Re: Poorly officiating the offside line

The last thing on AB minds would have been to deliberately fall on the wrong side and give Farrell an easy kick to win the game. You could see the players either lying still to not impede the ball, or rolling when given the opportunity. I personally prefer refs to not dish out soft penalties for su...

Farrell, Lawes and Kerevi.
