Best Answer

The referee determines if the ball is in or out of play based on whether it has crossed the boundary lines of the field. If the entire ball has crossed the line, it is considered out of play.

Is ball to hand still allowed in football?

It is technically still allowed, but it is rarely phrased like that. The key is, does the referee feel there was the intention to move towards the ball, or was there an attempt to move the hand/ arm out of the way of the ball. If the referee thinks the the player unintentionally hit the ball, then it is ball to hand, and play continues.
