Probably right sherm had you been wearing an Avoca jumper you probably would have got a free kick ! Thats because you would have been first to the ball and on the bottom of the pack. By your comment do you think the umpiring cahnged the outcome of the game?
Puma that comment was not made at your club, and no i do not believe they changed the outcome of the game. I have always said you were a good team and u showed us that last saturday.
My statement was directed at the umpires, as i feel at times they are influenced by players opinions on ther field. There were some soft and dubious free kicks given at times and im sure u can attest to that. It just seems at times that if you throw your head around and moan that the whislte will pop up.
I really think that umpires should be held accountable for their actions if they are not up to scracth, just like players are. The standard needs to lift.
As mentioned Puma not a stab at the way u played or we played, just a stab at the umpires. I can see though how you would have interpreted it that way with wording.
I will note though that the inside 50m free kick count was 10-1 Avoca's way. Yes some of them were prob there but your always gonna be up against it when the count is like that.
