The ref didn't even stop play right away, and presumably only did after the linesman alerted him. But in replays, the far-side linesman didn't raise his flag or do anything - he just kept going with the play as well. So was it the linesman even further from the play? We'll probably never know.

Even with my green and yellow glasses on, I can't help but think that Barton was hard done by on that one.
