Free kick count 17-16. Yep of course they were cheating.
Come on wristy, it's not how many you get - it's where & when you get them. More importantly it's the "non decisions" which blatantly favoured port in the second half, which coincided with them getting back in the game & nearly stealing it at the end.
Yep fair enough. But there is a lot of uproar about Monfries but they don't pay that (which I admit is wrong) anymore. I have been crook all weekend so I have seen 4 games and this week the circling umpire pinging the bloke at the bottom seems to have mysteriously vanished (which is good)
They are confusing, hard to follow and inconsistent but I don't think they go out of there way ever to cheat.
Except for the Crows last week
