You’re refereeing entirely on outcomeIncludes but not restricted to punching someone in the face & knocking them out
As do most refs. You can slide in at pace and tackle cleanly & fairly, depending on your angle of approach & where the other player is in relation to you & its not even a foul. Do the exact same action but clean a player out & its a red.You’re refereeing entirely on outcome
I know what I’m saying is controversial. But change isn’t always a bad thing.Is the keeper just supposed to let him head the ball unchallenged?
It's an unfortunate mishap. It happens.
Folk on here would have the game done away with.
So should we outlaw punching? Excessive is doing something over the top, like trying to smash someone like O’Nien or going in studs up, as there’s no need to do either.
What an absolute load of shit.I know what I’m saying is controversial. But change isn’t always a bad thing.
I would only let the keeper use his hands or head the ball like an outfield player. It will mean more goals, which is a good thing.
In the long term I see heading disappearing from the game entirely. Again, I don’t think it would be a bad thing. It would encourage playing on the floor which has a higher skill level.
What an absolute load of shit.
The keeper. Clearly.
I don’t think it’s reckless or excessive force so I’m at YC and Penalty if it doesn’t go in.
Not when he's headered it, no.If the ball hadn’t have gone in the net, would you have wanted a penalty?
In your opinionWhat an absolute load of shit.
They're already going that way with kids football. Can't remember what the initiative was called, but there was a recent trial by the FA to remove heading from the game.I know what I’m saying is controversial. But change isn’t always a bad thing.

Like I say, that attitude'll have the game done away with.In your opinion![]()
No. I take a clash of heads to be the part of the head that you would use to head the ball for both players. The same way kicking someone's foot when trying to kick the ball is different than kicking them in he calf or knee.It's common to see a player groggy after a clash of heads. Should it be a red card for the man who didn't get the ball? I can't recall ever seeing one like that - so I think they would need to change the law. It's accepted that trying to head (or punch, for a goalkeeper) in the normal way - ie. hard - doesn't count as "excessive force" or "reckless" inthe same way as a leaping high challenge does.
What about clash of heads in the box?No, but we should make keepers think more about their actions when they come to punch, just like outfield players have to think about the challenges they put in.
Charging out into a crowded area, with your fists below head height is dangerous in my opinion. If you are trying to punch the ball with your arms above your head then chances are your fists will be above everybody else’s head as well.
As I said earlier, players are penalised for a high boot, keepers should be penalised for a low fist (oo err missus).
You see a high foot being deemed when a player ducks down to head it, because the infringement isn’t actually called “high foot” it’s simply endangering an opponent and covered under Law 12.
Sounds like two blokes, one lass.What about clash of heads in the box?
