Keeper water bottle

[RustyRef]

Posting this off the back of Hannah Hampton admitting this week that she threw the Spanish keeper’s water bottle into the England fans after she saw it had penalty details on it.

If you saw this would you take any action?

This is at least the second time it’s happened in an international game, with no action by the R either time. I’d like to see (but don’t really expect it) IFAB or FIFA to speak to this instead of leaving individual refs to decide whether or not to do anything—as I don’t think any professional referee will in the absence of guidance from above. (Though I do wonder, after the first time it happened, why a GK puts it on the water bottle instead of keeping it on her person….)

That’s what Hannah Hampton said, there’s no way she was leaving it on a water bottle so had it written on her arm.

Not fussed about what notes it may have on it, I'm very much leaning towards the C1 (BE) camp for tossing an opponent's water bottle away where they can't retrieve it.

Sorry I've posted a duplicate thread (and poll) but my thinking is no one is entitled to a written aid that they haven't kept on their person so would not take action.

FWIW, the Spanish keeper involved, Cata Coll, has said that her bottle wasn't thrown away. There would be no reason (that I can think of) why she should lie about this.

In the wake of Coll's comments, Hampton now admits she's not sure which bottle she threw into the crowd, although she thought it was Coll's at the time.

"There's five bottles on the floor, I know I've picked one up, she's saying it's not hers. In that moment, I've genuinely thought it is hers."

Unfortunately UEFA have now decided that a big asterisk * will be placed next to 2025: England on the trophy

In fairness, if I was the losing keeper who'd been daft enough to allow my water bottle containing details of the penalty takers to be thrown into the opposition fans I'd be trying to claim it didn't happen. Although I'm surprised no England fan came forward to say they had it, so perhaps it didn't happen.
