yeah but did i say anything about throwing it directly fom sticks to sticks direction............


and actually yeah i do understand how the momentum rule works, we have been on the recieving end of one against leeds ... it is a rule that should never of been introduced, as it open to to much iterpretation as to what is considered momentum and what is forward and should be dropped again. it creates too much inconsistency from refs as to what to deem forward or momentum

You just don't know when to stop, your like a kid in a playground that can't have his own way

When he finally crawls out of Justins booty I'll be sure to ask him

You seem to be getting upset my friend. Just relax and remember that whilst you may be completely wrong in this discussion you still won the match

worked in beverley for seven years would not want to live there thanks

I still work there. It really is the local place for local people.

Being on the receiving end of something does not mean you understand it. Your comment about sticks to sticks sums it up really. Even if you threw it from corner to corner, your players would still have to be faster than Usain Bolt to stay in front of it!

You do realise how far backwards a pass would have to be to be backwards relative to the ground should a player want to pass the ball whilst on the move at high speed, don't you? After all, that is a HUGE part of the attractiveness of RL: speed.

Unless you want RL players to have to stand still every time they pass the ball to guarantee it has no momentum? That would be a very boring and slow game.

The momentum rule is perfectly justified, just like any rule should be. The only people that don't like it are the ones that don't understand what momentum is. Why should we lower ourselves because a few nitwits don't understand the rules?

lighten up fella, i`m just taking the pee

and as it happens you can easily throw a ball about 50 yards diagonally at speed and still be in front of the person recieving the ball quite comfortably if you have two players of a similar speed, and i`m sorry mate but name calling just makes you look silly....

a better man rises above doing silly things like name calling

or tory boys

I am light mate, thanks! I watched a great game and Hull put out a good performance for the first time in a long while. I don't think we should have won, but the pass was definitely not forward, and I will defend that point.

So you don't think it should be changed? I don't understand where the joke is?


I think this demonstrates that you still don't understand how the momentum rule works.

Just to put things into perspective, Usain Bolt ran at about 10.5m/s when he broke the WR. Say he runs at this speed and throws a flat pass the width of the field, and it takes about 5 seconds to travel touchline to touchline, the ball would travel 52.5m forward due to momentum. Now, you are either saying it is easy to throw the ball the width of the pitch at the speed of the fastest man in the world, or you do not understand the momentum rule.




I was referring to the people that want to change the rules because they don't understand them rather than the people who just genuinely don't understand them but don't really care (which would be harsh). I find it stupid and silly that someone would rather change a rule than attempt to understand it harder, and so stand by calling them nit wits (which is what a nit wit is, a stupid or silly person!). It's not like I was calling them a to$$er
