Rookie umpires

Yes, I looked and felt foolish. I'll be packing my bag more carefully in future. Hopefully my umpiring was of a higher calibre than my attire.

Actually it was Chris Clarke with me (certainly still not a rookie), not Mike Gibson.

Anon #33124........sounds promising anon, refs shouldn't have an impact on the game and should have the professionalism not to have an impact on the game. I also believe that any ref on any game of this level, should do the job they are paid for, not banter and joke around with players and coaches on one team..........it doesn't look good. Have a chat and a joke after the game not during, as was the case with the umpires that did the Mavs V Bearcats game last night.

I think that when you don't have the resources of experiuenced ref's you can't use them, it would seem you're alone on this one Apu
