Quote: shinymcshine "The point is that the onfield descision was TRY.
The VR then had to provide conclusive evidence not to give the try. From all the shots at the time nothing was conclusive to show whether the ball was or wasn't grounded, hence the VR has to go with the onfield decision.
You can debate whether or not the precedence of onfield vs VR calls should be changed , but not that the VR should have disallowed a try when he could'nt tell either way if it had been grounded or not.'"
Richard, you're flogging a horse so dead, even the maggots have left the scene.
No debate on precedence etc is required. Just the possession of at least one normally functioning eye, and being actually bothered to fcking LOOK for whether the ball was actually grounded. Which everyone but you very clearly saw it never was. Stop trying to pretend there was some doubt in this.
What very clearly occurred is the VR forgot to check whether the ball ever was grounded, and in so doing, joined the top-5 all time list of criminal VR cockups.
