One of football’s most decorated umpires has warned of the “Big Brother” element creeping into the game and has fears that technology may eventually render goal umpires obsolete.
They include the stage of the game, if the scores are close, whether the goal umpire is out of position and if their view is compromised. Subsequent replays showed the ball didn’t make contact with the post and yet the score was not reviewed by the umpire and the Swans were able to play on from the behind.McInerney, who umpired more than 500 games over the course of 25 years, said the events of last year has clearly impacted the state of umpiring early in 2024.
“The umps have all the power they need. It will be interesting to see what happens in the coming weeks.” “If I was a goal umpire, I’d be saying, ‘I’ll pay the obvious things, everything else can be reviewed’.”
