I’ve been puzzling over that one since yesterday. Umpire calls it a goal. Absolutely no evidence to show it was touched on the video that we saw. How on earth does a guy in a room take nearly a minute to make a howler like that. To overturn a decision made onfield no less. Isn’t the reviewer only meant to overturn when there is conclusive evidence?
That one can be put down to 'idiot reviewer'. We had a few of those a couple of years ago.
Whateley's hysterical ramblings about scrapping the whole system should be ignored, simply on the basis that a hell of a lot more wrong calls would have been made if the system (as it currently stands) didn't exist.
Up until this call where a correct on field decision was overturned, all the controversial decisions this year have been a wrong call on field that hasn't been overturned. There was a score review on Saturday where the umpire's call was touched, yet in reality the ball was a foot over the line. Get rid of the review system and we'd be talking a lot more about umpire howlers.
