[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 652414, member: 24910"] I think William18 addresses this particular question. As he points out perhaps the meaning of Ayoub's statements have been misconstrued. His comments about whose arm it was under the ball clearly confused the referee (and me!), but perhaps he was just trying to expand on what the referee had seen. Why he thought it was necessary to do this I'm not quite sure, as it completely confused the situation. He seemed to be agreeing that there was an arm under the ball, but still recommended a try be awarded (and I'm sure he's not [I]that [/I]stupid). If he had simply said something alone the lines of "I'm not 100% convinced it didn't touch the ground at some stage" (which I assume was his reasoning for awarding a try) there would have been less of an issue. I wouldn't have agreed with him, but at least it would have made some sort of sense! [/QUOTE]
