Round 14 - Collingwood vs Frankston at Victoria Park

[die4pies]

There is nothing in the rules that says the free's should be equal at the end of a match.

It was clearly one rule for Frankston and another for Collingwood.
The damage was done in the first quarter when Frankston had 10 free kicks to our nil. We were making all the play and everytime it killed our momentum. The game would have been over by quarter time if the umpires paid the clear freekicks our forwards should have got and did not pay the three head high frees to Frankston that were the result of the Frankston defenders ducking their head into the Ceglar, Witts or Wood tackles. Which they did often to milk free kicks during the game.

It was only umpire #9. He clearly had something against Collingwood.

I thought Frankston as club should why they are so pathetic too and the milking of freekicks and on field whinging was just a small part of that.

It didn't matter in the end.

EDIT - BTW. I got soaked to the bone and almost got frost bite in my hands to be as close to the action as I could and looking through a 500mm lens gives a pretty close very of the action. I know what I saw and I know what I heard and it was pathetic.

As I say in nearlly every game collingwood plays there seems to be 1 rule for us and another for the Other side

Thats just your Collingwood glasses Dave. It is not every week and most weeks things balance up OK.

This was extroadinarily bad umpiring and he (#9) demostrated that he had a chip on his shoulder too. It simply should not happen.

how was the electric scoreboard?

Waterlogged

We got it connected and I could ping it. Then I was told that they made a change to it so we could have a game time clock instead of a it just telling the time (which is useless) and this required an 'upgrade' to the laptop.

It is a load of typical local government BS. They should have spent the 50K refurbing the old scoreboard as they agreed to do from the outset the back stabbing bastards.

lol shane. i said it because "john wren" had to stand out in the rain and do it by hand.

aaaah, some of the things we do for the love of the club.
