I've never seen a bounce like that before. When dealing with an oblong shape with points, it's amazing the bounces that thing can take. I've seen a kick returner let a ball bounce in front of him and skip over his head. He then turned around to look for it, but when it bounced again, it came BACK over his head a second time. Naturally, he had no chance to pick it up and the kicking team recovered it. It doesn't sound like they used video review on the play. The referee mentioned a "discussion", which meant the head guy talked it over with the two guys under the cross bar. My guess is one of them signalled "no good", but the other one actually saw it bounce off the back bar but waited until everyone got together to discuss it. Good officiating on their part. P.S. Au revoir!
The official line on the review of the FG was that the officials huddled and talked it over and it was not a "booth review" -- but who knows whether they got word from upstairs that they needed to reverse it. Either way, they should change the rule to permit these things to be reviewed -- what if none of the officials had seen it go through? I have updated my profile so as to include an email address for future communications about my quittingness. Sorry, jg, but thanks for the concern.
Since holden couldn't stay away, I'm going to quit. And I'm taking holden's aura with me.
And I'm taking holden's aura with me. Oh, great. Now we'll never get the deposit back. And it was in Euros, dammit!
Oh, are we link dumping now? Then I will submit this: Brodeur's best save of the night of his 500th win.
