But now you're making a distinction between what rules are OK to break and what rules aren't OK to break. Personally I think potentially hurting someone is worse than putting your hand in the way, but ultimately they come to the same thing. It's still breaking the rules. Both are in some ways "morally" wrong or whatever but if it's about breaking the rules and taking a Red to help the team, I don't see where the difference lies. -- "oh my god oh my god a spider just crawled INTO MY KEYBOARD" -pxlated "It just wants some web access." - Ness26 <cite>XIII_rocks posted [p:102695] in So is anyo...

Your hand is not part of the game of soccer outside setting up a free kick or being a goal keeper. But now you're making a distinction between what rules are OK to break and what rules aren't OK to break. Personally I think potentially hurting someone is worse than putting your hand in the way, but ultimately they come to the same thing. It's still breaking the rules. Both are in some ways "morally" wrong or whatever but if it's about breaking the rules and taking a Red to help the team, I don't see where the difference lies. there's a difference between putting your hand in the way and swatting at it as if your hand is a tennis racket tackling is part of the sport and it's not as if she 100% tried to murder her. She dedicated hoping a move wouldn't be made and risked it, smartly. -- *~Swift~* <cite>Swifticuffs posted [p:102698] in So is anyo...

Even though DIRTY tackling is a foul, tackling is not. Intentional, non intentional (body flailing) are always fouls for handballs. The only time a handball is not a foul is if you never acted and it was shot right at it and you're stationary or your hands are to your side. A handball is ALWAYS a foul if you've done something a wrong, a tackle is not since sometimes a tackle can be right, whereas a handball can never be right and the only time it is "right" is if it isn't really a handball since the ball was shot at your hand. to me this is a great distinction. Tackling has been a part of the game for years and unless it's like an American football tackle where the person lunges and destroys the person, it's fair game. A sliding challenge is a sliding challenge. Batting the ball like it's volleyball is a complete bastardization of soccer, period. -- *~Swift~* <cite>Swifticuffs posted [p:102707] in So is anyo...
