Hi all
Quick question on an incident that I had in an U14 game on Saturday. Corner played into the centre of the box and was initially cleared, but it dropped to the attacker who took a shot from about 12 yards out; the defender on the line stuck out a hand and it hit him (no doubt that he was trying to save it), but it went in anyway such was the power on the shot. I gave the goal and almost immediately had to diffuse an altercation between the attacker and the keeper who helpfully decided to grab and keep hold of the ball which took my mind away from the goal itself.
It was only after the game restarted that it popped into my head that I should possibly have cautioned the defender on the line for the handball and it's been niggling at the back of my mind since.
Obviously it would have been clear cut DOGSO-H had he actually saved it, but grateful for any thoughts on this!
