Fremantle robbed

[CharlieG]

Open my other eye to what? Deserve?
and you have associated me with class?
What tha?

I'm starting to think I had you confused with someone else.

I said they would have won it if they hadn't tried to wind the clock down in the last.
Even the commentators said they were. If they had of concentrated as they did for the most and attacked it would be a different.
So what exactly are you accusing me of.?

Completely irrelevent. When the match should have ended Fremantle were one point up. FACT. Anything else is self-serving, dishonest spin-doctoring.

 

[Tormented Tiger]

It doesn't matter how the Dockers played or what happened in the game. It's the fact that one of the most ridiculous decisions in football has just happened.

Happens in all grades of football and thats why the game is not over until the controlling umpire blows his whistle. The game is a draw.

 

[The Fireman]

Class associated with St Kilda fans especially Fireman? You got to be kidding me

Do not speak of something you have absolutely no idea about.

 

[YOTC]

I said they would have won it if they hadn't tried to wind the clock down in the last.

What does that have to do with anything? They did win, the time was up, the siren went, the freo players heard it, the emergency umpire heard it. So they did win.

As a Force and Geelong member i have really been ed off in the past 2 weeks with umpires, first the Force match where he got the try but the stupid refs didn't communicate too well and he made the wrong call. Then the Forward pass in the force v cats game in South Africa that wasn't called. And of course the cats being on the wrong end of many calls in the last 2 weeks.

However none of those incidents can even come close to the anger Freo fans must be feeling, there was absolutely no doubt whatsoever about this and heads should roll.

 

[The_Ruffneck]

They won't reverse it IMO , too many problems with the TAB and betting agencies.

Best dockers can hope for is +2 points a gift from the AFL which is the same thing i suppose but i don't think anything is gonna happen.

 

[JuddyisGod]

Cameron Schwab looking very dejected. Kennedy on the phone on the ground now. Hopefully copping a spray.

Quick send a camera crew to the airport and sit next to Tony Jones...or the umpires

we also would have won if the game had ended when it was suppose to face

I dont understand the umpire's reasoning for the Baker free kcik "the ball was not returned to him properly" that's not a free kick that's 50 metres!

Exactly. Another blunder from the pathetic maggots.

 

[Bartram_Class]

I thought the Baker free was for the bump he received after kicking the first point?

But yeh Fremantle were robbed, AFL should change the result but if the umpires didnt hear it, they might not.

 

[Meshugeh]

AFL = The antithesis of a professional organisation!!!!!

The 3 umpires had better find out where their local centrelink office is, because they will be terminated tomorrow.

 

[Frodo]

Youd never guess your a man in his 50's.......

I would


And the umpires got it right by the letter of the law just posted.

No reversal.

 

[stmookeyj]

I think the AFL WILL change the result to a Freo win. The emergency umpire hearing the siren will be how they can do it.

Can He? There's nothing in the laws of the game that allows the Emergency umpire to rule on how a match ended. Only ANY FIELD umpire (assuming that the Emergency umpire is not a Field umpire at the time, which technically he is not) can rule on the end of the game.

Anyone getting stuck into Connolly is a moron, he was restrained and he didnt run onto the ground whilst the game was still going, he was in the box when the siren sounded

But technically, when Baker took his 2nd kick long after the siren sounded (we think), Connolly was on the ground arguing the point with his players from a distance, then had to leace the playing arena while the kick was taken.

 

[ThePope]

I think I heard the siren finally sound when the original Baker kick was in the air heading towards the points.
I'm not sure the siren sounded when Schammer claims to have heard it.
But, the questions that now have to be asked are:
i) how accurate was the Ch 9 clocks
ii) if they are accurate, then the siren should have sounded 1 sec after the ball was bounced (it was about 10 seconds).
iii) who are the timekeepers - are they one per club or one/two "AFL neutral" people... and are they from Melb or locals?

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

Is Fremantle cursed? Seriously look at thier history and now this.

 

[CharlieG]

I'm starting to think I had you confused with someone else.

Actually, I know who it was. Fire. North fan. Anyway, carry on with your pathetic lack of sportsmanship.

 

[stmookeyj]

I thought the Baker free was for the bump he received after kicking the first point?

I thought it was too.

 

[JuddyisGod]

The way they're talking on the radio it sounds very unlikely the AFL will reverse the decision going on a rules of the game basis. But i think the AFL shoudl do what's right.

Steven Icke is still talking to the umpires.

 

[Harvey to Hayes]

we also would have won if the game had ended when it was suppose to face

You sook like your coach.

Remember last year?

Hurts doesn't it? At least you got 2 points.....

 

[Embers]

This mainly has to do with the fact that time keeping is so difficult in this game, this would never happen in a good sport like Soccer.....

Did you see the countdown clock on TV? Schammer called it just after that clock said it was over. I'm satisfied that he and other players heard it.

Completely irrelevent. When the match should have ended Fremantle were one point up. FACT. Anything else is self-serving, dishonest spin-doctoring.

"dishonest spin-doctoring" this is something you could be accused of right now.
When the umpire called game over, score level, FACT.
This is what happens in football and has happened before, did you hear the siren?

I didn't hear the siren at any time, but I've never known the TV clock to be a second out. It's probably fractionally inaccurate, but there's no doubt in my mind that the game should have been over before Baker's kick.

 

[Frodo]

Siren may have gone but the umpires hadn't blown or signalled the end of the game.

Connolly may have to face the consequences of his actions.

 

[Cogz24]

In my opinion the Saints should be awarded the extra points.

1) The whistle went before the siren

2) Freo players impeeding the umpire from bouncing the ball

3) Freo players manhandling the umpire

4) the Fremantle coach being on the field while the game is still in progress

5) Baker should have been awarded the fifty metre penalty.

Have a cry your Fremantle whingers.

Round 21 2005
