[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 865677, member: 40658"] The issue here is that had Poite not gone upstairs for foul play, the penalty would have stand. Neither Poite nor his AR's would have had remarks on the penalty he originally given. The question is that had the TMO footage not been shown, would Garces have asked Poite to change his decision? This is probably the argument that Jones Boy is making, and if so, I tend to agree with him. If this was a court case, and they had to present this to a judge, the TMO footage would be seen as a [I]novus actus interveniens[/I] (new intervening act), which changed the final outcome. And don't say that the TV footage didn't have an effect on the final outcome, because it did. [/QUOTE]
