Balancing the ball on your head

[joggerjayne]

So, nowadays, footballers have become a bunch of lightweight fairies ...

... yes? no one disagreeing so far?

If an opponent so much as touches them, they go down like they've been shot by a sniper, and the opponent gets booked.

So ...

In training, most footballers can balance the ball on their head, or the back of their neck ...

Is there any rule, during a match, to stop a player flipping the ball on to his head, and just walking to the opponents' goal?

If any opponent tried to head the ball off the player's head, the player would, naturally, dive to the floor, claiming he had been head butted.

I think the referee would be p*ssed off with that tactic, triggerhappy! Good idea, though!

Maybe an "interesting" idea, rather than a "good" idea ?
