Message: [QUOTE="DoctahLexus, post: 2733686, member: 6798"] I imagine players are slightly scared of the unreleasable penalty that comes with diving "towards the mouth of the goal." I'm surprised there hasn't at least been some instances of players simply stepping in to the crease as they put the ball in the goal, which is also now legal under the new dive rule without being a literal dive. But even with that if the step you make in the crease as you put the ball in is towards the goal mouth that would technically be a penalty. I feel like the refs will have tough decisions to make/get seriously chewed out by the fans if they truly try to enforce the rules as they are written. [/QUOTE]
