| Quote: Chris Dalton "There are two camera angles, one where it looks in, one where it looks out. Understandable for the referee to be mistaken under those circumstances. If he was. We've got hindsight and pictures and we still can't really decide for sure.
The thing is the whole incident has clouded the real issue and allowed Huddersfield to lay the blame on someone else's shoulders.
They are leading at home with time ticking and look fairly comfortable and one of their players does a horror challenge, the kind that can paralyse a player or worse and he rightly gets sent off. They go on to lose the game.
There is your real talking point. Maybe with 13 men they wouldn't need the drop goal in the first place. Direct your anger at the thug Ferres whose actions were not in doubt.
But at least all these controversies have got people talking about the cup again.'"
Was not the ref closer to the posts than the kicker and arguably had a better view? The ref seemed immediately convinced. |

Conspiracy?? Have you been on the sherbet?
I would consider any workings out by anyone to inform us. If they just announce the result, though, without saying how they arrived at it, how can I or anyone check their workings out if I want to test their theory/calculations/conclusions?
How do you know whoever did it is NOT "incompetent"? He or she may have started off with one simple but crucial basic mistake and that led to a suspect result. All I say is you and I have no grounds on which to judge the competency or otherwise of what Sky did. If they told us or showed us their methods, then I'd know and could assess. Maybe they will. I would be very interested and if they had a convincing proof of any conclusion then great! Why would I have any problem with that? I wouldn't!
Quote: Him "Why would you assume anything except the first choice? Is it because that would prove you wrong?'"
FFS. If one thing is fair to say then that is I have assumed nothing. I have tried to provide ways of working it out and produced my calculations and reasons. The entire point of the discussion is to TEST any assumptions, theories or propositions. Why would you have an issue with that?
Your final question is absurd, since I neither have any desire to be "proved right", and since I really don't crave your approval. I just like a technical discussion. During which, incidentally, I have been persuaded to revise my original conclusions, which fact in itself blows a hole in your question, doesn't it?

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

I've been told to stop being theoretical and just let people spout off, so in that respect, it was a try, it was not a knock on and the ref got the call right.

As a Cas fan there is no-one to blame for that defeat apart from the players. I do not have any complaint against the officiating. Saints have now done 3 Yorkshire teams in the last minute, they deserve nothing but credit. |
