Re: Question for umpires

Thanks for the replies. Does a goal-stopping foul distinctly need to be
deliberate to justify a penalty stroke? It seems that it would not be so, as
otherwise a defensive strategy might then be to pack the goal mouth and hope
it "accidentally" hits a defender which results in no more than a penalty
corner.

(I use my soccer background for analogies and I see this as being similar to
a defender on the line who makes an unintentional handball which stops the
goal - "unintentional" meaning the ball hits the hand/arm, rather than
reaching out to stop the ball. This would be a penalty kick.)

Thanks,

Don
