[QUOTE="C A Iversen, post: 272367"] <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (smartcooky @ Jul 21 2009, 07:54 AM) [url='index.php?act=findpost&pid=405789']<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/url]</div> I'm happy enough with that. Those players were not obstructing anyone, although if you wanted to be pedantic, you could argue that they were in front of the passer/ball and affecting play by limiting options. I'd ping them if they prevented a potential intercept. On the two occasions that their decoy runners did obstruct, Joubert penalised them.

Just seems like he's going down the same kind of road here, albeit more legally. For me it seems to be allowable, but one of those innovations that the game would be better without. [/QUOTE]
