We all complain about them, no matter the team. But umpires are an important part of the game, i just wish they stopped acting like an important part of the game. When I umpired for the VAFA years ago, the first rule that was taught was to be forgettable. That means follow the rules to the letter but go about it in a way to not attract attention to yourself. Now it's like a prancing display of dickheadism. Really irks me they way the show pony around like bloody peacocks acting important but doing a halfassed job. But the worst thing is the fact that they are not held accountable for their sometimes eyebrow raising decisions. Why are they allowed to go about their JOBS and continually screw it up? When players screw up they get dropped. If you or I screw up at work there would be consequences. What are their consequences? I think that there should be a a system for them where they "earn" demerit points and when they have accumulated a certain amount then they get suspended. I'm sure i will be shot down but i had to say something. Thoughts?
