Quote: Ferocious Aardvark "snip
Am I making the point any clearer?'"
your point is clear and has already been addressed, for no reason at all you ate defining a 'knock' as any action which isn't a 'throw' you are also deciding there is a ruling where a pass is judged relative to the player and a knock is judged relative to the ground, yet there is nothing in the rules to describe that as being the case, a forward pass is where the ball has been passed forward and a knock is where the ball has been knocked forward, the momentum ruling is simply added clarification, it doest change anything and if I were to be removed the rules would be exactly the same as they are now. Both describe a action (the knock or the pass) causing an effect (the ball going forward) for an offence to be committed the action has to cause the effect, if it doesn't it isn't an offence as described in the rules. In both the tadulala and jjb incidents the action(the knock) wasn't the cause of the effect (the ball going forward) and as per the rules should have been given!
That's one problem with the rule, not even addressing the fact jjb no more ' knocked it than he did pass it, nor does it address whether pass and throw are interchangeable
If we are going to referee it your way, fine, let's put it in the rules, there is no reason not to, just as there is no reason for us to collectively pretend it's in there
