[QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 2955232, member: 9052"] I clearly stated that contact with the ball constitutes playing at the ball and at that point the defenders can assume possession... and from my recollection there was an attempt to pick it up and at that moment Niko did in fact make contact with the ball. If they start introducing laws to define when a player has possession of the ball you are opening up a can of worms... For example there are times, typically on line breaks, where a player is passed the ball and immediately after or sometimes simultaneously is tackled. Sometimes this player is juggling the ball or otherwise does not have control, yet the defender is able to tackle as soon as they touch it... as it is assumed (by touching it) they have control. Same thing happens with grubbers into the in goal the tackle from a defender on the fullback can be simultaneous at times, but the second the fullback touches the ball it is assumed possession/playing at the ball and they are free game. Sometimes the fullback doesn't have full control so should the defender be penalised for making the tackle?? Sometimes the fullback is tackled after they have clearly attempted to bat it dead... should the defender be penalised for tackling without the ball in those situations as well. Sometimes a prop juggles the ball from a simple one out pass and gets leveled whilst they juggle it... should the defender be penalised because they don't have control. My point is as soon as a player touches it the defender has a right to tackle them (provided it is not a late hit after they've passed, etc.) as it is assumed the player is in control of the ball.
