A surprisingly large % of match officials would get this wrong. Some due to simply not knowing the laws and others due to not being switched on.

Just get rid of it and put it back to how it was with the ball needing to leave the penalty area. It's not benefited the game in any significant manner We've had law changes, clarifications and directives to try and solves he cluster**** they created.

@Russell Jones By 'use their hands' you mean they toss it 10 yards forward 😉

Remember you can apply advantage for rolling ball restarts in general ;). It's very clear to me that the goalkeeper never intended to take that as a goal kick, the match situation alone would tell you they aren't going to want to take it quickly. Apparently we can't consider that. The OP is...

I meant before the whistle, there seemed to be some discussion going on. You shouldn't be whistling until their positions are compliant with the law, if he turns to not face the kicker after the whistle then the penalty must be taken.

Technically facing the kicker, wonder if referee wouldn't let him turn his back completely.

@socal lurker Once the first one is given some refs will be starting the count far too soon on the next goal kick. Still wouldn't expect people to get close. In England for 8 second count infringements, the third offence is a yellow card and the 4th a red!

I'd be happy to see attempt to play the ball being changed to an absolute offside offence; class it under interfering with play.

One way to do a Mike Dean

This thread stinks of people who regularly check whether the observer average has changed by 0.01😉
