Re: Interesting that TMO and Clancy thought this was just a penalty
Which game is that?
Ah worked it out now. I see the player has been cited. Without watching teh actual coverage I have no idea what was said between the TMO and Clancy. Clancy does not see it live as it is behind him.

What do you find interesting about it?
Its hard to see from the TMO video if contact was made. Its Leinster v Ulster. McFadden cited.

Was pretty clear contact was made from the video and the AR was 5 feet away, Clancy bottled it

I will reserve judgement until anyone is able to provide the actual review footage. Looks like an incident that should have seen the player sent off, but hard to judge without the full review footage.

Re: Interesting that TMO and Clancy thought this was just a penalty
It looks likely that he head butted him in the above video but you cant actually definitively see contact with the head. I'm sure he will get a ban. Dumb from McFadden.

That is the full footage, TMO only had one angle available

It's a case of being 90% sure he made contact with his head, Clancy said there was contact he just wasn't sure where that should have at least been a yellow but it's where the laws are a mess. He tried to headbutt him rewarding him for missing by only missing 10 mins would have been a joke

Clancy says that he and his officiating team can't see the point of contact that the head made....so gives just a penalty.

It was, what irked me though was Clancy saying to the TMO he wasn't sure where contact was made meaning it should have at least been a yellow
The AR needs a kick up the backside for not saying anything given he was staring straight at it but he stood silent while Clancy deliberated. Just a pity Joy Neville was on the other side, she was excellent as an AR all game you could hear her throughout

Should have been a red card. Any result for the citing, I'd have thought he doesn't play again this season.

Re: Interesting that TMO and Clancy thought this was just a penalty
The comments here are ridiculous.
The laws surrounding these things are designed to rid it from the game.
THEREFORE.
The players ability to make or not make contact is irrelevant.
If you are on the field and you decide to go for a headbutt on a player youd eserve to be off.
How on earth are we discussing fine details of contact? In what other area of life would we say 'You tried to do something bad, but messed it up, therefore you are sound, because you never succeeded in the act'.
Ridiculous way to consider the incident.

To be fair you actually cant see with 100% certainty the point of contact even if its likely it was his head.

Anybody with an ounce of shame / self awareness will be able to look inside themselves and admit why McFadden wasn't given a card.

I'd love to see what law you are thinking about when you think the point of contact is relevant. SHould Zidane have stayed on in the 2006 world cup final? Sure he only head butted the chest.

Funniest bit of it all though is Gordon D'Arcy claiming Reidy, who ended up going for a HIA and failing it, was milking it
To be fair every response to the tweet, including from Leinster fans, has told him to go to specsavers and get rid of his blue tinted glasses

Nope I said that it would take away the conflict of interest and potential bias stick that the league keeps getting beaten with away. Now please do not be all marty and spoil this thread with your nonsense.

Personally I hate it when Ulster are given Irish refs and ARs (I’d make the exception for Neville). I see we have Brace, Lacey and Clancy officiating this weekend too ffs

Not long after it at a scrum he called for a reset after McGrath lost his bind, on the reset scrum Kane lost his bind and a penalty is given

Re: Interesting that TMO and Clancy thought this was just a penalty
It's as clear as the imprint of Sean Reidy's teeth on McFaddens forehead that the headbutt was to the face. It wasn't with any force, it didn't phase Reidy but if Clancy even had half a cahone he would have red carded McFadden. He wanted to find every excuse not to and to give a penalty for being 'aggressive' is laughable. Clancy the clampit strickes again.

Agreed, Brace isn't so bad he just has off days like too many others. Lacey and Clancy gives some glaring obvious bad decisions at times against Ulster but Ulsters win rate is still high with them...go figure

Agreed, always wonder why WR see him as a top ref, Lacey too
Used to wonder the same about Barnes but he at least has improved

Bless John Lacey - the man who once gave deliberate offside when Peter Betham picked up a ball that he had knocked on.

If you were asked to bet your life based on the above video that contact was made to the head as opposed to the Ulster player for example drawing his head back in anticipation of a collision would you?
I accept its very likely that it was a headbutt.

I don't think it matters. If a player decides he WANTS to headbutt another player, he shouldn't stay on the field simply because he's incompetant in his actions.

What next, if a player hard as nails doesn't flinch when punched in the face, will a ref reduce the punishment because it didn't seem to hurt the victim much?
Intent is intent!
And the point of the rugby laws is to discourage these things. Not to discourage only successful attempts.

Re: Interesting that TMO and Clancy thought this was just a penalty
It's quite clear. Unfair bias against Leinster shown by Clancy.
Had McFadden been rightfully sent off with a red, Leinster (as teams tend to when given a red) might have tightened up, increased their alertness and actually played with purpose/fear enough to actually win!
Clancy is guilty as f**k!

Pity Ulster didn't do that when Brace sent Matty Rea off earlier in the season after taking a flying knee from a Connacht player

Im playing devils advocate a bit. If I was on the citing commission though I would probably give him a ban based on probability but I wouldn't claim that I was 100% certain there was contact to the head. The intent is clear enough too though.
Intent is important in my view but so is contact.

Are you watching the footage on some kind of miniature screen Collapse?
There is 100% clearly a headbutt and it absolutely contacts the face. There is no doubt, it's not down to pixelation or screen size. It happened under the gaze of the AR who also bottled it IMO (now that's an opinion).
