That's crap though.

The ball could be hurtling at 50mph past me towards goal, and because I could stick my leg out and touch it I'm classed as being in control of it?

Bollocks.

If you deliberately impede your opponents path to the ball with no intention of kicking the ball yourself it should be a foul. Regardless of where it is on the pitch and whether you could kick it or not.
