Shocking Calls

[Dave]

Anyone else see the Zane Kirchner non-try against Scarlets this evening?

Ruled out because of off-the-ball play by Ruddock (I think), but the ref and TMO completely ignore Kirchner being tackled by a swinging arm to the head. Wonder will that come up in the citing commissioner's report . . .

Will find a video if I can.

I'd say a Leinster fan will probably go on the Scarlets forum to lecture them about topics for joking, based on an historical assessment, and then remonstrate about the officiating. It's a logical process.

Some might say Kirchner was lucky to be on the pitch and not to have been yellow carded for his tackle on Priestlands face...

We often see the coaches interviewed at full time. can we not have the officials interviewed as well? I think this would make better viewing than seeing Oakie Doakie gulder on about how brilliant we were in a crap first half.

Can that incident with Hodges and Cannacht not be classed as match-fixing? Can he not be expelled or politly told to pesh aff as he won't be reffin any more matches?

Thats hilarious but frightening at the same time. I can't understand why the defending team just sucked it up.

I'll make that statement Cockers. What's more even Shaggy the thought it was 'borderline'.

Don't get it. What is your point?

I think his point is, it is a shocking call!

The try was disallowed because he lost the ball over the line and they went back to the taking the man out without the ball. So even if he hadn't coughed it up it was going to be called back anyway.

All depends on the question the TMO gets asked...

Just going upstairs to check the grounding!

Neglected to ask by whom

Lol

Think that wins for me.

[Dave]

It's an own try...

[Dave]

It's the team that is defending placing the ball back over the try line for his team mate to clear. The tmo thinks it is the yellow team. There is a bit of yellow on his sleeve but no excuse shocking call!

It may win for you but I watched it and I don't understand his point. What was a shocking call? Really don't understand. Maybe I'm stupid.

Ball set back by the defensive team on their own line... The referee awards a try belilving the ball was placed by the offensive team.... Definitely the worse TMO decision I have ever seen.
