[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 806209, member: 40658"] It's certainly an interesting idea, but it will bring in a lot of problems with guys sticking out their arms when making tackles and then preventing the ball from going to the receiving player. Even on certain replays, it's not always clear if that arm was intentionally or accidentally in the way, and it could lead to more incidents where players will be more attent to stick out an arm. For me personally, when the ball touches a player above the hips and the ball goes forward from there, it should be ruled as a knock-on, plain and simple. There is no need to make the laws more complicated than it is already. whether it's touching his hands, shoulder or even his head (Falcon!!), it should be rules as a knock-on. I agree here with you. Accidental offside is something that the referees don't all rule the same. Some give penalties and others give scrums. make it all scrums and keep the game more of a contest. It's damn frustrating to see teams getting penalties awarded for something that wasn't deliberate. Agree here too. And that check check should also be used by more referees. While the check check call is done, play usually continues, so there isn't as much delays as in the past. [/QUOTE]
