I don't quite get why this thread has become a target for you, Rowan? I don't beleive for a second you actually laugh at any of these. A thread of political/satirical wouldn't be an awful idea, though if you genuinely believe the rhetoric of these posts then surely they're not funny, they're quite depressing?

It's like watching the world's worst political cartoonist try and save a career using Google images.

It's an odd one. It doesn't come under a specific law, but in the definitions.

Kick: A kick is made by hitting the ball with any part of the leg or foot, except the heel,
from the toe to the knee but not including the knee; a kick must move the ball a visible
distance out of the hand, or along the ground.

I can't remember exactly when it was changed, but it was a fair few years ago now.

Didn't Carlos Spencer get penalized several times in a game once (v SA??) for kneeing the ball forward as a tactic to get beyond a particularly flat defence? The referee in that game adjudged it a knock-on or lost forward or something.

Paul Turner used to do that. Can't remember him getting pinged for it.

I don't remember that, but it's possible. Kneeing the ball for a quick penalty was quite fashionable for a while, and I think I was still playing when the change in the definition took effect, so that would make it before 2008.

Edit: Just found a 2003 edition of the laws, and the definition of the Kick is the same, so it goes back further than I thought.

I think I was still in NZ at the time, so we're probably talking late 90s. As I recall the consensus was the ref had got it right, though it had seemed a little pedantic.

Think you're right. Late 90s. I was definitely back in Scotland, so after 96. No idea why it was changed.
