Paris Vs Arsenal Ladies

[one]

Fair, but then advantage is played again until the handball offence which is the best benefit to the non-offending team...



It has been made very, very clear to English officials that this is the expectation, so yes, if it happens and I notice that it's happened (I do think if you're not 100% switched on and there's no appeal you could easily miss it) then yes, I will penalise it.

Ok then, I fixed my post

I am confident anyone backing applying the FA guideline strictly on this forum is NOT going to notice this double touch.

And this makes the Game better how? It’s one thing to say that professionals should know this nuance. But at grassroots this is going to be an ongoing “gotcha scenario—especially as many refs are going to either be oblivious or deliberately ignore it.

I think it's always a dangerous situation when a referee doesn't know for certain if a restart has been taken or not... for similar reasons I don't allow corner shenanigans where a team will nudge the ball in the arc then run away and someone else comes and gets the ball and runs with it. At least this way it's black and white as to when the goal kick is taken. If it's kicked from a stationary position in the goal area, it's taken.

I think the law change on restarts could get pretty wild if taken to the nth degree.
Keeper throws the ball whilst stood still in the GA at a GK....

In a World where it was decided an IDFK was too great a punishment for holding the ball too long.
