[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1024695, member: 56232"] Yes players have been penalised for backward passes that looked forward, that doesn't mean they should. Someone could rightfully suggest it looked forward but analysis shows it wasn't so that should simply be the end of it. The ref calls were not 49/51 calls at all. Marginal forward passes, being in control on grounding, a foot being in touch, slightly offside. Those are all marginal calls that are frequently missed or can go either way. That wasn't the case with the 2 tries he incorrectly called for Wales, they were huge blunders. As pointed out, this ref has previous doing this too, previously restarting time mid HIA assessment so the sub couldn't get on the pitch. Saying Gauzere probably missed the forward pass isn't defending the French referees, continuing to argue against it when it was shown there actually wasn't a forward pass to miss on the other hand is odd. We explained the difference between forward passes and knock ons and what the law says but you seemed to want to use very different examples to argue it and seem to be driving at the "oh well the game is hard to ref therefore we shouldn't be criticising the ref for huge blunders." It wasn't just one thing that stood it, it was a whole host of things that he was all calling 1 way. At the start we were getting penalised for absolutely everything, he was harsh to the extreme, even taking legal points and penalising us for them. He then adds an intentional choice to yet again mess us about with when he calls time on (having done that to us previously) and then compounds that with yet another blunder in the LRZ case. It's the combination of all of those that mean he definitely should be getting called out. If getting 2 try decisions wrong and being woefully 1 sided in your reffing for a good 30 minutes isn't valid grounds to criticise the reffing then when is? [/QUOTE]
