Quote: Beverley red "All credit to Walsmlsy quick thinking, but why has the interpretation of a tap changed? If you go back quiet a few years the ball had to be played along the ground (all be a millimetre or so) then picked up this also applied to tap restarts. My point being is that there was a risk involved especially on a wet muddy pitch. Now the game is so fast defences struggle to get set without attackers allowed to take shortcuts.'"
to be fair, cas probably switched off cos 'quick taps' dont happen, like every other stoppage in teh game now, there's a load milling around and shuffling of feet, rather than just getting on with it.
