The best view was from the camera behind the posts as its dead centre. The drop goal should have been allowed but sometimes you get the calls and others you don't. The poor part was not going to the video ref, there was no excuse for that at such a crucial stage of the game.

I just can't believe he didn't go to the video ref. He used him all day and didn't on the most important call of the match.

I think Brough needs to sit down and watch how Luke Walsh executes a drop goal.

They made a reference to the rules in the commentary if I remember right & I think it was Jonathan Davies who said that if the ball goes over level with the post but too high then it is regarded as going over.

Hudds showed lack of composer where we didn't panic.

Walsh was poor today with boot tho.

I only saw the last 20 minutes so can't comment yet on the other video ref decisions. The sending off was correct, but I think it was a tackle that went wrong (no intent) as Ferres was trying to turn Lomax on his back. However it did finish up being dangerous and he should get a minimum three game ban.

He was, but I'll forgive him

How can in line with the post be over. If it was lower and hits the post it may not go over.

The Laws of the Game say if the ball goes over the top of the post it counts as a goal.

Get the feeling he was rushed back and hadn't had much time in practice beforehand. He kicked the one that mattered though

His kick choices were good, but there were a few that were poorly executed - I think they'll pick up again in the next few weeks.

Lance was exceptional, it has to be said.

Lance was new Lance for the first 20 and old Lance for the remaining 60.

However a lot of players struggled today so unfair to single him out for specific criticism.
