An umpire's key role is to build a good rapport with the players to ensure the game is played in the right spirit; Hair has completely failed to build that rapport with many teams he has officiated over. In Atherton's words, his actions were those of an officious parking meter attendant. I would not expect a sensible, mature, decent human being to act in that manner.

That is incorrect. He has less than two years left on his contract.
