[QUOTE="Morkel, post: 3057743, member: 8215"] I'm not sure people realise how fast players cover ground and therefore how far a ball would travel forward at that speed as opposed to from a stationery position. Take this one which seems to have been debated elsewhere: [IMG]http://resources2.news.com.au/images/2013/05/11/1226639/938306-manu-vatuvei.gif[/IMG] It looks forward to me, but if you break it down, it's not even close to what "momentum" would allow for. Let's just say that the person who passes the ball is doing 30kph, and the pass here takes exactly 1 second from leaving the hands to being caught. At 30kph, in 1 second, a person would run approx 8.3 metres. As per these stills though, you'll see the ball hasn't travelled even close to that far forward: [ATTACH type="full" alt="5831"]5831[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="5832"]5832[/ATTACH] So, allowing for momentum, and "backwards off the hands", the pass could technically be caught as far ahead as the below diagram, and still be legal. [ATTACH type="full" alt="5833"]5833[/ATTACH] Hence why I don't think viewers will believe that it's acceptable. [/QUOTE]
