[QUOTE="Immenso, post: 915599, member: 74361"] His job is to annoy his readers, so, probably you can assume it's mostly half truths or twisted logic. 1. Lienert-Brown knock-on: Don't know, didn't see it. 2. seven consecutive second half penalties: If it happened the other way he would be writing about persistent infringing, more cards ... bla bla bla. Read the NZ v Arg thread on this site for context when NZ conceded 5 consecutive penalties. 3. Le Roux yellow card. Clear and obvious professional foul. What is up for discussion? Owens' explanantion? What a scandal. 4. South Africa regained possession on their line: Held up in goal. I guess it's maybe techicnally possible to rip a ball clear from someone who has dived over the line and is held up, but I've never seen that ruled before. TBH it was hard for me tell actually what happened, and when and how it ended up on the South African side. It's equally hard for Reason to tell. Reason is poison. Nothing is a barrier to him making a point that will generate clicks. Even out right stating that a referee is a biased cheat or teams are match fixing. His job is resident Englishmen for Fairfax (Stuff) to write a weekly article to annoy his local New Zealand readers. To put it in context. A New Zealander scores a cricket test match triple century lasting 3 days. Reason's weekly article insinuates the Indian opposition were match fixing, because they dropped a catch 1 hour into his 15 hour innings, and looked a bit lethargic by the 12th hour they spent fielding. He's not a crackpot, he a successful cynical troll. But that's the level of crackpot you are entering into if you lap this stuff up. [/QUOTE]
