The New "Push in the Back" Rule

i didnt see this rule change coming. So if you are being tackled and take a dive and the player ends up on your back its a free kick even when the player does everything he can to avoid forward contact to the back. there were at least three cases of this (all against us) on sunday.

I couldnt believe it!

could someone explain this joke in logic to me?????

Every week there is a new rule that looks crazy that lasts for only one week. This is obviously this week's installment.

Yep it was disgusting, E. But you didn't get the rule quite right. It can only be paid if the tackler is wearing black and white stripes.

with how the new rule has been interpreted we deserved about 5 free kicks on the weekend more then we got. Mostly in forward 50 but of course why would they gift us goals.. Cloke copped 2 or 3. BLAIR got one that was just ridiculous it wasn't paid
