Having an impact
Introduction:
I’ve often been accused of being biased for the umpires. The accusation is right. I believe it is never the umpire’s fault when a club loses a game of football. An umpire can influence a game, which makes them no different to the players. If players and umpires make mistakes they should be reprimanded and dropped if necessary. Singling out an umpire or player for one mistake as being the moment the match was lost is to forget the rest of the game. It’s a team effort, for both players and umpires.
