You really are a dead set spanker aren't ya

| Stupid f***ing wankers. Leave the bloody game alone and stop changing the rules whenever it suits. As long as the Caff doesn't do anything illegal to impede his opponent from playing the football then why change the rules? While we're at it, what about a new rule to allow the tagger to be allowed to tag freely without being bullied by the opposition. I watched the replay and Caff was bumped and manhandled at every stoppage by the drug cheats. Oh wait he plays for Collingwood. Forget about it. |

It was amusing to hear the Essensook fans crying as Caff took Watson apart when the game got tropical and the windy hill witches hats got blown away.

It adds to the frustration for all concerned and is unhealthy imo.
The video review of the Cloke goal is contrary to the way the cameras are supposed to be used. If the Field Umpire, Goal Umpire or boundary umpire did not see the touch then it is a goal. End of storey. Since when do umpires review a decision using field cameras due to the protestations of the opposition players. It it continues like this the game will stall and will take 4 hours to complete.
I go to the games so as to get involved and enjoy the game (irrespective of the final result - but a win is a big help). I don't go to feel frustrated and alienated but stupid little men like Razor Ray who thinks he is the star of the show. He is doing his job well when we do not notice him but maintains good control of the game. |
This is the 'Collingwood effect'. I'm sure I can remember plenty of games where players have said they touched the ball and all the umpires on the ground have said, "no, it's a goal," and that was that.
Another new interpretation - and another that negatively affected Collingwood.
Just like the Macaffer tagging.
When will we see a rule change that affects Collingwood positively?
And the sign of good umpiring is when you don't notice it, which happens rarely. |
The only issue I have with the goal review is the use of footage from extra cameras which is not normally what happens. If it can't be detected using the 4x standard review footage, move on. Next you'll have people in the crowd uploading video... just a joke. Yes the extra footage did show the fingers bend following contact with the footy but until the AFL fork out the dosh to install high quality dedicated review cameras at every stadium, we should consistently follow the lowest possible denominator. |

That was my thought at the time also and I as much as said likewise I other threads. I found myself thinking "who's arse have they pulled this footage from". Definitely a little out of the norm.
