Title: The 6 second GK law!
Post by: Alickismyhero on December 22, 2020, 09:40:02 pm
Has the law changed?

Why the Shrews GK got away with holding the ball for 10 seconds I certainly don't know. If my memory serves me well the Ref should have awarded an indirect freekick. I think the GK committed the offence 4 times.

I have just seen him hold the ball for 13 seconds and still not even warned.

He'd have been quicker with the ball if we had put it past him, but we never really looked like doing that.

Has that law changed because Keepers are holding on to the ball well over 10 secs.

How can there only be 4 mins added time with 5 subs and time wasting at every Shrewsbury goal kick, free kick & corner.
Are the refs deliberately oblivious to it or are they simply incompetent?

Camps,
I was refereeing games up to 12 years ago and that law I enforced.

I admit thats a long time ago and the law may have changed.

I am sure there will be a young ref out there who could put me right.

Ben Whiteman had that shot and I think it went out at 70:00 and they showed the Replay of it, a few of my holiday videos and drew the National Lottery Numbers and were still in time to see the Keeper kick it back into play at 70:46 ffs

They were time wasting from the 3rd minute and in the 2nd half were taking longer and longer for throw ins - up to 30 seconds a time.

Its so bloody frustrating - surely the games rule makers must see what players are doing. Sure it wouldnt stop Keepers holding onto the ball but the Refs could start timing that - and it wouldnt stop them going to the corner flag to kill time but you could then at least boot the ball out our foul them  knowing the clock had stopped even if the player rolled all over the floor for 5 minutes. It simply would not matter and no disputing added time again EVER

We still wouldnt have scored tonight though with 40 minutes each way UNLESS FO was actually onside when he scored

The rule hasn’t changed:

“An indirect free kick is awarded if a goalkeeper, inside their penalty area, commits any of the following offences:
   •   controls the ball with the hand/arm for more than six seconds before releasing it”

Taken directly from the IFAB

Not sure I’d be classed as a “young ref” though

I accept that time wasting is part of the game like running the ball in the corner, frustrating but legal. When it comes to the GK holding the ball over 6 seconds, if it is the law, then I would have thought the ref could have sorted it out with a verbal warning but he never.

The only time I ever remember it being enforced was against Simon Mignolet for Liverpool in a Champions League game. He held the ball in his hands for fully 18 seconds and the referee gave an indirect free kick. I can't remember if the opposition scored from it.

I think the ref touched the ball more than their keeper he was constantly in the way. He looked like a Sunday league ref who just stays in the centre of the pitch.

... and fell down - and did you see him sprinting once or twice as he got caught out by counter attacks (would have been theirs probably)

I checked during the game and believe it or not the law was "never intended to be strictly enforced". It's up to the referees discretion if the keeper is looking to seek any advantage by holding it longer. Clearly this idiot didn't!

Its all hugely frustrating made worse when someone posted elsewhere when your Team are the recipients. Keepers catching like this one did last night a ball falling from the sky with no pace on it whatsoever who then does "a Sullivan" and dives to the floor - rubs his shoulder and gets up eventually before taking as much time as possible

Not for the first second or last time I say I just wish that we went to a Game Clock and it would solve most of the s**t we have to put up with each and every game

Anyone recall after 3 minutes we were awarded a Free kick just outside area SW corner. Anderson went to get the ball and their bloke toe pokes it another 10 yards away. Sly b*****d and Ref who did nowt all night did nowt. However the clock would have stopped when the offence happened and the little s**t could have kicked it out of the Ground and it just would not matter except I concede it would still take pressure off the Team who might be struggling as Shrews were at that point

You can add to that kicking it out of hands outside the area, this is one of my pet things since seeing it enforced on (I think) Kim Booker. Neither the ref or linesman even look at this both face away

I commented at the time to young un - their guy actually ran over to it from about 10 yards away to toe poke it away

I think we've been here before regarding a game clock DW, couldn't agree more. There's a difference between game management when you're leading and blatant time wasting. As mentioned in previous replys,  opposition players kicking the ball away and sprinting half way across the pitch to stand in front of the ball to stop a quick free kick. I'd love to see Nigel Owens referee a football match, there'd be nobody left on the pitch.

Perfectly legal - and a good tactic - and a bonus is its so hard to detect for the Lino

To be fair judging Offside is similar s the Lino has to be watching along the line yet see also the instant a player plays the ball forwards and try to coordinate the 2

I think it's time to do away with throw-ins as well as implementing a 60 minute game clock. It isn't nearly as much of an advantage to a team throwing the ball in usually to chest or head height than it would be having a player to pass on the ground to with opponents ten yards away. Look how we conceded against Gillingham, a classic "throw it down the linenand hope to win it" headed to a Gills player and one pass later it was in the back of the net. Barely any skill from the scoring team and not much chance to defend it for the throwing team.

I think Arsene Wenger mentioned it as one of his ideas to change the game and I think he's right.

I have requested an explanation from the Referees Association on some of the points made above. The last time I made an enquiry it was "Why did Mr Oliver give the penalty to Brentford" Mr Oliver, to his credit, within 3 days responded, lets see what happens.

I agree, running the line is a harder job than reffing for the reason you state, especially at amateur & junior level where half the morons behind you don't even know the rules lol, but their player definitely wasn't offside (when they received it in any case). Had some fun & games with that one

That's an interesting idea. So a throw in would become basically a free kick?

Wouldn't that just allow some teams, we know who they are, to launch bombs into the opponents box?

more "anti football"?

My pet hate at the moment is where players take a corner and refuse to put the ball INSIDE the corner area.

Law 17 states the the ball must be placed IN the area, not so its touching the area.

Its something that came into the game 2 or 3 years ago. Dozy linesman let them get away with it all the time. Another example of the tail wagging the dog and the weakness of footballing officials. :woot:  :woot:  :crying:

this is how the rule is written on the fa website......

https://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/lawsandrules/laws/football-11-11/law-17---the-corner-kick

Procedure

The ball must be placed in the corner area
The ball must be stationary and is kicked by a player of the attacking team
The ball is in play when it is kicked and clearly moves; it does not need to leave the corner area
The corner flagpost must not be moved
Opponents must remain at least 9.15 m (10 yds) from the corner arc until the ball is in play

Did you also notice that after the ball hit the ref and he had the ball in his hands so he could drop it for Whiteman, one of their players came in to about a yard away and engaged in conversation and and waving his arms about, obviously just delaying the restart.
The ref should have booked him for that but instead allowed the fiasco to go on for 20 seconds or so.

I simply cant see any advantage if they have the ball 1/2" nearer to the Goal before taking the kick. The advantage I think they perceive is being caught and thus wasting time

Shrews did it twice in NW corner and as Ref was walking over to check & had the bloke bang to rights Player A made it clear we wasnt going to take the kick and rolled it to someone else instead. I notice mostly this happens where the Limos are not positioned (SE & NW corners)

Its just childish behaviour which is getting worse by the Season. I am hoping some Team score a brilliant goal froma Corner and VAR pulls it back for being (or better still) looking like its out of the quadrant

Why dont they make it a Square anyway ? Then all the ball has to be wholly in the square - not on any lines -  EVER. Seems like a sledgehammer to crack a nut though !

Just players trying to gain from anything they can. Creeping at Throw ins - Keepers taking the p**s when taking free kicks where they creep forwards to gain advantage. They are supposed to go in Line with Lino but Ref sends them back and back and they will still be 10 yards in front of Lino who then gives up and runs to Half Way line.

Look how we conceded against Gillingham, a classic "throw it down the linenand hope to win it" headed to a Gills player and one pass later it was in the back of the net. Barely any skill from the scoring team and not much chance to defend it for the throwing team.

I think Arsene Wenger mentioned it as one of his ideas to change the game and I think he's right.



That's an interesting idea. So a throw in would become basically a free kick?

Wouldn't that just allow some teams, we know who they are, to launch bombs into the opponents box?



Quite a few years ago the FL tried out doing away with throw ins, in a non league division. It was trialled for a season and did exactly what you suggested. The experiment was not extended after the trial season.

On corners, the ball must be in the quadrant but, as anywhere else on the pitch, it's not out of the quadrant unless the whole of the ball is over the whole of the line

That makes sense, can't argue with that. Damn it  :laugh:

But surely the ball must be touching inside of the quadrant.

It doesn’t even have to be touching anywhere near the inside of the quadrant Col.

As long as it is touching or is over the white line its fine.

Agreed but Col asked if the ball has to be inside the quadrant.

It’s the same as for a goal decision that we see in the current goal line technology...... All of the ball needs to be over all of the line to be allowed as a goal..... and with a circular ball that includes the ‘over hang’.  So with a corner, the ball can appear to be outside the quadrant but as long as part of it is ‘over hanging’ the line then it is deemed to be within it ....and legal.

POD,

I think you are perfectly correct.

But why shouldn't all of the ball be within the quadrant

Because according to the Laws of the Game, all lines on the football pitch form part of the areas which they enclose.
