Colin Healy on referee's drop ball gaffe: 'You would like to think they would know that rule'

Law 8 of the Laws of the Game was updated in 2019. It says: “If a dropped ball enters the goal without touching at least two players, play is restarted with a goal kick.”

Cork City boss Colin Healy will have referees and players flicking back through the Laws of the Game after he expressed his frustration at a costly goal scored from a drop ball against his side.

City were 2-0 up against Cabinteely in the second half at Stradbrook in the First Division clash last weekend when the Dubliners produced a late fightback to snatch a point.
