[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 766365, member: 55747"] When you consider movement you must have a frame of reference and specify what that frame is, always. "Forward" is a relative term, so you need to specify forwards in relation to what. Simple example to ilustrate: Lets say you stand still in from of me. From my point of view (my reference) you look still. But from someone standing 3 galaxies away you are moving, and quite fast (earth is moving, galaxies exapanding, etc.etc.). So the frame of reference is the benchmark used against which the movement is measured. Whether a pass is forward or not is to be judged from the player's point of view at the time the pass is executed. If, for whatever reason, that leads to the pass being forward from other points of view (frames of reference, say, where you are standing, or the tv angle shown on TV), that is (or should be) irrelevant.
