Good morning,
In yesterday's Glasgow v Dragons game: Penalty kick at goal from right of posts, ball is struck well - straight and high, and appears to come down directly on the top of the right side upright, it is deflected slightly to the left and lands over the dead ball line.
Decision?
Bearing in mind the ref is probably in the best position to see the contact with the post, and has a TMO at his disposal.
Ref went with the ARs and awarded the kick.
I'm of the opinion that if it bounces off the top of the post then it can't have passed between the posts? - i.e. no score.
Thanks
