If you were a Sachin fan like me you would remember how every non-Indian umpire had the itch to give him out. Same thing playing out but target is entire Indian hockey team, and with even greater consistency.

Dont think there is a way to change the results, is there?

 

Ha ha ha ha... if India had won probably could've happened then to give it to Germans. We don't even get fair umpiring and here you're expecting match result to be changed 

 

Exact same thing happened the last Olympics. Who remembers the horror umpiring in last Olympics SF? It was the exact same story.

Need more Asian and Latino Umpires.

Why is it even a surprise, the tv umpire was a f*in brit. If we expected him to be unbiased after the QF match then the joke is on us.

 

german ump helped the gbr. now gbr ump helped germany.

Think they may officiate better in bronze medal game to take the heat/spotlight off them. Hoping that this demoralizing loss is enough to help Spain win. Or just to placate HI before HIL, anyway the mission to keep gold with goras is a success.

That last hit.. it ll always be in my memory:(

So many overseas victory was denied us because of umpiring. We should have won the 2008 series easily if not for umpiring intervention.

Murali Shreeshankar is not here but in Long jump he would be around 4th in final with his silver medal jump in Asian games 2022.

 

With his PB ( 8.41), he would have been in silver medal position in Olympic.

 

Big miss.

I will always be grateful to Djokovic for smashing the egos of these western goras bad. Faced great hostility but brought them all to their knees in the end.

No point, if countries are not powerful enough the umpires will still bow to goras. Steve Bucknor was Jamaican but always favored Aussies and English.

We should've abandoned the tour instead of just threatening to do so. Combination of Bucknor and Aussies cheating openly was a disgrace.

But he belonged to the Holding and Lloyd generation who themselves didn't like Indians much either. Remember Holding in commentary box and how salty he used to be if India did well?

That Aussie team was still great but no other team in the future will get that much assistance from umpires.

Chomu Holding mocked Indians wearing black arm bands the day after Ajit Wadekar's death in the 2018 tour. 

 

Would that piece of **** have the guts to do the same to Poms or Aussies?

Injury just two months ahead of the Olympics. Surgery.

This just goes on to prove how good India was in Hockey in earlier days when India used to beat these goras with their refs. Shows why they had to change the rules of the game and move to astro turf coz back in the days they couldn't even beat us with the refs.

That's why don't feel bad about WI at all. Let Lloyd beg ICC for money. We should simply turn around and say "Sorry, can't do"

He is the biggest Uncle Tom in cricket.He is happy to serve the queen but if BCCI becomes rich he has a problem.

Cut him some slack lol. Bucknor denied a stone dead lbw against Dhoni in Eng India 2007 first test. India were 9 wickets down and then rain came. India won the series 1-0. He took revenge 8 months later in sydney. 
 

Crooked finger bowden denied a stone dead lbw of pragyan ojha in that famous laxman ishant ojha partnership match against aus. Ojha fooled him by raising his bat. Bowden fell for it i guess. India won the series 2-0. Ojha has taken more than 100 test wickets but he ll always be remembered for that innings
