Now as we know usually journalists' interpretations of the laws are not to be relied on (understatement of the year). But respected journalist Kevin Pullein of the Racing Post set me thinking this morning. In summary he said that accidental handball by an attacker should still be allowed if he himself doesn't touch the ball afterwards even if a goal scoring opportunity is created by the accidental touch. Reading the law it does say it is an offence if the player who has touched the ball
"THEN gains possession/control of the ball and creates a gs opportunity or scores"
So reading that - an accidental touch on hand/arm that falls directly to a team mate should NOT be penalised
Correct?
Thanks
