[Albion] Dunks chest back to Sanchez

[ukpolska]

Apparently, this will be illegal to do so in the new season as the IFAB have said that players will be booked and an indirect free-kick awarded if a player does a trick in order to pass the ball to the keeper (by head, chest, knee etc) to evade the law of a pass-back. It will be an offence if the goalkeeper touches the ball with the hands or not. This will also be enforced if the goalkeeper initiates the trick.

Surely, that means if the player flicks the ball up in order to chest/knee/head it to the keeper.

Don't worry about it, if there's one thing the EPL and football in general, does well across the globe, it's dealing with open ended interpretations of new laws.




Oh.

Oh.

Seems to have been the case for at least two years already anyway - unless I'm misreading this?

Am I right in thinking Dunk did a diving chest back to Sanchez against Getafe?

Edit: Yes, yes he did!

about 2:08 into the video.

You seem to be a man who knows the answers to this one.

So will chesting to the keeper be allowed next season or not?

Of course it will. Chesting the ball is the same as heading it. The whole thing is based around a trick to circumnavigate the back pass rule. It's not a trick to head/chest it back to the keeper from a cross such as Dunk's but it would be if the player flicks the ball in the air and nods/chests it towards the keeper.

Ask yourself if someone boots the ball upfield and the defender flicks it back off his head to the keeper, is that a trick? No it's called defending.

100% absolute filth. Why do we see what no one else seems to. Absolute class.

Starting to genuinely believe he might be THE best English CB.

Starting to genuinely believe he might be THE best English CB.

After yesterday’s performance, 2nd best after Webster!

 

[Reddleman]

The confidence he must give to the whole team when he does this just can’t be overstated. Absolutely radiates that he is in full control.

That chest back yesterday was a supreme piece of skill from a player at the very top of his game. Astoundingly confident!

 

[Hendrax]

It was very good indeed. The pace that the ball was whipped in, he just absorbed it perfectly and directed it into sanchez. What a guy.

 

[banjo]

He wears this under his shirt.

 

[BN41Albion]

9 clean sheets and only 11 goals conceded in our last 17 games - how many of our our English defenders will Gareth pick ?

Hopefully none of them

He did the most number of passes with "other body part" (= not his feet or head) out of any players in the top 5 leagues last season and seems like he wants to defend that title.
