@ForTheWinGoLong@byEliHoff Fair Point. I guess you just have to ignore any signals entirely and play it out as a live ball. My biggest issue with the call and explanation is that there was NO indication that the call on the field was actually a fumble (no bean-bag) in real-time.
The official’s signal as we see here makes this an even more interesting play.
College football has a silly rule that an inadvertent signal causes the ball to become dead.
If the ball is then recovered in the immediate continuing action, Replay can award the recovering team the ball at the spot of recovery.
If it is not, because it was ruled a fumble, the offense can either take the ball at the spot of the fumble or repeat the down at the previous spot.
It’s highly subjective but I don’t see this as a clear recovery as players must react immediately and they must be in the vicinity of the loose ball.
@xnoesbueno I'm hardly one to give the current British government the benefit of the doubt, but maybe the catch and release of the original people rounded up was done explicitly to see who they attempted to contact once out to flush out higher ups or in-country operatives who supported them.
@jmarkos3030@ralphDrussoATH The “graphic” on TV at the end of the game was NOT a seperate representation of the stadium game clock (like what they would show in the score bug graphic mid third quarter). It was a Picture in Picture live zoomed-in camera shot of the actual stadium clock.
@royalsreview Correct. Suspended game. Doesn't revert to last inning. Not completed and Royals win. Must be finished. Even if two months from now because of paragraph 2
