Locked: A Whinge About Umpires
Does anyone else think that the standard of umpires is getting worse.
I was fortunate enough to be at the Dome last Tuesday night and happened to catch a glimpse of the centrals vs Sturt game. I could tell that the game was getting very heated and it appeared that the umpires were losing control. One of the centrals players actually pushed a sturt girl using a great deal of force in front of the umpire. Now should this not be a un-sportsman like foul?
Second incident Friday night at North Adelaide. Should umpires be giving the thumbs up to one team when they score and joking around with players? Also if two players are pushing and shoving each other directly in front of an umpire shouldn't the umpire tell them to stop? Also why would the umpire eventually once it almost got out of control give an foul to one player and an un-sportsman like foul to the other?
Where is the consistency?
