There's a bloke near me who still counts up to 6 everything a keeper holds the ball. Is that still a thing?  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is that still a thing?  I remember this came up a week or two ago on here, and I said it's the least enforced rule in sport. Keepers regularly hold on to the ball for more than six seconds, sometimes ten, and when they're holding on to a lead it can be 15-20. Yet I haven't seen a free kick given for at least a decade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aggy 747 Posted June 1, 2019 I googled the six second rule and apparently Mignolet got penalised for Liverpool against Bordeaux in 2015, which I can’t say I had remembered. Held on to it for 22 seconds! Very rare to see though. Could they make it so a keeper who holds on to it for more than 6 seconds is booked instead of giving an indirect freekick? A ref can go back and book a player for a foul where they play an advantage, so why not book the keeper? I think refs would be more willing to give out a yellow card than an indirect freekick in the box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think refs would be more willing to give out a yellow card than an indirect freekick in the box. I doubt that. Teams would have both their starting goalkeeper and the sub sent off before half time. Probably the best solution would be to increase the limit to maybe eight or ten seconds, and then actually enforce it- possibly via the fourth official or a VAR with a stopwatch. I say this because there are genuinely occasions when six seconds aren't quite enough, such as when a keeper claims a corner or free kick, goes down, waits for the box to clear etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why on earth are you watching women play football? By the way, the grammar police will be after you for 'Woman's international'. Serves you right for watching it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,775 Posted June 2, 2019 These rule changes won't come into effect for competitions that have already started, so the Champions League final was unaffected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splendidrush 698 Posted June 2, 2019 As Drazan says there's going to be confusion. "Unnaturally bigger" what does that mean? If it's not clear, it's open to controversy and people like me will cry foul when the decision goes in favour of the Big Club..... again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
