What you're not considering however

is that his arm is being pushed into that position by the striker also challenging for that ball. It's highly unlikely that a professional footballer would try and head the ball and forget to move his hand from the top of his head, so ask yourself why it's still there when he heads it.

A punishment in these circumstances of a virtually certain goal and loss of the game feels wrong, but I've always said this.
