Umpiring

[Groupie_]

I looked at the seasons from 2010 to current day trying to pinpoint when it all fell apart for us in the free kicks department and i found it, in 2015 we had a +71 differential to sit at +18 overall for the seasons 2010-2015.

What happened after that can be just called cheating, favourable treatment, biased umpiring, harsh treatment or whatever you want to call it. To show comparisons i included Collingwood, Western Bulldogs and Geelong.

2010-2015 overall differentials.

Western Bulldogs + 63, Collingwood +57, Richmond +18, Geelong -29

For the years 2016 - current day overall differentials can only be described as....i don't know what to call it see for yourselves.

Western Bulldogs +510, Collingwood +389, Geelong -40 and Richmond.....................-506

its the way we play

Yeah and I'm sorry you spent so much effort and time doing the homework mate, but the reality is it was so fxxking obvious. lol

He meant meeting times

What happened after that Richmond............-506

Neil Balme happened, that's what! lol

 

[Timothy Luncheon]

First time I'll be at a game in nearly 2 years, not sure how I'm gonna cope with the umps lol. Might get more frustrated watching at home to be honest.

I have no problem with professional umpires per se, but expecting it to solve the problem of bias in Richmond games is naive.

Professional umpiring means they get paid more for the bias. It does not necessarily mean less bias. Nor does it mean the best umpires are used more often.

The same culture, management, selection criteria and other interferences still applies.

Interesting comment on sen this morning , collingwood are playing like Richmond during their flags blowing away sides in the last quarter, yet the elephant in the room is if the pies are playing like us why the free kick discrepancy

RFC should be asking these questions instead of bending over week after week.

I thought I lost my Motorola Razr v3 from 2004, turns out the cfl flogged it and are using it as one of their (f)ARC cameras

I don’t give a **** what anyone says I believe 100% maggots hate the RFC and no doubt they have a chuckle about it together

and what do you, know they are...our players getting jumper punched high multiple times...nothing, scragged and held off the ball...nothing...bloody typical maggot bullshit

Tough guy from Brisbane got a week for the jumper punch the umpire didn’t think it was a free kick , says plenty about the umpiring

Again, like Dawson getting whacked last Sunday, there was no way the ump didn't see it. They're just selective in what they pay and when they pay them.

Unquestionably and totally swayed by elements such as the boisterousness of the crowd, the situation of the game, whereabouts on the ground, and which team it is.

Time to give O.H +S a ring about the dangerous work conditions RFC players have to play under...

As much as the umpires need to be FT, it would not change a thing. What we need is evidence of corruption to challenge the people of importance. lol

Dangerfield elbowed a player in the head last night,not a word said about it.
20 page colour liftout if a Tiger.

 

[All Aust]

Bombers v Port... Essendon player marks but the fluoro does not blow his whistle, so Dan Huston continues to play attempting to tackle. Fluoro blows his whistle and calls 50!!!!!

Fluoro mike picks up the explanation......"You knew it was a mark"

That is absolute lumps of it, right there.

 

[Harrison Bergeron]

I see one of the AFL umpires is currently moonlighting as the 4th umpire at Lords.

Maggotts realize that scatters elbows are fur lined to match their hand-bags!

you could argue that moving to full time would exclude a lot of the current shit umpires as they have much higher paying main jobs. that's the problem with them, it's a side hussle, they cant be held accountable currently because they can just go **** you I quit and fall back on their high paying primary job.
you make umpiring a full time career professionalism will rise because it'll be truly invested and competent people instead of weekend warriors.
