I haven't 'dug in', I've stated my view that an official being 'certain' is a myth that gets spouted by Don Goodman and the like. My view isn't going to change because a few people on a message board disagree.

Let's say the debate was around whether it was a corner. If the linesman thought it was a corner but wasn't certain, should he just give a goal kick instead?

Sorry marra, you're probably right. I think I'm conflating two separate view points being the hypothetical decision making of the officials and what the official could or couldn't see in this scenario and basing his decision on that also based on what I can see of the ball not being over the line and the linesman's position meaning, imo, he couldn't possibly have thought the ball was over the line.

I dunno either way, I'm knackered and this debate is for some reason beyond my thinking today.

In retrospect actually, you're right and I'm wrong on this. My bad marra
