Stupid agreement though

If they were agreeing not to contest the drop ball and if the drop was close enough to the defender's goal to make this possible then they should have agreed that it would be the DEFENDER who would be the one player to touch it not the ATTACKER

So the goal stands, and acts as a useful reminder always to ask your lawyer before you agree anything
