That 1st one, does the AUS player get a card? That is ridiculous.

[@bubbamcgullicutty8966]

Yes, very strange umpire decision.

[@alexthompson5275]

That should of been a yellow the first time

[@KO-yz7fz]

Agree

[@alexthompson5275]

The second one should of been a clear yellow

[@oldcentral]

The first one appears to show a penalty corner is awarded for an offence outside the 22. Is that correct?

[@maxvandenberg955]

No the umpire was looking to play advantage, when he couldn’t he gave the free hit and a card. Just a loud whistle means “You cannot do that.”

[@alexthompson5275]

@@maxvandenberg955 the umpire can elect to stop the game and issue a green card to the offending player and if that was inside the 22. that becomes a penalty corner and also green card the offending player as well

[@wutianming]

@@alexthompson5275 It appears that the call was interference on the attacker? That's who got the card.... I thought he was signaling corner as well, at first - it's a trick in the clip....

[@djparr4727]

The signal looks like a stop time from the umpire while he issues a card but because you can only see part of it you think it's a corner.

1:33 thats a yellow card not a green card
