re umpires....
I'm not sure if the rules are different from the mens game, but if a player with the balls attempts to take on a player, instead of trying to dispose of the ball, and they are tackled (legally) then its holding the ball/incorrect disposal. So many times this year a player has tried to take on one of our girls and they might even get around, or fend of one, then they're tackled and its 'play on' or ball up. No. That is wrong.
Head high tackles are also frustrating when they go against you consistently, but to be fair, some of them the umpires are simply in a position where they cannot see them. I'd rather no call, than a 'guess' being wrong.
While we are at it, the Vescio tackle that gave away a free kick (and goal) right on the siren (3/4?) for too high....did anyone else see high contact? Didn't see a replay, but to me there didn't appear to be any high contact at all....like not even on the shoulder. ???
