Well it's not the first time it's happened to us this season! What the referees have got to remember is that they have the final say and if he didn't think it was a penalty no amount of flag waving by a blind linesman should change his mind. Same old story though, rubbish officials and strikers missing sitters.
The ref should have had the honesty to go with his initial decision to play on but being the spineless **** that he and all refs are he bottled it and took his lino's word for it. Our strikers and the officials are tossers
RE: if the ref didnt see it then he has to go with his linesman said on radio dee daa though that the ref waved play on after the ball hit Kozzie
Doesnt mean he saw it though, waving play on could very well mean he saw nothing so play on, then the linesman flags and the reg goes with what his assistant sees. If the ref points to his chest indicating he saw the ball hit the chest not the arm and then allows the linesman to overrule him thats a different matter and i hate when they do that.
