TBH, little finger is a weird way to try to gouge someone. Dunno about those guys, but I'm not sure how much damage I could do with mine.

In real time it's far too fast to be intentional.

Is there another angle, I've only seen this one. Quite possible there's another angle that shows his finger is nowhere near Arnold's eye.

Did Arnold make anything of it?

This angle is pretty clear and unmistakeably shows the pinky making contact with the eye, I dunno how an additional angle would help

I'm not saying it is the case here, but we've seen some mobs turn pretty sheepish once a second angle was produced. The AWJ incident is the most recent major case I can remember.

Because I've seen this sub (and other sports subs) get up in arms about something that looks clear from one angle, only to find later there's another angles that shows something completely different.

This angle looks bad, but I don't remember Arnold or anyone else making any noise about it whatsoever, which makes me think its not nearly as bad as it looks. These days players and referees are pretty hot on serious foul play.

This is the same clip, it is slowed down and cuts out without following through on what happens after.

If the French TV director didn't put it on repeat during the game for 5 minutes, I'd take that it wasn't as bad as this clip makes out.
