I had family at that game and they also felt that 2 point conversion was clearly good. Either way I really feel there is no debating that Clairton Loss this game more than BG won it.

And you parallax usually can be discounted when you have things around the line that you can give a solid depth of where it is actually at. With the picture shown it is clear the ball did cross the line of scrimmage and any official telling you otherwise is just sticking with their coworkers in that situation.

the above pics were done with me standing 20 feet back and 3 feet to the left....he results would be even more exaggerated from about 20 yards and 5 yards to the left.

yes. your situation the bottle is barely touching the line. The football photo the ball looks to be over the line. I'd say based on how close you needed to be to the line to make it look like its touching kinda proves that the ball in the other photo is clearly over the goal line.

Your bottle looks to barely be touching it in the slanted photo...... and is barely not touching it in the straight photo.... The football itself looks to be across it (something bigger than that bottle) and the players around the ball give a solid perception of where it is on the field. That ball crossed the tip of the goal line by at least half the ball! No different in the NFL when you see these plays.

And you unable to put things around that bottle that helps with god's given skill of depth perception... much easier to base the line with 6 bodies all around it instead of having nothing but air there.

you must be one of those people who argue just for the sake of it....IF I put bodies around it the position of the bottle/ball doesn't change...and......I talked to the two refs on the goal line...not their buddies...you lose.
