Quote: Fordy "Reason For Decisionfully aware of the burden of proof required.....The DVD clearly shows that Touch Judge had a good and clear view of the melee and actions of players involved. He was close by and was attentive..."
No it bloody well doesn't - check out the video on Sky Sports website and tell me when at any point in that the Touch Judge can see what is going on on the ground. There are numerous players between him and the incident when this supposedly happened.
I'm not really one for conspiracy theories but this absolutely stinks.'"
You have to question why the tough judge managed to get a good and clear view, 10 days after the event and yet saw nothing to mention in the first hearing
Although Moore may (or may not) have done anything, this incident has a very strange whiff about it and it is diabolical that on a full hearing, the best that they can come up with is the position of the touch judge and yet nothing can be seen on the video.
