About 40 sec left in first half. Goalkeeper just got possession of the ball and trying to release it for quick counter. He is around edge of penalty area. Opposing player No11 is just outside the penalty area and is clearly trying to prevent GK from releasing the ball. I havent stopped the play for IDFK to allow for counter. GK released the ball and started counter attack, however, it came to nothing, I whistled for end of second half and then booked No11 for being in the way of keeper. Stupid No11 picked a second yellow card in 50th minute and was dismissed. Back to first yellow.. was i correct by allowing keeper to play on, and book No11 later, after half is finished, or i shouldve IDFK, as in the laws, and only then yellow?
Thanks for any input here
Interestingly, i had similar situation next game, i stopped game as GK wasnt looking for quick counter. I booked offending player. Both of offending players were trying to argue that they were outside the penalty area and can do whatever they want, and that i was inventing the laws...
