Jacqui Oatley, the play by play, says that about the flag on the broadcast, but then Marc Klattenberg pipes in and says there was no call on the field when explaining the ruling to let goal stand.
It was not possible for the Assistant Referee to see the play so it would be a complete lack of integrity to for the Assistant Referee to make any call that deserved any deference.
There is no way the assistant referee or the primary referee could claim to have a made a call on the position of the ball relative to the end line that would be due any deference at all.
