Nah I'm trying to find the exact definition from the FA as my first source was actually from Aussie rules football on wiki(apologies)... does anyone know where we can find it to clear it up once and for all?
If the rules are the same and you simply cannot challenge with a push in the back as I suspect then the force is irrelevant as he definitely doesn't stumble without it(no he didn't trip over himself talk about looking for excuses to dig Stones out, he could have been better placed but it was a foul), Firmino has to get around the front of him our challenge from the side(shoulder to shoulder) unless someone can point out where in the rules it says otherwise I'm not budging on that.
edit: I can't find anything relating to pushes in the back on the FA site, surely their list is incomplete? If it's allowed the I want our players to push every defender in the back and attackers before they go to shoot. Cannot see there not being a rule for that though.
Aha no probs but I'm not budging either! I'm a huge fan of stones and believe we've got a genuine talent there but I criticise if its warranted in this instance.
Think we have an impassse
