The big concern for me is they felt comfortable doing it. Which usually means its not the first time. Just horrible behaviour.
Interesting post on facebook from one of the umpires on the day regarding the incident and the day in general.
"For a club this is absolutely disgusting from Knox. As an EFNL official I was there all day and coped nothing but abuse all day from Knox starting from 8:50 in the u19’s all the way till 2:20 in the seniors ON and OFF the field (also trying to leave the venue after the games) and I may not have been appointed the women’s game but I stuck around as I had staggered games across the day at Donvale but those umpires in the women’s game couldn’t catch a break from Knox either. This also stems down into the junior club of Knox’s players, officials and spectators aswell.
This is unacceptable!"
