    Fantastic post

    Wonder who you are referring to? Only one comment though... perhaps your question should be phrased as follows: -

    "Is a header "won" when it bounces off the top of your head on its way to the space where your fellow striker should have positioned himself?"

    Well....

    ....whether he should be there or not there's not much point in expecting him to be behind youif you can clearly see he isn't. If Mosto's not there then the header isn't &quot;won&quot; is it? </p>

    If Mossto had positioned himself where most of the "won headers" finished up yesterday, you would be complaining at the number of times he was caught offside.

    I agree really...

    Because of his size, KO is always likley to "win" headers in the sense that the ball deflects off some part of his head in a random direction.

    My definition would be "the ball is intentionally met by the player's forehead and propelled in a direction chosen by the player having previously noticed that a teammate was either in or running into the position towards which the ball was about to be directed, or alternatively having previously noticed that there was an inviting rectangular space bounded by white wooden or metal poles and netting in the vicinity into which the ball could be directed"
