[QUOTE="Radian, post: 562464, member: 69370"] Then there is the held not held ruling. Player is tackled knees touch the ground then if tackler holds on to him penalty against the tackler: Not releasing tackled player. If released player jumps up (without ever releasing the ball) then referee rules: Not held. So now what? Should you hold on to player you tackled or should you release him immediately again. Flowing from this mess the 2nd scenario: Player gets tackled then rolls forward another two or three meters clutching the ball firmly. Nobody allowed to tackle him because "he is on the ground and you cannot tackle a player on the ground". Pathetic confusion and the referee ultimately decides which decision he is going to apply pending how he feels at the moment. [/QUOTE]
