    I wont be watching the video tonight after a @@@@ty day at work, but this nails my feelings on it completely KTigers, and its a point a lot of supporters of other teams simply don't seem to get for whatever reason.

    It was a hugely tight, very congested, contested style of football all day. Poor individual umpiring decisions are always galling, especially when a group of them happen in the same game - but the clear differential between the two teams was what I can not understand, and no one has been able to mount a reasonable defence in response to. Such a differential suggests we were vastly more ill disciplined/breaking the rules than the Dogs. My general recollection of the day suggested nothing of the sort.

    A free kick count that more closely reflected the nature of the vast majority of the game (Especially as a few of our frees came very late in the game) and one can only wonder what the result might have been.

    For what its worth, I still remember Dunkley getting kicked in the face by Carey. Not paying a free kick at least (Should have been reported) was again beyond belief.
