The dissent rule, like the deliberate out of bounds rule and many others, requires interpretation. It will never be black and white. I thought it was a poor interpretation of the rule, and I would be screaming blue murder if it was against us. If you listen to the end of the umpire / Whitfield conversation I referred to earlier, Whitfield says. "so that's worth a goal, is it ?", and shakes his head in disbelief. If we're being consistent with the Coniglio decision, that's also dissent IMO, and another free kick should be awarded.
