Couldn't comment, didn't see it.It sounded like a word salad with a ref who knew he'd cocked up but just wanted to escape with phrases like "it was a knock-on with no-one there".
So you think the ref made the right call?
It is a phrase that I have used but only if I think I may have missed something (eg a knock on) that everyone else has seen. If I am confident in a decision I have made there is no way I would say that. I may say "skipper, I understand your point but I saw it differently".However, to say: "If I was wrong I appologise" is NO admission of guilt. It is a phrase I am sure, most if not all, of us have used. It means "that's what I saw IF there was something else going on I'm sorry. Don't read too much into the wording
