This to some extent is a you have to be there but I will try and explain it as best as I can.
Attacker is running forward with the ball. Defender slides in both feet on the ground from the side ahead of the attacker by a yard or two to block the ball. The attacker sees the defender coming and chips the ball up forward. The defender makes no contact with the ball. The attacker now has the option, ability and enough time to skip over the defender’s feet in front of him but continues on his normal run and is tripped by the defender (or you could say gets himself tripped by the defender).
Is this a trip, play on or a dive?
Would it be any different if it was in the PA (you know.. you have to be sure for a pen and all that)?
