I've got to agree with that one. Also, I think that the play the ball needs to go back to playing it with the foot, and not just rolling it behind him. This one is maybe just me, but it annoys me on the 20 metre restart when a player taps the ball either a) in the wrong place; or b) with his own players stood in an offside position, and the referee makes them play it again. To me it should be a penalty to the opposition. Offside is offside, regardless, and they all know the rules that there own players have to be behind the 20 for play to commence. I agree with the free play to a degree, but I would like to see it tweeked slightly. ie; as soon as you pass or kick the ball you are deemed to have accepted possession and it's play on from there.

So a player catches the ball a yard or two behind the deadball line but before it bounces, that becomes a goal-line drop out?

But if a player leaves that ball to bounce and it goes to a ballboy or touches someone in the crowd he cannot have a quick tap. So we have pretty much just gotten rid of the quick tap from the twenty?
