Yeah, I'll admitt that part of me enjoyed the Bummers getting done over in the dying minutes, but can anybody tell me why Rampe was allowed to shake the goal post by climbing it without being penalized? Its actually a very specific law of the game, specifically detailed in the rule book about shaking the post during a shot on goal, yet the controlling umpire (who was yelling at Rampe to "Get down") decided not to enforce the rule!
He saw Rampe climbing the post & yelled at him, but then decided not to enforce the rule ... how so?
Why bother having having a rule book if an individual umpire can choose to ignore a clear breach of the rules? It wasn't common sense umpiring to not intervene, it was a clear choice to ignore a rule being broken!
If it had happened to us we would release the hounds ....
Apart from being overjoyed at watching the Bummers players pleading their case to the umpire only to be ignored, its the game I worry about at times like this. Cue the conspiracy theories ....
