'sporting contact' is a term I use for any contact that is not careless or worse. I used it AFTER 'as per the law' because its not in there . I have also heared 'fair contact'.'Sporting' holding, tripping, kicking and charging?????? - Hmmmmm, would love to see those - surely 90% of that contact IS careless?
I'm especailly not having the holding you see at corners and free kicks filed under 'sporting contact' a definition which isn't in the LAWS btw!
The law doesn't have to define 'sporting contact'. If it defines everything you do get a free kick for, then anything else is allowed. Although for clarity it also defines somethings that are allowed.
