[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 1050491, member: 72977"] I think they did make it clear that if you were a Lions fan it is no try and and if your S.A it is a try. Problem is those moments are often what get people interested and talking. They are also almost impossible to avoid, because no matter which was Jonker decided, it would be controversial and in this case game-changing. For me I think there was no clear and obvious evidence to overturn the decision. I think the pass was forward, but I wouldn't bet money on it. I think Le Roux was possibly just off-side, though you could argue Am's boot was further forward. Again I wouldn't put money on it. Basically, we've seen in football the issue of been too meticulous. It disrupts the flow of the game and leads to more arguments. TMO should be used to correct obvious mistakes or when the officials can't actually see what has happened. In this case there was no obvious evidence to overturn the decision. Now you might say, but they got the correct result. Yes, but now every borderline decision like that has to be checked, if not it's inconsistent. Another TMO in another game might go there is no clear evidence for something that is almost identical. Jonker has set his stall out now, and so can't say there is no obvious evidence in another similar situation because he was willing to make a call here. [/QUOTE]
