Re: Incorrect (IMHO) BWP interference call, some have mentioned recent Smalling v Hart (youtu.be/PmXbkCZhhxc) and 2010 Moreno v Seitz (youtu.be/hYJdQcJDVAM). Not the same scenario. There, both are players interfering with a punt. Again, this is a time where the goalkeeper is vulnerable and there could be injury. This is also the intended translation of the throw the ball advice, IMHO. Here, BWP shadows Shuttleworth, and doesnt force him to change direction or target. He doesnt interfere with the release. He just anticipates where ball will be. If PRO Referees feels this is a correct call, it is a bridge too far towards nanny-state refereeing.
