Referees. ..

Could there be a worst pairing of refs? Usually you get a good ref/bad ref combination in a match, but this is a nightmare!

You said it Spud. This IS the bottom of the barrel.
 
HP looks like he is petrified every time he needs to make a decision.
You can see fear in his face.
 
I promised myself I'd only start this thread if we won, because I don't like blaming the refs for a loss.

I've been able to watch more footy this year than recent seasons and I'm sure there are a couple of teams that get the rough end of the pineapple, us being one of them and the Bulldogs the other. Today we saw that we copped it again.

Good example today, Huth gets called offside when the aerial shot showed the whole team back in a dead straight line and not breaking early. I was all for the so called crackdown by the refs, they've shown they can't adjudicate fairly or consistently and have found a new way to lower themselves in the view of most fans.

They are pathetic and the lot of them should be used as tackling bags at training.
 
Some of the "hand on ball" penalties against us were simply made up by Perenara. Yet they got away with so many hand on ball incidents.
 
I almost stopped watching with the knock-on call that clearly went backwards. Another refs game. They pretty much make many games such a joke its not worth watching.
 
I think all fans understand that there will be penalties but when refs nit pick the sh*t out of games for no apparent reason it just becomes frustrating for all other then the dick with the whistle.
 
I expect refs to get it wrong from time to time, but to be so one-sided is astounding.

Generally a team may cop it one week but get the rub of the green the next but Tigers seem to be the unfairly treated most weeks. Not winging just an observation.
 
It makes my blood boil …. Every week we lose the penalty count and after this game it is we have lost 10 of the 12 games.. Surely Coach is talking to them as this is just not good enough..
 
Pretty normal fair by Perenara's standards.
How he hasn't been sacked yet is beyond me. Anybody else who was as bad at their job as he is would have been fired a long time ago.

Both teams copped a number of absolutely shocking decisions.
