I know from where I was sitting (about twenty yards closer to the play than the JI seats, if you were sitting with the home team), you couldn't see the hand ball at all. I initially thought Bolt had been fouled too , as she went to ground following the jump. Just out of curiosity, if you couldn't see the play well enough to see it wasn't a foul, why should you presume it was an inadvertant hand ball? The ref called it immediately and was about 10 yards from the players. I figure he got the best view. I've always thought the reluctance of refs to call fouls in the box in big games puts forwards at a disadvantage and leads to rougher play than would be tolerated elsewhere on the field. I, like you, thought the refereeing was consistant and not biased. Nice summary of the game. Were the WA parents well behaved?
