[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1024666, member: 56232"] You know you don't get to just imply "ah you said this decision was wrong but this other wasn't wrong, therefore hypocrite" As the law stands, what LRZ did wasn't a kick and he had knocked it forward prior to that so it is a knock on my law Current interpretation of forward pass is whether it travels forward relative to the passer, not the pitch. As a general rule of thumb, if the passer is not impeded and continues at roughly the same pace, if the pass was level or behind then he will still be in front of the ball when it is caught. George is still in front of Watson when Watson catches the ball which means he must have passed it backwards. The backwards motion relative to the player was illustrated in a demonstration video where a player literally threw the ball backwards over his head but it still travelled forwards relative to the pitch. As nobody could possibly claim the pass itself was forward, that is why going forward relative to the pitch is not used. Video below showing why it would be ridiculous to base it relative to the pitch and not the player. [MEDIA=youtube]lefG94K6PSM[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
