Accept it and move on, don't make excuses like booing the umps after the siren which is becoming a norm for Port games.
The first 6 weeks of the year the umpiring was as good as it has been for a few years, the last 6 weeks in all games have been terrible.
In the back is simply no longer a free kick. Holding the ball is bullshit again, players going 360° in a tackle, getting tackled to the ground and just shoveling it out is all good, one armed off loads to team mates in close is all good and they still **** it up when a bloke puts his head over the ball and gets jumped on. Chopping of the arms / over the shoulder / hands in the back, where have they gone?
The amount of missed decisions is the most concerning for mine. They've put the whistles away and although you would think it's for the better I don't think it is.The umpiring has taken a backwards step in recent weeks in all games IMO.
