"It would ... be an infraction if a player was to use a trick to pass the ball to their goalkeeper, such as kicking the ball up and then using their head. If a player were to use such a trick then he must be issued a caution.[3]
The Laws of football as referenced do nearly state this. More precisely they say 'use a deliberate trick to circumvent the Law.' But when should the referee judge a back-pass with the head to be a 'trick?' This is not a question of deceit, I'm sure. Is it the case that any 'skill' by the player that allows him to control the ball in such a fashion, so that he can head it back to the keeper, be adjudged a 'trick' under this provision? The Ivory Coast defender on that occasion, Eric Bailly, touched the ball twice with his legs before heading it to the keeper, Sylvain Gbohouo. I've no idea whether and at what point these skills became a willful act to effect a headed back-pass in deliberate circumvention of the back-pass law, and I dare say neither did the player. I've no idea whether it matters, anyway.
The referee did penalise the Ivory Coast. As I read it, i) the offence is the 'trick,' i.e. against the letter and spirit of Law 12, not the handling that follows, ii) the defender gets booked (mandated in the Law, p123), and iii) the free kick should be from the position of the defender, not the goalkeeper. In fact I think neither ii) nor iii) happened that day. But was the referee right to blow at all? None of the commentators and pundits I heard seemed to think so. I guess that's not unusual. The Laws of Association Football is the most influential book no-one has read. Atconsul ( talk) 14:16, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

"I do not recall any involvement in or knowledge of the oversight of the investigations and prosecutions brought by Post Office Ltd against subpostmasters, either for theft, fraud and false accounting for alleged shortfalls in branch accounts for the recovery of such alleged shortfalls through the use of civil proceedings."The remainder of the overlap was actually parts of the questions asked by Counsel to the inquiry Jason Beer KC. I suggest adding the exact quotation from the witness statement, and either paraphrasing or omitting Beer's questions, or putting them in as quotes as well. — Diannaa ( talk) 15:43, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
