I know this is going to sound like sour grapes and maybe it is but Johnny Bluenose is not entirely correct. Sure the NK players drank themselves silly and didn't sleep much at all on Saturday night and the All Blacks earned there two goals with hard work and tenacity but we will never know what the fair final result to this semi final would have been thanks to the mother of all asss fukcings the officials laid on NK Hrvat. I would like to think that the officials do not favor any outcome but their behavior in that game was inexplicable. NK tied it just before the half with a clean goal that deflected of an All Black defender to a open NKer running to the far post. Three seconds after the goal the retarted son of a biatch linesman (who cant see our striker getting his ankle steamed through kleats up two feet out of bounds right under his nose but can see me standing out of the designated team area by one foot from thirty yards away) raises his flag after hearing All Blacks whine offside. The scabby ref (see his body) looks over and sees the flag up and doesn't over rule. The NKers were still reeling from this garbage when a secong goal against the flow made things all the more urgent being down two at the half. So with our top striker maimed and our tying goal taken away the ref starts making up new rules. With the All Blacks in a shell and NK coming in waves finally the break thats going to change everything comes as an NK player is dragged down by the arm in the box as he is about to blow it by the goalie at close range. Then, What the Fukc? The ref calls it an indirect free kick on the six because he says it was only obstruction. Then a little later during a scramble in front of the All Black net a defender passes it to his goalie with no chance to do anything but pick up the ball.So he did. The NKers started screaming but were given the play on hand wave. Sur Fukcing real. Congrats to the All Blacks for beating the Dragons in an uber entertaing final. Losing sucks it was really our first loss all year. My point to Bluenose is that there are div 2 teams that can beat those guys.
PS.... You should have heard the scabby ref talking shite up on the balcony during the final with a couple of beers in him about how he thought the All Blacks were the best team all along. I don't know how I restrained myself. I had contemplated requesting Alan who officiated the final to do our semi final game as the 2nd and 3rd game refs we had were sub standard but I didn't as it seemed out of line. If only I had known how bottomless that lake was.
