Having only just had a chance to have a look at the replay, I've got to say that Hull have a reason to be upset.
But, it's only Hull so no worries.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

The replay merely demonstrates why video refs should not make judgements on forward passes. From the tv gantry, there is an argument that it was a flat pass. From where I was stood, level with the 20 m line, it was as clear as day.
I concede that most weekends would see passes like that go unpunished, and that Silverwood is not known for his forward pass spotting ability. However, on this occasion he was correct. I would have been knobbed off if he had allowed it, but not in the least bit surprised.

And there is our argument in a nutshell. Silverwood and others don't see half the passes that fans see, yet all of sudden he has 20/20 vision and sees one at a crucial part of the game.
The inconsistency of the reffing is appalling as some teams (Salford vi Us in the cup, Leeds etc) get away with murder. I wonder, if Keiron Cunningham had passed it to Raynor, whether it would have been called forward
Anyway, all water under the bridge now and you have to admit it was a decent piece of play from us (for once)

1st Hull fan on here to admit it was a forward pass. Well done mate.

I agree with you, TV angles do make things appear different.
Tansey's try looked offside from one camera looking along the line, the camera on the other side of the pitch made it look like he was onside, which he was.
Why we can't invest in some similar technology to Hawk Eye in tennis is beyond me when margins are so tight.

As has been said many times, the fact the ball may have travelled forward in relation to the pitch does not make it a forward pass.

Maybe when some you "hard of understanding" types get the point, he'll be able to have a rest. You'll be telling me Rovers are in vigorous financial health next.

From the view I had it was flat. Hall's hands were pointing backwards and the ref was about 2 metres behind the play.
