I wouldn't be giving that - I don't think it's what's expected and you don't have to go outside the LOTG to let it go. As @Russell Jones says it all hinges on the definition of a 'deliberate trick', for which there is no clarification I've ever seen.
I've always thought of a deliberate trick usually needing either 2 players colluding (e.g. one chips it up to the other) or a player making 2 actions - e.g. chipping it up to himself. That makes it clear cut - otherwise how low do you have to stoop for a header to cross the threshold of a trick ?
I think there is another possibility, where a player does something obviously pre-meditated and ridiculous. E.g. ball is stationary at a keeper's feet and a defender walks back 10 yards, gets on his knees and plays it with his head - that would count and I'd be happy justifying that.
Having said that, I can absolutely see how you could include what this player did within the plain English meaning of the phrase deliberate trick. I just think you would need to be braver than I would choose to be and prepared to spend quite some time explaining it !
