Indirect Free Kick Handled on Goal Line

Bottom line. Some refs like issuing cards.

Bottom line. Some refs are afraid to issue cards.
See? I can post a pointless, inflammatory comment too.
Now, can we get back to the constructive, civilised discussion we were having? You don't have to play anymore if you don't want to.

Settle down please gentlemen.

I got accused of being "card-happy" today as I issued my second caution of the match in the 88th minute for SPA...sadly I didn't spot who said it or they may have actually proved me right!

In general, there seem to be more referees reluctant to issue cards than card-happy ones.

I have it from the horse's mouth, Federation Francaise de Football (FFF), who state that it is a penalty and RED card offence for DOGSO!!!!!!!

The head of the my county referee's committee, and some of his colleagues disagree!!!!! He (and they) states penalty and YELLOW card for USB. However some other members of the same committee agree with the FFF's opinion!

So, maybe there still is not a definite answer.

Well finally, the definitive answer from the FFF (after higher consultation I think!).
Indirect Free Kick to the attack, last defender (not the goalkeeper) handles the ball and stops it entering the goal. Penalty and Yellow Card.

Sense prevails at last. We're done here
