[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 910658, member: 72205"] But your not allowed to just grab the ball the ball has to be won fairly in many aspects of.the game this is just another instant of that. Knock ons are generally given to the attacking team a deliberate knock on is usually given to a defending team that has failed to win the ball cleanly. They essentially are stopping the flow of play and spoiling the ball and if it wasnt a penalty offence with a potential YC on offer defenses would be doing it every damn pass. Once you get into was it actually deliberate or not the entire thing becomes very subjective so it make sense in the failed intercept to err on the side of.the attacking team to stop it becoming rampant. That way a defensive player knows the risk of going for the intercept. I think the problem is the phrase deliberate knock on...It's more defender deliberate attempt to handle the ball resulting in a knock on. [/QUOTE]
