It is not individual umpiring errors which annoy me, we are all human after all. It is the way the "interpretations" change each week. I heard a commentator saying that the players watch the Friday game to see how the rules are being interpreted this week. This situation is preposterous. This constant tweaking to stay ahead of player and team tactics is unnecessary and feels like a bunch of non-players trying to have their influence over how the game is played. Those on the field and those in the coaching box are the custodians of the game, not the administrators in Melbourne or Jeff Gieshen.
