[clarkoscluster]

Hale goal. 0-6

 

[stmookeyj]

Crouch on Harvey, Simpson and Kirk running together.

 

[stmookeyj]

Edwards miss from a free...

 

[funkyfetlock]

Yet another very dodgy free kick for the kangaroos in front of goal.

 

[stmookeyj]

Gibson has Hall was the other matchup I caught.

 

[TheTrav]

Looks bad that many people at that stadium.

Oh well NRL puts up with it every week

Has the umpiring got worse from season to finals? sure seems like it, did not think it was possible.

 

[Shane_Mag]

Imagine 7 covering this game with their mics. Would hear no one

Actually, the NRL would be thrilled to bits with that crowd.

Loving the work of Wallsy tonight. Jack gets a possession and Robert chimes in with "spoke to his father at the rising star award". Thanks for the insight Robbie

LOL@ Sydney bandwagoners....and to think the AFL are putting a team out in Bogantown!

Going to be an ugly game with the weather- just hope both teams don't flood too!

 

[rdhopkins2]

Oh umpire thats awful! Harvery kicks it off the ground 30cm over the goal line and a goal is awarded. Ump off to the magoos next week!

 

[stmookeyj]

Harvey seemingly had an airy....but the goal stands!!!!!

SYD 0.1.1
NM 2.1.13


Looking at the replay, he only got a boot BEHIND the line, should have been no goal. Could be a costly one later, and another shocker from the goalies!

 

[mr_cellotape]

What a howler

 

[TheTrav]

lol yep its official, umpiring has got worse for finals, great.....

 

[ManWithNoName]

WTF is going on with the umpiring this week?

 

[funkyfetlock]

Absolute bloody disgrace. Kangaroos given a goal that was so obviously not a goal. Harvey kicks the ball after it has already gone over the line. What the bloody hell is going on here??

 

[Rob]

By gee the swans are getting reamed by the umpires so far. Field and goal.

All of North's score has come from umpiring errors.

It was actually kicked by a north fella before Harvey got to it...... Goal.

 

[Tapee]

A fraction of the ball was still on the line (or at least was obstructed by the padding) when any contact was made, good decision.

 

[funkyfetlock]

I'm beginning to think the umpires have been influenced by Laidley's disgraceful and completely false allegations earlier in the week.

 

[Choota]

Tassie > West Sydney

 

[rdhopkins2]

Oh deary me! Old chap I've seen it all now! Now Bad Baz has dropped a sitter chest mark.
BAAAAAALL...Syd finally get a free kick for HTB!!

Please please please improve umpires! Nerves are obvious early for both the sides and the umps.

Harveys foot would've carried it across the line before it got away from the foot. Should've been a behind.

 

[stmookeyj]

Another Veszpremi miss....SYD 3-14 NM
