[QUOTE="eidde, post: 914961, member: 74210"] No one jumps into a tackle. In almost every case they're jumping to try and evade the tackle. The only real reason jumping is any more dangerous than any other way of entering a tackle is that there is more potential for the player to land past the horizontal, which is covered in another rule anyway. The more I think about it, the more I think the attitude should be that if you're able to effect a safe tackle on an airborne player, go for it, but just know that if they land past the horizontal it's an early shower for you. But that leaves attackers free to jump into tackles in the hope of milking a red card. Hecked if I know the answer [/QUOTE]
