[debeau]

Whats HO or JMHO .Humble opinion?
I can see both points of view but whats the definition of an appeal !

Possibly I can see an appeal in that but I have to know that the player knows it is an appeal and not a "force"
It could well be players and coaches in the USA are more knowledgable about the rules .
Maybe next time , after a game you could ask them , just the same as I did .
I emphasise , they had no clue it was an appeal and all thought it was an automatic out .
