Good morning fellow tragics Sorry for leaving a comment and then bolting. I find it wise sometimes not not come on after a game.
Emotion is running high and the wrong things can be said.
I was not blaming the umps for our loss but the comment was because tha game yesterday was hard to watch.
Yesterdays game was typical of what I see week in week out from most sides.
It is poor to watch and I have two lots to blame.
There are too many rotations this causes IMO the rolling mall and as a spectator I am never sure who is on and off at any point in the game. Yesterday I was moaning to myself about a particular player only to realise he was not on the ground a bit hard for the player to contribute when he is on the boundary. Yesterday I noticed twice MFC players get caught by a player coming off the interchange when a couple of seconds earlier the area was clear. Rules committee are to blame.
The second I believe is a result of the first, the Holding the ball / in the back is a disaster, how often do we see five or six players in a scrum and after an interminable time the ump blows the whistle most time this results in a ball up as he has no idea who is at fault.
But every now and then he pulls out a holding the ball decision how I have no idea and almost never an in the back decision.
The game is poor to watch they have got to eliminate all these interchanges or at the very least reduce the number significantly.
Umpire to the rules umpires a few in the back decisions will reduce the diving on the player with the ball.
Here ends my rant
