Looks like he stood on vd Flier’s hand
At first it looked unintentional but I’m not sure
Fuck sake we don’t need this shit - pretty fucking stupid if he thought he would get away with it
It's very hard to say. VD Flier was holding his leg, Ox looks down, then looks up and away and steps on his foot rather casually for what was probably over a second and there is a slight twist as well. Its the length of time that's abit suspicious, I think if it was an accident his would have reacted quicker.
Still not sure if anything can be proved here.
It looked deliberate to me…unfortunately.
At the very beginning he sort of looks down, but probably more towards his knee. than low down at Van's hand. Or he just looked like that, but could see the hand
When he stepped on his hand, he was not looking down. So he either remembered where his hand was and stepped on it sneakily - or it was just a clumsy prop standing on peoples hands
It is marginal, Ox is held, tries to free himself. But he was held that much as Van der flier releases. Don’t think he aimed for his hand, just hovered for a second, he knew what he was doing. Although, he could have put his full wait on the hand.
This is where it gets really grey. In the old days this was fine. You could mountain climb on a guys back. Just not the face. Now, what was the damage to his hand. Is it broken etc. he is also on his heals, knew he stepped on his hand and just stays a bit longer.
Well, will have to wait for the verdict and see if he’ll be sighted. But we don’t need this
So he either remembered where his hand was
It was like literally one second later...even goldfish have memories that long.
Anyway I think it has to be cited within 36 hours of the game which has already expired so I don't think anything will come of it.

Accidental ........................ he's looking at play, only looking down when vdF started bleating.
No way to tell.
Ffs, in the redhot heat of a titanic battle he must wutch where he steps !
How's VDF's paw?...I mean hand?
Interesting video going around showing the Ireland players elbow on the dead ball line when the try was scored
Lol Plum ....a mate showed me
Will see if I can get one online
Dup
The ball touched the pitch in pl ay, before he touched the dead ball line, but it was close.

Saw that on the highlights but it only had the front angle, which makes it hard to see when what hits what and in what order.
On my streaming I’m able to go frame by frame….I have the image up as I watch this. His legs are fine….the ball is down and his elbow appears to be just off the ground, but in any case, an inch inside the line.
If you stopped it an instant later his forward momentum would have had the ball on the ground but his elbow over or on the line.
It was incredibly close and totally not highlighted by the commentators. That said that was a very short in goal area that Hansen misjudged.
