@Mike[trampsparadise]
I was well impressed in your interpretations. There were a couple of things that I felt the need to ask you guys about but that was just to make sure everybody was doing the same thing.
The only thing was the no touching the goalie without possession. I feel (like I've already said it on this thread?) like the goalie is in play when the ball is on an intentional direct path to the goal. Treat the goalie like an opponent trying to intercept the ball, you can use your mallet to prevent their mallet reaching the ball, you can check them to prevent them taking control of the ball, etc. etc.
But I wouldn't want to go back and change your view, I doubt there would've been much playing the goalie off the ball anyways, it's not really the European way.
