[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 866475, member: 12190"] To reiterate, I find it untenable to bemoan the decision whilst also claiming that what happened at the end of the second test was unjust and that the law needs to be changed. You either believe that referees need more scope to use discretion or apply the adjunct of 'accidental' for situations where reaction time was small, or you don't. You can't pick and choose scenarios when it suits you. What DOES worry me as it has for a while now is some of the referee-assistant and referee-TMO interactions. It's an absolute cluster **** a lot of the time, a frustrating mixture of assistants over stepping their authority and also conversely of TMOs not being able to provide useful input because they don't feel like they can directly challenge a decision. This incident provides more damming evidence, however to be honest I would want to see the original transcript in french myself rather than relying on heresay. [/QUOTE]
