She was completely unsighted by the tackler.
The fooking idiot was poorly positioned.

Whose idea was it to can the vid ref that we use to determine a ruling during the season? It'll be a laugh if they bring back the vid ref for next years 9's.

Burton barely touched the guy. The arrogant prick of a ref was trying to look decisive and f**ked it up. Ewan(?) was free to do whatever he wanted with his hands.

Bollocks OP. Burton was reaching for the ball while being extremely careful NOT to impede the guy.

There's being a fan of your team then there's being unreasonable. Burton had his arms around the guy, in live play that'd look exactly like a tackle considering even in slow motion I doubt that's considered playing at the ball.

So how does Burton contest that ball?
You need contested possession. The ball just took a strange bounce is all

He had his arms around the guy AND made contact. Even if for arguments sake we say on the replay it's not so bad in live play making a call like that isn't exactly a robbery.
