Shouldn't that read "either the ball's initial direction is towards the opponent's goal line or it is not"?
We get ourselves wrapped around the axle on this "arm going forward" bit. It helps to determine whether a pass has started, but whether the pass is forward or backwards depends on something else entirely.
