Stop complaining about the umpires, yes some decisions they may get wrong, but that is part of football. You need to live with it, it goes both ways. Some decisions may be absolute shockers but once again, that's part of the game.
The thing is, the umpires have so many rules crammed into their head and so many interpretations, it is ridiculous.
And let's face it, the game is becoming soft and over umpired. No wonder rugby codes laugh at the AFL for some of the **** that goes on.
Gieschen, Anderson and moreso Demetrio have ruined this game.
And for Demetrio to come out last week and say the game hasn't been any tougher, that is a crock of ****.
Look, the Dogs lost the game last night, but what ****es me off about umpiring is, you can understand when they miss a free kick, but when they pull one out of nowhere, it become absolutely stupid.
They need to show some consistancy, or get rid of some of the rules all together (i.e. chopping of the arms, diving on the ball), it is ridiculous.
