What’s the rule on this?
I was reffing an u18 match on Saturday and one girl kept putting her arms across her chest when the ball is kicked at her.
Wasn’t even at pace. I warned her and eventually she did it in the box and I gave a penalty.
I wonder what the actual rule is on this as men’s football they cover their bits during a free kick, but if the moved their arm during a match it would be handball.
What’s the law?
