TMO Bottling it again!!!

Update: two week ban. Bottled it again, too light IMO.

Indeed not like you can reduce it for good behaviour

Thankfully the player will get his due punishment through the citing officer.

Sadly not. Two weeks is a joke.

So someone warned him off

Simple espn didn't give the correct angles. At half time TMO had seen it all and if they had seen it in time was a RC.
Can only go off what the director shows. So from the explanation I believe they made the best decision on the info they had.

I'd love to see the "angle" the TMO saw.

It was wide on the screen and you could see Tim Payne's knee dropping on an opposition player most of it off screen. It was only from a handheld camera from behind it was shown as contact with a players face. The player was trapped under bodies and defenceless.

Thanks for the insight StA.

Much appreciated, and welcome to the forums.

recommendation had to be red

day in, day out. The most astonishing aspect is the description of the incident given by the TMO. Clear as day RED! Upon hearing

"1 blue clearly drops his knee onto a green player. It is deliberate." ref asks "recommendation" TMO reply "yellow"

sorry, forgot to add the video I posted looks to be exactly the view that the TMO had. He took just 1 the slow-mo replay to make his mind up.

Well Payne did not pull a knife on him so you can understand the reluctance to RED card Payne.
