I'll spell it out for you
1. being called deluded is hardly Bay worthy
It's hardly a serious discussion either. You failed to comprehend my post and you called me deluded on the basis of your failed comprehension. You failed to expand on your thoughts or articulate an argument. If you quote people in order to belittle them and offer nothing else, it is bay quality no doubt. In fact, it is beneath bay quality as they at least have a comedic angle they are coming from.
2. There are certain people that always blame the umpires for losses. Typically, they are rightly called deluded (even on this bastion of all fun and giggles that is the main board)
You can't seem to see that Adams only kicked out when his arm was being twisted unnaturally. But hey, you aren't the only Blues fan there
I merely pointed out that kicking legs out is something that happens in every tackle where the ball is pinned under a player. They can't extract the ball, can't get a punch on it so look to show as much movement as possible for the umpires benefit. I did not speculate as to whether Adams was doing that, just said that kicking legs out in itself is not necessarily an indication.
Not sure how that equates to me blaming the umpires for a loss. You went off on a tangent there.
However, I think umpiring decisions affect results most certainly. That's not to say it was deliberate on the part of the umpire but if you don't think teams have umpiring go against them from time to time, to an extent where they probably should have won a game they ended up losing, all things being equal, then you are in denial. There is always room for debate on umpiring decisions. The AFL don't have the power to stop that occurring on forums just yet.
