Hi guys,
I was AR on a friendly last night and the blue defender tried to hook the ball away but ended up kicking it straight up into the air and the goalkeeper catches the ball. The yellows were screaming (literally) for a backpass but the referee said "no" immediately.
Just wanted to clarify that this was right as my understanding is that it has to be a deliberate pass to the gk for it to be an IDFK?
I am 99% sure I am right on this but can anyone doubly confirm this?
