True, but that kind of garbage happens all season long and every week of the season

I saw nothing wrong with what he did. The umpire should be fired I guess we will have to agree to disagree, because, honestly, Lawrie should be suspended , period

He clearly made not 1 mistake but 2, it was human nature for the player to be upset and he threw his helmet clearly at the floor which took an unfortunate bounce after...If he is suspended I think the Ump should be for the same period of time as well

Just because someone doesn't do their job right doesn't give you the excuse to go ape garbage on them. Lawrie could of had a reasonable conversation with him, and then shown the tape to the league. Now he'll get suspended, and the ump who was in the wrong wins again. Stupid.

However, the focus now isn't on the bad calls but the bad reaction. I'm sure this ump will tighten it up though from here on out.
