New Skill: Dirty Block

I watched an NFL match a few days ago, and saw some pretty nasty moves!
That gave me the insiration for this skill:

Dirty Block (general skill):
A player throwing a block with this skill may choose to knock down a defender who has the block skill, when a "both players down" result is rolled. Doing so is highly illegal, and just like a foul will result in both an IGMEOY roll and the refs eye on the team.
Note that Dirty Block will not prevent the attacker from being knocked down himself - you need block skill for that.

Det skulle vel aldrig være kampen på Zulu du så?

I like it but I don't think I would ever choose it as it's a bit too specific, the other player needs to have block before it is useful.

Might be good if you play a lot of Dwarves though.

I dunno, would be a great 3rd skill on a blocker. Or on a blitzer, great for taking out pesky blodgers. Take block, tackle and dirty block and you've negated the blodge completely. The IGMEOY aspect keeps it in some sort of balance.

First impression is I like it.

I don´t like it. But I´m kinda dumb sometimes, you know.

Sounds interesting, don't know if it is really needed, but I would call it 'chop block' which is a highly illigal block in real football (mainly because of the great potential to injure).
