Perhaps one indicator of intent is what they do immediately after falling over. If that was not their intent, then surely they would immediately try to get up again.

Bray said something similar to that on the radio this evening,
This is what they are looking for. A "cleaner outer" drives a player near the ball over
If he just lays there and is affecting play - ping!
If he gets up and retires onside - play on!

I can live with that. I hope I'm good enough to spot it and remember to wait a second or 2 before putting whistle to mouth.
