I watch a lot of football.Most games in fact.It makes my blood boil watching the games and seeing the umpiring week in and week out.It seems the rules of the game rest on the individual umpires, nothing set in stone, not even in sand.The resultant free kick, or non free kick relies on the lone umpires feelings at that time.One times the same umpire, will penealise for incorrect disposal, yet ten seconds later call play on.
So if one umpire can't get the same result from the same same event, what chance do three have of making the same decisions?
I shudder when I hear those running the game thinking of running with four umpires.It is mind boggling.To me it is just another chance to make more errors.More chance to make the fans of our once great game, even more irate.It woud also add to the number of people to clutter up the game.
I would prefer to see them go back to two umpires.I know that it will be taxing on them, but I also believe that it will make them concentrate more on the game and the decisions they make every game, every week.
To me having three, there are long periods where one umpire is sitting back having a bludge with nothing to do.He loses concentration.When the game comes to him/her, they are not ready for the pressure.
I have never umpired a game,so please don't come at me with that thought.As supporters, spectators, members, of our once great game, we deserve much better than what is dished up every week.I don't think that there is a follower of our game that doesn not think the umpiring had gone way way backwards over the years.
I am not sure if this is the place to air my views, but will be interested to know others feeling.
