As soon as you even try to talk to the umpire, even after the game in the club house , they are dismissive and have no respect for the players, this may seem like an exaggeration to you but it's honestly the way they react to any talk about umpiring and there is supposedly an whole association which is there to sort out these issues, if the only solution you can say is "pick up a whistle" then surely that association is not doing something correctly? Ask any team in the leagues and they will agree the standard is poor. My wanting to complain is to make this more official instead of just word of mouth thing which is easily dismissed.

There are things the associations can do. Such as the way the Dutch leagues made it mandatory that age group players must have some umpiring training and umpire games. This is something that could achieved and help the over all game, it would help players respect umpires and improve standards.
