[QUOTE="bushytop, post: 948039, member: 56738"] As I originally said when starting this conversation, “I’ve probably got this wrong”... which in relation to the Laumape incident I did, so conversely I was right :p but my confusion stemmed from hearing ‘part’ of the law about knock ons which just confused what is rather a simple rule... and maybe I didn’t explain myself well first up. Though I’d imagine this clear explanation will still be misinterpreted by some... maybe you. For some reason, maybe I only heard part of a conversation, or part of a commentary (or whatever) but the thing that stuck with me was if the ball came off part of the body above the knee and was propelled forwards, it was a knock on. It probably stuck with me because in isolation it stuck out like a sore thumb! As I have been at pains to then go on and fully elaborate on... i then located the full information about what I could partially recall, which is that (& as I said it’s extreme simple, the fact that I only over heard part of it/remembered part of it caused my confusion) that the ball being propelled forwards by a body part above the knee being a knock on ONLY if first touched by the hand or arm. As I said, it’s not overly complicated and the Laumape incident is definitely not a knock on as his hands and arms had nothing to do with it... and the knock on rule is exactly as I thought it was prior to partially hearing/rembering a small part of the rule, which only served to cloud the issue.
