Pre-Play-off Discussion on Reffing; Call for Refs to Meet

If I saw a bike moving backwards before a crash I'm likely to think that you're attempting some sort of crazy block/t-bone, you're not normally going to be involved in playing the ball when moving backwards, etc.

If you were moving backwards to screen the goal (in good time) and someone flew into your bike at crazy speed because they were staring at the floor then the attacker is likely to be to blame: "look up", etc, trickier to call though.

Okay, I think I agree with you still. You're not describing intention, just placing fault. I agree with that. (I.e., you're not saying in the second case that they meant to do it, therefore they are at fault, but they were responsible for the accident, and that is why they should be penalized).

My original question was why would a reverse t-bone be an automatic sin bin, but a normal not be? A t-bone is a t-bone. If you as a ref think that is a sinbinable offence, they should all be sinbinable offences. Not 100% of the time for condition A, but only a tapout for condition B.
