It’s part of the game.
Players make more mistakes than umpires.
You can live with umpires mistakes.
I can’t live with blatant cheating by the umpires
Do you honestly believe though that the umpires were given a direction or sat there and discussed they were going to give Collingwood all the 50/50 decisions on the day over Essendon.
Big difference between cheating and coincidental mistakes.
They weren’t 50/50 decisions.
There were 3 occasions where Collingwood players stopped as they knew it was a free against them and the umpires let it go.
Some of the non calls against Collingwood were that blatant that if it isn’t cheating they are blind and shouldn’t umpire another game regardless
The point still stands
Do you think the umps sat there and literally discussed favouring Collingwood with decisions.
