I believe the police officer was called a "stupid white bastard" to be accurate. This footballer should be forgiven. Curse words or taboo words are stored in our brains at the same location as our fight or flight mechanism. I suspect this statement was out of fear. Simon, you have also...

I think you moved the goalline 90 degrees clockwise from the OPs diagram. His goalline is the botttom of the screen.

Not only that, I can remember Japanese teams bouncing the ball from the throw into l/o, pre lifting days

That is one reason to do it in 15s

Well, um, as I remember, and I do not want to contradict others, it was put in place toward the beginning of lifting in l/o. Hookers would lift the first player in L/O whilst standing in the 5 metre gap. the 2 m away and am back was incorporated to counter this. then without proper...

So are you placing the burden of the 'must" in 18.15 below on the ref, not placing the burden of the "must" on the non throwing team despite the law sanction of a free kick against non throwing team in 18.15? The non-throwing team must have a player between the touchline and the five-metre...

Please read bold above. When, at what point, does the ref ever award the free kick IAW 18.15? prior to throw, at the throw, after ball is caught, when ball isn't caught, or does he play advantage

In bold, is precisely my previous post. Consider, just consider the referrees you see are doing it incorrectly. It is along similar lines as, If you tell a lie long enough eventually it becomes true. It is the bandwagon fallacy. Here is a quick attempt at basis for logic to indentify...

This is an example of something that has been avoided, or unspoken of, or believed so long that it actually became true. i'm referring to players in ruck or maul who are offside yet are still able to compete for possession whilst being in that offside position. Then when someone questions...

As best as i can tell from picture, Fiji has 5 in l/o, OZ has 3. The only real advantage OZ gains is 2 fiji fowards caught at l/o and not in defensive position to defend OZ back play. Perhaps OZ is offending at the throw in to offset misnumbers at l/o. Kind of offsetting infractions...

True that. the game has passed me by, it is someone else's game now. Although I played during lifting in the LO. It really, when you played the game when lifting was forbidden, is really silly and almost absurd.

That is a good question. Is the zombie an anyone? or is the zombie dog? The first zombie is easy, but the zombie dog is not covered in law.

If dog is sleeping, dog is a moving object; if dog is dead, he is fixed object. It is responsibility of touch judge to determine dead or alive during the game. I read this in my touch judge manual 3rd paragraph, 2nd page. It is a dynamic situation and requires compassion for dead...

You know, I had to go to my long term memory. But I think Samoa used a similar tactic on peeling runners from the Welsh line out in '99 world cup. It was an under shoulder bind from the hooker, not above like these. The Samoans would essentially prebind post throw in but well before contact.

I'm still registered, but you had the last laugh (see my halo wearing avatar).
