DiabyKungFu I could argue every single one of those points. A tackle is deliberate, it is a form of control, and a tackle cannot be construed as "instinctive stretching" or any other such nonsense.
The rules also say "If the pass, attempt to gain possession or clearance by the player in control of the ball is inaccurate or unsuccessful, this does not negate the fact that the player ‘deliberately played’ the ball."
