Nothing until something else happens.

Well, being newer to the forum, I was not aware that this issue had been discussed. I found it while reading my case book and thought it was an interesting nuance that doesn't happen every day. If all we talked about was the stuff that happened all the time, it would be boring. It's the interesting, unique stuff that happens in life that makes life interesting!

No reason to ask forgiveness. Most of us agree.

You missed the point (at least I was making). I think officials on and off this forum worry too much about things that will likely never happen. That does not mean these things should not be discussed. But it does make some of these things annoying when we have some conversations about officials that miss the regular or routine plays. And I have read recently many threads on just this topic alone and it has not happen to most of us even one time. You do not need to apologize, but I do not dismiss those that feel this gets silly at some point.

Peace

I vote that this rule and the rule where you can free kick after a fair catch should be eliminated from the rule book...they are just taking up precious space and ink in my rule book...IMO!
