The ones that pissed me off at the ground were mostly players getting their heads ripped off and apparently no one doing anything about it. Seemed to piss off others in the crowd too from the reaction.I could sit down and happily explain 90% of decisions and why they were correct.
On reflection they were probably paid as advantage. Certainly one of them was as I've seen it in a 'last five minutes' clip and can hear the umpires mic in the broadcast, but the same is probably true of at least one other instance that turned into a shot at goal.
I wouldn't say the broadcast is always kind to the umpires, but letting the crowd get a bit crazy over umpiring because they don't fully know what is going on is probably not helpful. Next thing the umpires are getting booed and I'm sure for some of them that affects the decisions they make (for better or for worse).
