They fell in your favour so much that you won. right ?

Ok fair enough, It was clearly a knock on and the score shouldn't have stood.

Ignore the Deacon incident.

Player (A) attempts a drop goal but misses horribly and the ball sits in the in-goal area. He chases his own kick and grounds the ball.

It's just play on, isn't it, so long as he has not fluffed it on purpose. If he grounds the ball, it's a try. If any other player on his team grounds it, so long as he was behind the player when he fluffed the kick, it's a try.

I think!

Not a chance, he tries for a drop kick, takes and air swing

Drop kick - the kick = drop.

If his foot completely misses the ball then I agree. I was more on about he makes some dud contact, so th eball is nowhere near going over the crossbar but does end up in the in goal area.

then thats playon, yes.

Is the fact that the ball has to strike the floor for a drop kick to count relevant, or am I being a bit thick?

By definition a drop kick is a kick whereby the ball is dropped from the hands (or hand) and is kicked immediately as it rebounds from the ground.
