As it appears to show Hicks after he has scored.... and not before, the position of his right arm is fairly irrelevant.

You're actually disputing what the person who took the picture has said?

Don't be pedantic.

I didn't realise I was. Hicks gets close to stepping in touch but I don't think he does.

IMO Hicks scores first and then bounces up (photographer snapped at that point)

Yes I realise that. He has his opinion and I have mine.

He is looking through a viewfinder with his other eye closed, so I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

Fair enough

Me neither.

I lied, I actually lost a lot of sleep over this, pouring over TV footage and scouring the interweb for more evidence to back up my opinion.

I still think it was a fair try....just about.

There was a still frame on Sky Sports News from Sunday night with Martin Offiah where you could see the ball carrying arm down, Hicks' right hand on the ground.... then a tiny strip of grass..... then the dead ball line.

I'll concede the bounce theory may have to go out the window though. There was a bounce but perhaps after the shot we've seen on here.

I'm sure the next frame will show the ball down and Hicks' hand/arm on the line but that'll be a split second after the touchdown, IMO.

What's wrong. Sinfield took the two.
