Sorry, but going back to the question about coming back on without permission - Was I the only one calling for that Southampton player to be booked during the 1-1 draw this season? If I remember rightly, (I could well be wrong), he was already booked too. I remember thinking at the time that the ref bottled it because he knew he would have to send him off, so he waved him on AFTER he'd come on to clear the ball. I was going ape! Luckily we scored about two minutes later and I think everyone forgot about it.

DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THIS OR DID I DREAM IT?
Yeh, he came back on and gave away the free kick, from which we scored.
Indirect free kick from when the defender headed back to the keeper. Indirect free kick to the attacking team and a yellow card to both the keeper and the defender.

I'm sure there was a rule brought in to prevent exactly this scenario when the back pass rule was introduced.
If you deliberately circumvent the laws then yes it's a cautionable offence. If a defender got on his hands and knees and headed the ball on the ground to the keeper would be deemed punishable by an indirect free kick and a caution. Answer to the above is
a. A forward to able to try and get the ball because as soon as the ball has been released by the keeper and leaves the penalty area it is 'live'.
b. Stop the game, award an indirect free-kick to the attacking side from where the offence occurred and caution both the defender and goalkeeper.
