But that doesn't mean it was forward. Read Cherry.Pie's post you have quoted.

It was forward. If you look at the replay - look at where the Hodgson was when he passes the ball and then where Joel Monaghan was when he caught it. How anyone can say that wasn't forward is beyond me.

Read what Cherry.Pie wrote! It explains it very well.

It does yes. The pass was still forward though

I agree - but it doesn't change the fact it was forward

I'll check it tomorrow and get back to you.

Hodgson was about 13 or 14 metres from the try line when he passed the ball. Monaghan was about 6 or 7 metres from the line when he caught it. How is that not a forward pass?

I understand what cherry pie is saying but you could say if you knock on but run past the ball before it hits the floor it has gone backswards in relation to wear the player who knocked on is stood.

I'm not saying it was forward but Eli Manning would have been proud of that one!

I would say about 10 yards forward. The lines are there to help in stuff like this.

Wire certainly didn't need any help yesterday, as we were woeful. But I thought some of Gansons calls were awful.

But in particular this forward pass. What was the linesman thinking/doing ? He was right there, less than a couple of yards away, but failed to notice it.

Our refs are dire but the linesmen ?

It wouldn't matter a jot if they weren't there IMHO, as they do nothing except adjudge goalkicks.

The refs need the support of the linesmen, and they are not getting any.
