B.O.G. Trinity Umpire 3,2,1
The umpire that you had on the weekend isn't the one we had in previous years so I cant comment..
I don't generally make comments about umpires. But I have always believed that if there is a mellee. No matter who started it. If you're gonna send 1 player from 1 team off. Then there should also be 1 player from the other team sent off too. Because players don't normally fight themselves. So losing 2 players from our side in the same situation and none from Trinity. Seems very one sided umpiring. Especially when we were all over them in the 3rd quarter to go into the break 2 goals up. In my mind. He ruined a good game. Would have been a ripper last quarter. All it did was give Trinity a 2 player advantage and we couldn't hold on.
A melee generally doesn't start until a third person enters the equation. The third man in is usually the one penalised because he is the one escalating the situation.
