The fingers never bent back.
"ITS A KNOCK ON AT THE 50 METER LINE"
He didnt touch it with his hands

Video from 2 angles synced at the same time stamp clearly shows gap between his hand and the ball at all times.

Yet people still want to argue it? Even before there was definitive proof he didn't touch it, it was the right decision as the evidence was insufficient to say he didnt.

Different angles gave the illusion it was touching. But that's all it was. Sync them up and you can see the ball bounces off his chest. Then his knee and he grounds it cleanly.

It was a fluke that was far more luck than class. Without doubt. But it was a try.

Even if that grub Peachy didn't touch the ball, this changes the game and at the least it's 16 all

You made week 2 via bullshit

Then Cartwright still scores at the death & we win by 6. You still get to be prom queen. Everyone is happy.

The line drawn in isnt factoring in the rearward angle of the camera (and height) or the fact Greens boot is in the air while the other boots are planted. Its also drawn with the soul purpose of putting the player onside. You can just as easily put him.a foot offside if thats your purpose of drawing the line.

Thats manipulated to make it look one way. Unlike the synced video which actually proves beyond a doubt the bunker was right. The bunker has more angles then we see and can sync them up to make a call. What the fans see isnt what they see.

That video is in frozen frame and made to look synced , it does not show the moment where the merkin had his ring finger at a right angle to his hand

They have to fix the system, the referee has to be given the option to say "I have no idea" because given how many deflections that ball took, no way can he be 100% certain it wasn't a knock on, his on-field decision carries too much weight for mine, there was so much doubt involved in that play how could any referee be so sure
