It's pretty bloody ridiculous that a player can play at the football, take the ball out of play and his team retain possession

I'll second thatf**king hell.
I wouldn't even call it a 'rule'.
It's just a fact that he was out of the field of play when he grabbed it.
Exactly.
If he put his foot on the touchline, he is out.
So if his foot was on the touchline before he touched the ball.....
But this doesn't apply in the in-goal right? Otherwise kicks into the in-goal would be out off the kicker if the fullback reached back into the field of play and touched the ball.
So why the difference?
Was this a bouncing ball, or a ball caught on the full? I missed the game.
The rule only applies when caught on the full. If it had touched the ground, then the player standing out took it dead and his team would not retain the ball
No. You are wrong.
