We had to defend bloody hard to keep you to one score! Cas are a good team and when you have a full team you will always be tough to beat.

you need to put your specs on he straightened up when he went to pass thus drawing a defender

Yes, but he was not moving forward with any significant impulse, to affect the flight of the ball - the ball went forward because Chase threw it forward, not because of any momentum imparted from his forward movement.

wrong again, he was ahead of both the ball and the player who caught the ball...hence momentum. Can you get it yet?

Thanks for that. Hopefully we'll be at full strength soon though I wasn't too hopeful we could beat you tonight.

Dear oh dear!

The passer being in front of the catcher at the moment of the catch does not determine the effect of momentum!

If Chase was running forward at 8m/s, it would be reasonable for the ball to also travel forward at 8m/s, if passed directly sideways (we can discuss the effects of resistance later).

He wasn't, it did = forward pass.

no, if he is running and passes and the ball ends up behind its a backwards pass as the ball has travelled backwards in relevance to the player passing....dont have to bring in times, its common sense.

No.

If a player is stationary when passing, then simply put the pass can be judged relative to the ground as there is no momentum imparted on the direction of the ball.

If moving forward, a squarely passed ball, will carry the same forward momentum. This is not a forward pass, as, relative to the passer, the ball has not travelled foward.

What you describe is a player sending a pass forward, but running in front of it before it is caught.

he was already running forward, and yes he run past the balls line thus making it backwards in relativity to the player passing the ball once received. Which is the rule.

And by the way, it is not about times and common sense, it's about velocity and Physics (Newton's First Law).

The flight of the ball is judged relative to the passer, not to where the passer is when the catcher takes the ball.

Chase was not moving forward with the momentukm to legally have made the ball travel as it did, hence a forward pass.

What you describe would allow a player to "quarterback" a pass, as long as he ran forward enough before it was caught.

he was running forward with velocity, he was yards in front of the player when they caught the ball, how fast do you think he is as they were bullet passes. The passer is running forward, passes the ball in a backward motion when moving forward and is the ball ends up in a backwards position in relation to the passer...legit pass.
