Message: [QUOTE="Dexter, post: 3057754, member: 1978"] The direction of a pass is relative to the player making it and not to the actual path relative to the ground. A player running towards his opponents’ goal line may throw the ball towards a colleague who is behind him but because of the thrower’s own momentum the ball travels forward relative to the ground. This is not a forward pass as the thrower has not passed the ball forward in relation to himself. This is particularly noticeable when a running player makes a high, lobbed pass This has always been the rule as long as I can remember. There is nothing wrong with the rule just the way it's getting fucked up mostly with flat close passes. I feel a bit for the refs on this one with the speed of the game at ground level it is very difficult to pick up. Combine that with commentators bleating, especially when their team is on the receiving end, and replays which do show up forward passes a lot of the time, they are on a hiding to nothing. [/QUOTE]
