Quote wakeyrule="wakeyrule"Let me see if I can find words with few enough syllables for you - IF YOU PASS THE BALL ON THE HALF WAY LINE (WHETHER YOU'RE RUNNING OR NOT) THE BALL SHOULD BE CAUGHT BEHIND THE HALF WAY LINE - unless you're Leeds or Saints.
What I'm saying is that the ball should travel backwards relative to the point of release - and the spectators viewing it! It is still a spectator sport, isn't it...
I appreciate it's a change from the current situation - but that has only cropped up recently, and IMHO fans are getting hacked off with seeing passes that from their point of reference are clearly a yard forward being allowed to stand!'"
MjM didn't mis-understand your post, so no need to re state your intention.
MjM is correct in that applying your interpretation would effectively ban players passing on the run.
