In which case, it was a penalty, as the rules clearly state.
An incident notable by its lack of drama - accidental head-butt, penalty awarded, player ok after a little sit down; happy days. |

If all contact with the head should result in a penalty (whether accidental or otherwise) what happens if the ball carrier, slips and catches the defenders knee in the head? Is this then a penalty because contact has been made with the head? Same goes for all accidental head clashes

But nobody's said that "all contact with the head should result in a penalty" so no it shouldn't be a penalty and precisely the same applies to other accidental head clashes unless the ref thinks it was a reckless or careless challenge. To paraphrase monty python - this thread is deceased- it is a non thread. |

Several posters have mentioned Mika made contact with the head, therefore it's a penalty but I agree it's a bit of a pointless thread now, at least he didn't get banned!

30 years watching the game and never seen an accidental head clash penalised before. Guess if you watch the game long enough you will see the ref stuff up in every possible way!

I cant believe Rovers teach their players to tackle with their heads!

The point is Mika has to be more careful when going into a tackle. In the end if he'd attempted to make a "regular" tackle he wouldn't have clashed heads because his back would have been bent to make the tackle.

An unfortunate accident, these things happen. Mika lined him up ok, it was Amor getting his footwork wrong that caused the awkward collision. If Mika had been the one ko'd would Rovers have got a penalty?

15 Misconduct
Definition of misconduct 1. A player is guilty of misconduct if he when effecting or attempting to effect a tackle makes contact with the head or neck of an opponent intentionally, recklessly or carelessly.
No Mika wouldnt have got a penalty because Amor wasnt the player "effecting or attempting to effect a tackle" |

No-ones saying it wasn't an accident. Most high tackles are accidents, they should still be penalised. Mika did line him up, then got it wrong. He also lined up for a big shot, if he'd attempted a regular tackle instead then his head wouldn't have made contact with Amor's. |

But it wasn't a high tackle was it? It was an accidental clash of heads...
www.therfl.co.uk/the-rfl/disciplinary/item?4129
The kind that we (unfortunately) see quite frequently. That don't normally result in penalties.
I was only half watching the Bradford vs Cas game but did I see Jamie Langley getting cleaned up after a head clash? Was there a penalty given for that? |

Semantics aside, it just shows how tough these guys are, and I for one thank each and every player who puts their body on the line every week no matter which club they play for, or in which league.

'Details of Charge / Reason for NF Player makes legitimate attempt to tackle. Accidental head clash'
Seems pretty clear cut to me?
