What can you say to this?

Goodbye.

It amazes me that I can sit there in the heat of a close, intense game with my team's season on the line and I just get stopped by decisions which render me speechless and make me shake my head. I thought the free kick against Selwood was a joke and could barely clap the goal. Gieschen admitted it was wrong.
Then I was astounded by the free against Picken. How he can justify it is beyond me. not only didn't he grab him, he absolutely didn't pull him to the ground.

Gieschen is officially now a bigger moron than Razor. If there was any free kick it should go to Liam for holding the man after the ball had already spilled. I am so disgusted with this.

Gah. Nothing can be done about it, but give Liam a big slap on the back.

Wow this makes me mad. What a douche.

I was suprised to even see Dermott on the Sunday footy show say "I don't normally think a bad umpiring decision costs a team a game, but this one did".

Did anyone bother to watch what happened after it?
An Eagles player was going to probably kick a goal anyway.

You don't know that as all the players stopped when the whistle went.

No surprises.

Gieschen just defends is own when it counts and pulls up others when it doesn't like he did with the Cloke one. OK technically it may have been there, may have, but if every little technicality was pulled up the game would never end. The umpiring is a blight on this great game and so are you Gieschen!

Re: Shock news: the Geish defends Razor

It was a crap decision and a crap but we played like crap for the firsat half and during the early part of our comeback we seemed to have a lot of decisions go our way, at least that was my feeling during the game.

Quite right. Our first half cost us the game, not the umpiring decision.

And started running our way in anticipation of a free kick to Picken

Exactlty.

I still can't believe this happened, no matter how many times I have replayed the incident. I still can't see a player being tackled, without the ball and falling over and being pinged for holding the man. If Razor said play on I would have accepted it.

Leash the Geish!

Re: Shock news: the Geish defends Razor

I thought the free was there. The Wet Toast player sold it a little too well and most would have let the game play on, however, I think the Umpire was trying to even things out after the Selwood (was it?) holding the ball, 'wrong' decision, which resulted in a Dogs goal a few minutes before. Unfortunately 2 wrongs don't make a right.

My mate who does not follow the dogs thought it was clearly incorrect (which we all know it was)
