Celebrity question-setter, Palace fan and former St Bede's Prep School first XI ace Eddie Izzard explains why football can save the world.

Keith Hackett's verdict

1) No goal. The law skirts around the menace of chairmen with airguns, but this intervention certainly represents outside interference. The game should be restarted with a dropped ball from where it was when you stopped play – but as, in this instance, there wasn't time to stop play, restart as near as possible to where the ball was when it burst. Make sure the chairman is dealt with before resuming the game.
2) An admirable display of quick thinking by this quick-witted youngster: but it also represents deliberate handball. The laws state that you have to treat the contact of the ball with the boot as contact made by an extension of the striker's hand – so caution the Junior Eagle for unsporting behaviour and restart with a direct free kick to the defending team. 
3) Wherever the ball went – and its not uncommon at lower levels to have a ball leave the stadium only to be booted back in again by passers-by – the result is two balls on the field. The game stops as soon as that happens, so in this case you do not award a goal. Instead, restart with a dropped ball from where the matchball was when the original returned to earth. Happy Christmas.
