Tough Situation
Do you think that in this case replay hurt the situation? In previous times, they would say that the refs missed the call, grouse about it for a few days and then move on. With replay, the game now has to be perfectly called.
Regarding replay, I haven't yet seen a good explanation of what is reviewable and what IS NOT reviewable. And, I haven't seen video of the plays, so I'm unable to comment on the calls.
It seems that on the free kick call, the officials on the kicking lines should have seen something (although it's tough to see on onside kicks). On the PI call, the crew may miss a tipped pass, that's life. So, the finality of the calls lay on the doorstep of the replay official and again I'm not sure what was or wasn't reviewable.
Anyone know where to find video on the plays? Crew listing?
I'm last to criticize as I make my own share of mistakes on the field!
