Probably helped a bit that we actually shut our mouth a bit and let them do their job and concentrated on the footy. You only generally hear criticism when it comes to umpires but its safe to say that yesterday they did an excellent job
Cheers for that - I'll pass the feedback on to him.
Usually plays for us but can't afford to get an injury at the moment with his work situation. Has helped out and umpired the last couple of weeks. Has been really fair and paid decisions both ways.
It's good when this happens. You only need to get one fair umpire and usually this attitude spills over to his opposite number.
The games where the umpires can see the other guy cheating so has to follow suit to keep it on an even keel are painful.
