Friday Night Footy

Again, another try from a flukey bounce off a bomb....

I ultimately conclude that all forms of gambling is pure genuine luck......i dont give a fuck what anyone says

That is now 12 points off just bullshit,

i mean what the fuck was that 2nd try to Quinn??????

And now this one?

Well well well.....

The under hit, very very very lucky........

That was a bullshit penalty to Tians from the drop out......

6 straight penalties to Titans?

It's so fcuking true that these pink clowns are all about keeping up appearances by ensuring an even'ish penalty count at FT.

Its no secret they're keeping an eye on "Trent", heck they were busted for it a couple of years ago.

It's become like basketball refereeing where the team that's trailing gets whistled back into the game.

They sure had a big influence on tonight's result on the Gold Coast

So what we are saying is this......Disipline wise

Melbourne were perfect in the 1st half, GC disgraceful,

second half, GC were perfect and Melbourne were Disgraceful.....

The line dropout penalty was bullshit at best.....38 secs baby, the channel 9 team counted it at 38 secs, yet a penalty.

I wish there was a caption of someone having wank, i would put 10 of thos on here...

its the way these nit wits go about it that irritates. I mean, they clearly wanted to even the penalty ledger and so they plucked a couple of completely obscure calls from nowhere - ie the 'breaking from the scrum early' call, something we see every weekend all season long, and the most farsical one of the evening - wasting time ahead of the goal line drop out.

The rule is 40 seconds apparently, so as a referee you'd probably give a team 45-50 seconds before you took the extreme step of blowing a penalty 10 metres out in front of the goalposts. But these ass clowns blew it up after 38 seconds !? The Storm hadn't even broken the rule !!

Its those random inconsistencies that really piss players, coaches and fans right off

that's the part thats so infuriating as well. No, infact the most infuriating part nowadays is that you KNOW that sort of stitch up is coming when a home team is down by 12 and behind on the penalty count at halftime.

It's like clockwork, you just know the referees will FIND penalties for team that's down

on the footy show last night I think they ran through at least half a dozen games already this season where teams have won from 16,18 points down.

Certainly makes sense to throw something on a team in that position given their odds generally blow out to near double digits. It's such a tough and even comp that I reckon teams / players tend to look for any chance they can to relax a bit and think "this thing is ours, stay healthy for next week"

before they know it, they've stopped doing the 'one percenters' and the other mob grabs momentum.

Footballers and pro sportsmen in general aren't the brightest sparks, so once the wheels fall off a team they reall tend to fall off
