To make it easier for their pea brains should just be any kick that is not touched and that does not have a player within 20 metres of it is a free to the opposition. Need to take the thinking out of it cause they have no feel for the game these blokes.
For every deliberate decision, the umpire should have to replicate it in the same circumstances to prove it was deliberate.
If an umpire managed to even get the ball to touch his foot trying to exectute that same manouver, i'd be very impressed. To suggest he had enough skill to deliberately kick it where he wanted to is very much far fetched.
