Yesterday's game highlighted my weekly bugbear of umpiring and handballs.
We have all these rule tweaks and umpiring blitzes but the umpires turn a blind eye to the 'impossible' handball from under the body on the ground and many other blatant throws too often. Several from Port yesterday led to goals. Was it Motlop late in third who had one arm pinned threw it to teammate with the other in clear view. The 10 metre scoop that led to an Ebert goal was a disgrace.
Jeff Gieschen reviews the games thoroughly each week and the McLarens and McBurnies etc are regarded as 'leading umpires' yeah right..
