Either way, I would be surprised if they win the protest.

They wont win...its pretty stupid really.....you have to think....it takes a slipt second for the ref to react to seeing the ball hit the guys hands....it takes another split second for im to hit the button to start the clock.....of course there will be a delay! There ALWAYS will be due to the human element involved....the protest is stupid.
