I thought this would happen when I read about the change to the law.

Don't think it should be allowed as per rules.

The goalkeeper flicks the ball up, so it circumvents the law. This will be used for time wasting by many teams.

For the small percentage of occasions when a team ****s it up and concedes a comedy goal, I think it should be allowed.

It’ll be Duffy, he’ll forget where he is and POWER it into the top corner, easily flying over teeny Maty’s head.

Hadn't even heard of this are there any other new rules this year ? Thread link?

Shame the Hawk isn't still playing. I feel this would be an opportunity too good for him to resist.

As far as the laws of football are concerned, the goalkeeper is a defender in this instance, both should be cautioned for unsporting behaviour and an in-direct free-kick awarded.

I think in this situation the law means that the defender performing the header cannot perform the trick to bring it to head height, as for another player passing it to him that seems to be allowed, even if it is the goalkeeper

The way the law is written, a player must not pass the ball to another player in a way that would circumnavigate the rules. So Dunk cant flick the ball on to Duffy's head to pass back to Ryan. So therefor Ryan cant flick the ball onto Duffy's head to get around the laws.
