Quote: Keiththered "The law is to stop players deliberately heading the ball forward and was introduced to stop players avoiding being tackled with the ball. In this instance the ball hit the head rather than the head hitting the ball and so was play on. The decision was correct.'"
Where does it state any of that? Nothing about deliberate or accidental in the law?
That’s like saying when an attacking player throws a pass and it hits the hand of the defender it should be play on if the defender falls on the ball. But we all know it is given as a knock on.
Same rules apply surely?
