Quote: Barnabus "Yes, I was about to go on a huge rant about the RFL messing with the laws of physics.
I know how the forward pass rule works, thanks. Nothing in there about 'momentum' though. Relative to the pitch and not the other player, yes, of course. It's about the body shape / direction of the hands of the passer in relation to the pitch when the ball leaves their possession.'"
Except herebecause of the thrower’s own momentum the ball travels forward relative to the ground. This is not a forward pass as the thrower has not
passed the ball forward in relation to himself. This is particularly noticeable when a running player makes a high, lobbed pass.
Perhaps you should read the laws first, and then keep hold of that Physics for Dummies book before sending it on to anyone else.
