While there are a few issues that could do with being ironed out in our wonderful game, I think the one that is causing the most controversy is the issue of forward passes - particularly the ones that are missed!

Maybe a more potentially cost effective solution would be to have a mobile overhead camera and use the wonderful geometrical power of modern technology to simply determine the angle of trajectory at the point the ball is thrown.

If the horizontal line is considered to be zero degrees and the pass is zero degrees or less then the pass must level or backwards.

This will also take into account the momentum rule and any angled runs made by the passing player... it also erradicates the need of knowing the position of the receiving player.

Simples really!!

I suppose the real issue would be the cost of installing overhead railings and cables at each ground - but once done it would be there to use whenever SKY rolled into town. That said, I would personally would like to have a video ref at every game (but again, cost and the number of required officials is likely to be problematic - in the short term at least).

But as a principal idea, I think this could be a realistic solution...

Do you agree, or can you think of any more feasible suggestions?

I presume this is to the suggestion and not that you can't think of a better idea?

GPS tracking did occur to me, but I can see this being costly to implement accurately. Could be a long term solution though...

What?
Couln't help laugh at the irony of you asking 'what' and having an avatar of Einstein!! Sorry...

To answer the 'what' question, basic angles really. If the angle from the player is level or backwards then this is a fair pass. The angle can easily be measured from an overhead camera view using the processing power of the modern computer...

Because people have been asking the same question for years. This latest argument came about because of yesterday and has been carried on by those Wigan fans who have conveniently forgotten that a similar pass won them the RL Cup last season. There isn't an answer to it.

Fair point about the forward pass against Wigan, and I did use that as the principal to start this post.

Even so, I have thought for quite a while now that too many are being missed - and appreciate officials are only human. Consequently, could we realistically use modern technology to assist them?

Please can you elaborate as I would like to know your reasoning? Is it the over-use of technology, or do you think there is an acceptable level of tolerance that should be allowable?

I think you're a wind up merchant. You speak the most articulate sloblocks I have ever read.

Are you Sally in disguise?

Edit: I've just read back all your posts, funny as F. Come on, 'fes up.

Edit

Sorry you feel that way - I am honest and genuine, as my previous posts will support. I ask genuine questions seeking genuine comments - and as we all have opinions I always respect replies, even yours!

So, my question remains...
