish what did we expect from that twat..(sorry if that is an offensive term on here)...Comment

Annoyed me too that they titled the story "Umpiring 'fine'". Gives the impression that the Umps got a fine and it's just tabloid media. Don't treat us as fools you muppets. The game is not about Umpires and the fact they love to discuss Ray is a joke. The guys name shouldn't even been mentioned. Call him 'No 18' and that's it.

This is very sad. Doesn't the AFL realise how little credibility Jeff Gieschen has when he says rubbish like this. (Shakes head sadly.)All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund BurkeComment

Feel like starting a 'Jeff Geischen is a ****** ****** who agrees?' thread.
Seriously fired me up again.
If you managed to stay watching long enough, he then defends the free against Monfries, another seriously poor decision, even given any free against Monfries cannot be a bad thing...Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

What a bunch of wank
I've tweeted my outrage with swearing to the @AFL. That's a forum where you can really vent.-Comment

I admit that I'm often the first to have a go at the umps. But I'm also in the camp that believes without them we would not have a game and far less to talk to talk about. Hopefully they don't take it personally because it's not meant as such from me at least.
Chamberpot next time you umpire the Swans I am going to have a ball.Comment

"Chamberlain came in for particular scorn on supporter forums and social networking sites, but Gieschen said he was comfortable with the "bubbly, gregarious" umpire showing his personality, provided his umpiring maintained a high standard."

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
