Message: [QUOTE="Libero2, post: 861196, member: 2812"] The phrase is "immediate recovery" meaning that even with whistles blowing, if a guy jumps on the ball, and it was clear no one else could have recovered the ball, his team obtains possession. If Hickey had stopped immediately upon hearing a whistle, an argument could have been made the whistle stopped him recovering the ball, but hickey still went all out after the ball, and never came close to recovering as Minny was on the ball instantly. Hence the "immediate recovery" clause and Minny obtaining posession despite the whistles. [/QUOTE]
