I think there's been a bit of an over-reaction from many about the umpiring on the weekend, I'll watch the game again and see if it's any different, but my take was that yep there were a couple we got and shouldn't have, and a couple we gave away that I didn't think were there, all pretty standard stuff that we all experience week-in and week-out.

I actually agree but Sturt do get a shocking run from the men-in white

Come on SP, every club says they get a shocking run from the umps...

They don't just hate Sturt mate...

[sturtpeter]

Phil!

I respect your professionalism as I do PhilH and John N, however, enough .....said.

I would like to see some stats on frees...Spelly?? I reckon Sturt get a very fair run from the umps. Chambers does give away heaps of 25/50m penalties though.

Sorry Pete, but I'm with Phil on this one, most teams fans would believe they get the raw end of the deal, it's part of following the footy

Would have thought that was pretty generous seeing you were 2nd to the ball all day

Pete, so copped a raw deal at least one weekend ... That weekend accounts for the toal discrepancy there, do you think other teams are exempt from such a thing happening at least one weekend of the year?

[sturtpeter]

No!
But..we seem to always have a rawer deal. Maybe we are so good it's a case of....

Just joking of course. Umpires are like us humans. We all have bad days

What does the free kick count mean?

They're not supposed to be even.

He was a disgrace yesterday and should change his last name, it was once revered at Norwood!

Maybe to Splinterdick?

Minus Coopers Round 1??
Why the selective stats SP?

I might go through all the games where Norwood had less frees and add them all up.

Yes, it's amazing Sturt have actually won a game at all this season with all those big nasty men in white picking on them all the time.
