Ive watched the replay on this many times and honestly do not see a “shove”. Dusty touches the Port defender on his side who immediately puts his hands up and does a Papley dive. The Ump did well to not be conned and in isolation, play on would be the call for that incident. The free kick for Jack for over the shoulder was pretty obvious.
Im not complaining because the best team on the day won the game but a 22-11 free kick count in favour of Port was questionable. I think the “noise of affirmation” might have played a part there.
So Dusty pushes in the back and Jack gets the free :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :angry: . Whilst Jack gets the goal Port got the points; just desserts.

I agree. The complaining about the umpiring in that game by Port supporters and some who falsely claim to be neutral was ridiculous.

Umps have been really bad this year. Hope they don’t influence a GF result like 2016.

Old Dustbin loves the shove. Always gets away with it too. This one dangerous.
