Tickle Final Conversion Attempt : Fri Mar 20, 2009 11:23 pm  

I have already posted this in a thread but wondered if anyone else thought the same as me.

On his final attempt he hit the top of the upright and it was classed as a miss. The ball landed behind the post in the in goal. Now surely this would mean it hit the post and travelled in a backwards direction ie through the posts. If it would have hit the outside of the post it would have landed in the field of play.

It must have been a very close call, maybe impossible to tell, but i find it hard to believe the ball hit the post and travelled away but landed in goal.

Top of the upright is out though I believe, whichever way the ball lands.

Similiar to Cooke's miss in the 2005 semi final.

It was strange, everybody near me thought it was is

Just mentioned this on another thread. We were right behind the sticks. It was in.

If thats the rule then fair enough. Wasn't quite sure on it to be honest

I was sat bang in line with it and it definitely bounced in. And if it had been given we would of been 2 scores clear at that point.

If it was in, it is the biggest farce I have ever heard.

4 officials, one of them most have noticed???

I was sat behind the post and it missed.
