[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 515898, member: 24910"] I don't think law 22.9 is relevant here though - I think it is taken out of context. It has more to do with a defending player [I]receiving the ball [/I]within the field of player with their feet behind the goal-line - see 22.9b: The position of Kerr-Barlow is not important here - the only thing that matters in the position of the ball (which is clearly not in the in-goal area). Kerr-Barlow would have been entitled to hold the ball [I]up if it had it been in air[/I], but it was clearly on the ground and he simply dived on it and prevented Ellis from releasing it. [/QUOTE]
