Message: [QUOTE="ethos, post: 2430408, member: 1784"] A chargedown is considered playing at the ball.. I don't want to debate technicalities and end up sounding like AP but a charge down is still considered playing at the ball even though the player may not necessarily have time to move his arms in the direction of the ball. Same deal when players go in for a tackle with the arms, the attacker passes and the ball hits the arms of the defender who is making the tackle - often ruled as playing at the ball even though the defender wouldn't have had time to consciously move his arms in the direction of the ball. To my mind, Inglis, through the whole fumbling movement (of just a second or so), was always in the process of playing at the ball. Can still understand the ruling though. As long as they're consistent, which we know they won't be. So there's no real point anyway.. [/QUOTE]
