That's why I compared it to a ref flagging Randy Moss for pass interference if a replay showed him streaking down the sideline unmarked.
In the abstract, yeah, with some refereeing plays, there's no way to know what was going on in the ref's head.
In the specific, there are some plays, that's not the case. The ref didn't see anything because there WASN'T anything.
......................
Intriguing to the objective observer was the fact that Slovenia knew before the play that they had the ref with them.
Hence the 1-way bear-hugs all over the field -- with 4 minutes left -- when in any other circumstances, a foul called on the bear-hugs would have lost the game.
Sorry GL. Yer erring on the naive side o' this one ;- )
