[QUOTE="ebt, post: 573645, member: 69955"] Thank you for your response. But the point I'm trying to make it that if laws exist, they should be adhered to, or changed to meet the "newer" style of play. As said, footballers with their feet totally over the line, or the ball not in the quadrant at a corner, or a cricketers foot totally past the bowling crease ? It makes a farce of sport to have laws and then have them ignored. Here the extract from the 2013 version - “Stealing” from 9. Once a tackle has been completed, no player shall tackled player take or attempt to take the ball from the tackled player. 10.The play-the-ball shall operate as follows. Release tackled (a)The tackled player shall be immediately released and shall player immediately not be touched until the ball is in play. Regain feet (b)The tackled player shall without delay regain his feet where he was tackled, lift the ball clear of the ground, face his opponent’s goal line and drop or place the ball on the ground in front of his foremost foot. Player marking (c)One opponent may take up the position immediately opposite the tackled player. (d)The tackled player may not play the ball before the players effecting the tackle have had time to clear the ruck. Play with foot (e)[B]When the ball touches the ground it [COLOR="#FF0000"]must[/COLOR] be heeled (i.e. backwards) by the tackled player[/B]. The ball must not be kicked or heeled by the player marking him [/QUOTE]
