Give over people! We need the ball stealing rule in place or games would descend into a farcical game of 'stop the player and steal the ball off him'. I think the rule is fine as it is, it's hardly difficult to officiate with. Mr Alibert had a fine game apart from those mistakes, but anyone with a basic knowledge of physics would know that it is not possible for a knock to be made by a ball carrier whos arm does not move, yet the ball spins out at a hundred miles an hour. They were blatant calls that he interpreted incorrectly.
