Thought I would get the weekly umpire bitching thread going early this week.

I have come across some interesting statistics on Bigfooty regarding to the breakdown of free kicks between Collingwood and Essendon over the past few years,

2000
Collingwood 14 - 12
Collingwood 14 - 11

2001
Collingwood 22 - 14
Collingwood 18 - 17

2002
Collingwood 18 - 14
Collingwood 21 - 12

2003
Collingwood 14 - 6
Collingwood 16 - 11

2004
Essendon 16 - 18
Essendon 21 - 24

2005
Collingwood 12- 11
Draw 18 - 18

2006
Collingwood 16 - 11
Collingwood 18 - 12

2007
Collingwood 20 - 10

Total
Collingwood 258 - 201

Make of it what you will.

Interesting. More often than not, especially in recent seasons, if they get more free kicks - they win. Seems very heavily weighted in the filth's favour. Eddie got hold of an ear of someone higher up? The plot thickens.

If you go back another decade it only gets worse. Anzac Day 1996 was the ultimate in umpire crapness. 38-16 & they won by 2 goals.

My prediction is that we will have 0 free kicks paid to half time today and then when the contest is dead the count will even up ending in a 62-14 count to the filth.

Go the Maggots!!!

Why dont you analyse their draw over the last 10 years as well.

No doubt the AFL is doing their numbers and banking on Collingwood to do for the League waht ManUtd has done for the EPL.

I reckon we got a good deal from the umps today, no complaints

yeah today was as good as we have received all year

Only because the AFL wanted a good game. Essendon and Collingwood - the 2 biggest clubs. Have to keep the fans' interest.

Its not about the numbers, becasue sometimes one team might jsut get more free kicks. Its the quality of the decisions paid. If you can prove Essendon got more incorrect decision against them than Collingwood, then you might have something.

Yeah, I'll pay that.
Today ended up 16-15 our way and we still got done by almost 5 goals, so I agree, it does come down a lot to the quality of the decisions. Position comes into that. It may be all square, but one team has got all theirs in their forward half, while the other team gets all theirs in the back half. Something I've noticed a bit with us.

Timing is also a big thing. It seems like the umpires like to give one team a lot of free kicks in the first half, that are very much there, but none to the other team. Then they simply even it up in the second half by paying ones, that are very much there, they didn't pay in the first half. The game is over (or close to it) so the free kicks make little difference.

I'd like to see stats on free kicks to half time and then the final free kick tally. I have a feeling the half time one would be very lop-sided.

The filth won by 29 points, yet their feral supporters still find something to bitch about and, surprise surprise, its the maggots. I don't think us BTers are that bad, are we?

Obviously the author of the thread hasn't got a clue. The free kick count was 16-15 our way. 1 more free kick doesn't make a difference. Even 10 more probably wouldn't have given us the game. Glad some of them have a clue and recognise it.

Morons can't even get Sheeds' name right.... "Sheady"? He's a bigger name in football than Brick Shithouse will ever be and has been a topic in the media for weeks, yet they can't get his name right.

Oh yeah, silly me - they probably can't even read the name of the newspaper, let alone anything in "fine print".

Interesting in another thread they reckon R. Walls hates them and barracked for "bummers"

They umpired very well yesterday. They made them earn a free kick, and let play go on at all costs. Their were some wrong decisions, but you will always get that in matches. Quite a few times their were comments from both supporters saying "good umpiring, just let it go". Of course their were also idiots just screaming after every decision as well....

Yeah, if we're Essenscum, what do they Carlscum? We can't both be the scum.

A few years ago I signed up and had a troll. Quite amusing really. Can't remember what I said, but it must've hit a nerve, they came out firing. I think I got myself banned.

Yes, I found that one rather interesting too. We think he hates us, they think he hates them. Maybe he just hates every team, but everyone thinks he hates their team more. The only one he probably doesn't hate is 16thmond, although, probably just feels sorry for them more than anything.

Hmmmm, less than four frees per game difference over the last 15 games.

Hardly anything to whinge about.

This sort of argument pisses me off anyway. Why the f*** does the free kick count have to be even? What if one team plays dirty, even just for 10 minutes? Or what if one team continuously puts their heads over the footy and gets tackled high?
