Als Want Part Of Canadian Football League Game Replayed

The Montreal Alouettes are filing an official protest with the CFL following several officiating decisions that they believe cost them a road game against the B.C. Lions on Friday.

General Manager Jim Popp wants the league to reinstate a fourth-quarter touchdown scored by Avon Cobourne and order both teams to replay the final minute of the game.

The Als lost the game 19-12 but the game would have been tied had Cobourne's touchdown and a potential extra point been allowed.

Popp tells RDS sports channel that a do-over wouldn't be difficult from a logistical standpoint given that B.C. is travelling to Montreal for a weekend game at Molson Stadium.

Popp says that if the league doesn't want replay the game, it could simply declare the result invalid and award a point to each team.

Disputed finish

An officiating error forced the Als to make three attempts at running a third-down play from the Lions' 8-yard line with one minute remaining. Montreal was trailing 19-12 at the time.

Two of the plays, including the one where Cobourne scored, did not count but Director of Officiating Tom Higgins later admitted off-field supervisors made a blatant error.
