[QUOTE="The Jones Boy, post: 865670, member: 70721"] So you're saying the material the TMO displayed didn't have any effect on Roman Poite changing his decision oin the penalty he originally gave? Thats where we disagree and thats the break in protocol. Once the genie's out of the bottle... Poite didn't have the courage to make the original decision stand because it could have decided the game, just as a ref decision did in the previous test, but that ref had the courage to stand by his original decision, so he bottled out and actively looked for a way out. Going back to Peyper for another discussion for a decision that 99 times out of 100 would be a straight penalty. No questions asked. The offside was not accidental. You can argue it as much as you like but this was weird and I would happily support a law change away from a penalty to a free kick and keep the game flowing rather than have another situation where the game is stopped for too long over an apparent technicality. I can absolutely see why some folk are hot under the collar about it, just as we would be under a deluge of Lions fans complaints on here had the situation been reversed. Make no bones about that WT.
