Blatant cheating by umpires - “having a ‘mare tonight” (Part 1)

In answer to your question, we don’t want it to happen, but it is a tactic that is well within the current rules. The solution is not to bring in more rules.

It is desperate, negating football full of pressure, typical of finals and l can live with that.
