I agree that if this was called by a ref nowadays it would be immediately ruled a knock-on, ie: a fumble backwards bouncing forward is a knock-on. back then didn't matter if a knock back then bounced forward. -BUT- looking at this clip, see the pitch where Quinn was the moment he got the touch compared to where on the pitch the ball came down: ball travelled forward so seems like a knock-on. tough call though
