I can't understand the point with this one. It seems to add room for subjectivity where is not not necessary. Are they suggesting that some players do leg pulls for reasons other than slowing down the play the ball? If so, what are they? Or are they saying that if a player tried to slow down the play the ball with a leg pull but he is not successful he does not deserve to be penalised? What if it "indirectly" slows down the play the ball - why is a penalty not justified in that case?
