When a concave surface is moving the roll and the glide occur in the same direction and that when a convex surface is moving the roll and glide are opposite.

Here's an example:

If the tibia moves on the femur since it is a concave surface it is said the glide is anterior only; however, is the motion is closed chain and the femur is moving on a stationary tibia then the femur which is a convex surface glides posterior and rolls anterior on the tibia's plateau.

hope this helps!
