Is this the worse non-penalty call ever?

    Apologies if this was posted already(I did a search but nothing found).

    I'm sure you've seen it already. Womens World Cup a few days ago, Australia on the attack against Equatorial Guinea, they hit the post, defender simply picks up the ball and tosses it back to the goalkeeper.

    WTF was the ref thinking?

    To be honest she's a better keeper than most of the others on display in the tournament. Cant believe she managed to catch AND hold on to the ball.

    When chicks are playing they can get away with certain things.

    This was a real-life 'kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse' moment. It was so implausible for someone to have handled so blatantly that the referees brain blanked it out completely.
    Only when she saw a big 10foot by 10foot photo* of it later did the ref believe it.


    Or it might have been a TV replay.

    Did the referee give offside as a cover story? Or did the game restart in the hands of the keeper:eek:
