I had an incident in my game today where play has gone into extra time and one team was winning 4-3.
The goalkeeper of the team that was winning held on to the ball for over six seconds and was time wasting with the intention of running the clock down.
I stopped play, cautioned the GK for delaying the restart of play and then restarted with an IDFK to the opposition from where the GK was. For some reason after doing this, I thought that I had not followed law correctly and that I should have gone back to the GK at the next stoppage (brainfart!!) but in my mind I had committed to my original plan.
It took me until the way home in the car to convince myself that I had actually followed procedure as I had totally forgotten about the six second rule.
Barmy I know but isn't it strange when one of these 'few and far between' incidents occurs?!
I suppose that it enforces the importance of familiarising yourself with the LOAF every year.
Have a good Christmas colleagues!
