[SteveAustinRef]

Ok here is the full question:
What should the Referee do if he notices a goalkeeper, standing inside his own penalty area, smoking a cigarette while the ball is in play and possessed by one of his teammates who is about to take a shot on opponents' goal?

and the choices are:

Stop the play, Send Off the offending goalkeeper and award an Indirect Free Kick to the opposing team

Stop the play, Caution the offending goalkeeper and award an Indirect Free Kick to the opposing team

Allow play to continue and Caution the offending goalkeeper at the next stoppage of play
I will give a few days and post the answer Friday as some may now change their answers

Well the correct answer is : Stop the play, Caution the offending goalkeeper and award an Indirect Free Kick to the opposing team
