Just watched the replay of both Youngs incidents.
1. When he went the bump, Eleni played a free kick against for High contact. - There was no high contact. She guessed and she was wrong.
2. When Young got tunnelled, the umpire that paid the 50m did not even see it.
He was looking left and said it was a free kick from downfield.....he then looked right at where the ball ended up from the kick and then he looked at Young laying on the ground and immediately paid a 50.
He simply guessed at what happened. In this instance he was right....but he guessed nonetheless.
Both examples of poor umpiring decisions and guessing.
