Just for clarity LOL
If a goalkeeper takes a goal kick and it then directly hits a defender on the head, & the ball deflects towards goal,
If the goalkeeper then touches ball after the defender and ball deflects off him into net, then goal kick is retaken? [eg soon as goalkeeper touches it, decision then is retake]
I don't want to say that'll never happen (because no doubt it will somewhere...) but that will never happen.[/QUOTE]
last 5 minutes of the game. Keeper chips the ball up, defender heads it back, retake.

full-time.
Silly to penalise it if you're going to allow defenders in the box because the defending team can just sabotage the end of the game with retakes, just leave them be to punt it if they want.
