They do, but I would love to sit with the ref watching a video of the play frame by frame and hear him explain how he could possibly arrive at the conclusion that Rashford is not directly involved in the play...
I could accept those, but neither the ref nor his assistant could be sure of Rashford's interference so why not check on the pitchside monitor which is in the technical area?He'd quote the letter of the law and say that nothing Rashford did "impacted on an opponent's ability to play the ball".
The assistant was in front of the GPC stand and Atwell gave the goal after consulting him.
The may be an excuse for giving the goal but not for failure to watch replays.
