The tackler hit the corner flag, so the touch jugde said he ws out. Then a
penalty was awarded. What for? Well I missed that bit but I caught something
about it being for playing on after the touch judge said out. (How bunce was
going to stop flying through the air I have no idea).

Two forward passes in a row from the camera angle I saw. Might have only been
one, but it wasn't seen by the ref (He was way upfield, totally out of the way
one might say).

Why according to the commentator? Weren't you watching? The ball went from
behind the line when it left campese's hands, and infront of the line when it
was taken. Prett forward if you ask me.

Another thing. I'll be very interested to see how many ockers on the net are up
in arnms about cokers little episode in the second half with the boot going in
and then taking out his frustration on Fitzpatrick when he was seen. Or won't
the ocker media have seen this one?
