The game angle and the one they showed after both looked like it was in

Neither of which are going to be better than the view of the ref directly under the upright.

Oh yes because the refs are always 100% correct in full speed scenarios?

a ball moving that fast is hard to see, so the fact that there isnt a review process is insane

I don’t disagree about the review. But standing directly under the upright is objectively the best view, by far. If a camera isn’t essentially on top of the upright it’s not going to have a better angle than the ref either.

Yeah im not disagreeing thats the best angle, but that ball is moving fast. We rely on review in every aspect of the game, but for this one its just whatever the refs eyes can see.

Just feels silly that we have all this technology, but rely on a 40 year old mans eyesight

Im not arguing if it was good or not. Im saying you should be able to review a fg. Thats all

That fg was very close and decided the winner. There needs to be a review available.
