[QUOTE="TRF Mr Fish, post: 531882, member: 20892"] This is a rule that I get a bit frustrated with, for two reasons: a) Judging whether it is intentional or not is obviously difficult b) I don't understand where the rationale comes from b) stems from the fact that it's perfectly legal to knock the ball backwards, to disrupt play, so for the life of me I don't see why knocking it forwards should be any different. It should be called a knock on, like any other knock on that occurs. Knocking it forward/backwards has exactly the same effect, and exactly the same rationale from a player - why should it be any different? Care to discuss? :) [/QUOTE]
