This is the main point on this whole matter!!
When the Clonmel players saw that Peake intended to keep possession and play on, why did they just stand there and let them?? Surely the natural reaction would be to defend?
This is where this whole "expectation" that the ball will be given back becomes a farce!
I AM NOT saying that what Peake did was OK, nor am I saying that Clonmel Town were right to react ( or not react !! ). There is no rule to say that the ball "must" be given back, its as simple as that!!
