The latest & greatest news, reviews, scores and players from Field Hockey,
dear Idea is not bad, but whats the fine if umpires make it worse. 2 days back one punjab umpire did it in Gwalior, costing to IOC. in India this is very common, umpires are doing mischief and players paying for that.
I think Players need to be more disciplined on the ground in domestic hockey, as in International matches they never shout on every foul or abuse umpires which is common in domestic tournaments. In future I hope the federation will take necessary steps on this matter. There should be strict rules for the umpires also who purposely commit mistake.
a fair game is always appreciated .
