I suppose the key is that this guff about "conclusive proof to overturn the on-field decision" does (or should that be ;should'?) have some wiggle room in it. After all, the VR is nearly always in the best position to judge, with slo-mos and multiple camera angles, compared to the ref's one quick look in real-time.
The ref has sent it upstairs cos he isn't sure. I don't see why the VR's decision should be hobbled by what the on-field official thought *might* have happened.'"
It doesn't work any better in Australia. Remember the Ryan Hall finger tip no try decision! |

| Quote: nohalfbacks "If you had read my previous post you would see that I had acknowledged that it was a try under the rules. That is not the issue. The issue is that there was absolutely no conclusive proof that he had touched the ball with his finger or any other part of his anatomy that mattered. The VR said so. Had that decision been against Wigan would you have been happy with the outcome?'"
Have you watched the replay? The ball deviates as Manfredi's hand slides past it. Either it's a magic ball which moved by itself or he touched it. On first viewing I would have accepted that he probably missed it and that we were awarded the try based on a technicality of Hicks being unable to overturn the ref's decision with conclusive proof, but having watched the replay I just don't see how anyone can argue that he didn't touch it, however lightly, and scored a legitimate try. |

No I didn't even watch the game or the replays. I just made it up! The VR said there was no proof he touched the ball but I suppose you know better. |

So it's not just me then!! I saw it as a try and I too can categorically see the ball change direction. That said, I can't see him touch it which is what Mr Hicks said. The ref must have thought he touched it because he awarded the try. We won, we move on! |

The ball changed direction. If you deny that you're heading into the realm of arguing black is white.

You are the one arguing black is white! I actually don't care whether it was a try or not that is not my issue.
Now run along to bed. It's school in the morning.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

It is, I'll have to be up early to get my kids ready for school before going to work. Now run along yourself and see if you can stop posting about this try that you really don't care about.  |
