The ump should be disciplined for shithouse positioning.
Because generally when there is no one in the goal square in front of them, they generally stand at the centre of the goal and watch the ball sail over their head - that is unless someone is behind them who decides to jump on their head

True.
BUT they are still ment to be aware of their surroundings and allow every player a FAIR run at the ball. The goal umpire clearly hasn't done so here.

Assuming he knew King was behind him. If he did, then yeah, he was in the wrong....

The footage would indicate that he has no idea he's behind him, but to my mind it's up to him to be aware of that.
