[TBoyleSuperstar]

We did what your side couldn't. Bed time sonny.

LOL, wow witty retort that one.

Seriously, you won, why boo?? Cheer ya team

 

[heliosp]

weak umpiring. just let the play flow

 

[Rob]

Hey Nic, stop talking so slowly

 

[Electric]

Good win by the umps

 

[BoNeZ]

That was the weirdest game of umpiring ive ever seen.
Atleast it was consistantly weird??

 

[RickSanchez]

'Umps: Give us consistency' --> sign in WC cheer squad. Oh boy

How funny was it?
*shakes head*

 

[BACCS]

Talk about a lot of scared shitless supporters in here...Adelaide, Hawthorn, Weagles who now they wont get an armchair ride from the umps in Melbourne. See you in finals ladies.

LOL yeah, we are the scared ones.

 

[muttweed]

Too bad, tough game.

Would've been way better if Cox wasn't on the end of every WC free I bothered to look at

 

[Stewart2Austin Reborn]

Were they saying 'woo'?

 

[ScreaM.]

****ing pathetic from the umpires in that last qtr, tryed everything possible to try and get Geelong over the line in the end.

 

[RickSanchez]

Actually, to be fair - the umpiring was consistently bad.

 

[T2B_]

Why celebrate when you can boo!

Are they saying boo or Naitabooui

 

[Generalissimo]

The deliberate out of bounds decision against kerr is straight up the worst free kick decision i have ever seen.

What about the one against Lonergan?

 

[hayes]

I swear the umpires start touching themselves whenever they pay an iffy free kick. Can't get enough of themselves.

 

[WCE_phil]

Absolute LOLs at the Weagles crowd booing the umpires. Utterly pathetic armchair ride delivered to the Eagles. Would have lost without a huge boost from the umpires.

take out the ruck infringements which were all there and take out the high tackles our way which were all there and have a look at the free kick count. I still have no ****ing idea what has to happen to darling for him to get a free.

 

[i_need_a_pencil]

Umpires need to get the **** out the games... just leave it alone.

They don't understand that the best games are ones where you don't notice them. Seriously, deliberate out of bounds, stupid ruck infringements and high tackles where the player has deliberately initiated contact (don't get at me about Joel Selwood, he is elite without that stuff so it wouldn't bother me).

The umpires basically dominated that game.

Thought it was a good effort by Geelong though - lots of kids playing, Hawkins injured with the Eagles at home and only lost it in the last 10 minutes. Would take that.

 

[Swarhily]

Main board should be fun this week.

 

[terry_bright]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

the new wce theme song.

 

[Snoozer]

What was the problem 32 free kicks each. Stop you whining.

If you can't see what's wrong with 64 free kicks in a game, I pity you.

 

[Father Jack]

I must say that even I was a bit pissed off when the Hawk went down. The game was ****ed right then, even without the umps demonstrating about 13 different mental illnesses in 100 minutes of footy.

 

[Igloo]

Umpire Pannell is such a piece of dirt. Constant smirk on his face. He loves the attention way too much.

 

[KENT2008]

deliberate

 

[The Karma Bus]

LOL, wow witty retort that one.

Seriously, you won, why boo?? Cheer ya team

They were cheering.. You can actually stop as the umpires leave the ground to rip into them for what was a disgraceful display.. Then carry on enjoying the win.. I don't understand how many can't understand this.. It happens at EVERY ground after a shit umpiring display..

 

[Hoops]

The funny thing is the WC supporters are to blame for those ridiculous Deliberate OOB's. That first one against Geelong where they pleaded for it after it correctly being called on Glass (you just cant step backwards across the boundry line after holding it for a few seconds) caused the umpires to set the standard for the night. and therefore we had the farcical situation that we had.
