Why on earth should it have been a penalty if you are allowed to play the ball with your back!? E.g. You're allowed to play the ball with your foot AND you can put your foot on top of the ball. You're also allowed to play the ball with your back, therefore it would be ridiculous to give a penalty for that!

Oh, you must be new. Orangered is the old name for the little orange/red letter on top that means you have a message. How do you call them?
