Quote: Saddened! "Trust me, with the technology Sky have, they can rule on forward passes. Forward passes are basic geometry and it can easily be calculated. They can take the effect of camera angles into account and work it out. They probably haven't looked at it yet, but its definitely possible. It would be very easy for example to have a line perpendicular to the touch lines following the ball carrier, when he passes they can see which side of the line it's on. Easy for someone with Sky's technology to do.

It's not as simple as you're making out. In a textbook situation, yes, it is basic geometry. But there are so many variables. Using some technology to superimpose digital lines on the pitch could be done, but that's no help when players can pass foward relative to the pitch due to them imparting their own forward velocity onto the ball
