Right or wrong?

[John White]

Found this on youtube, not sure what I would have done in this situation so thought I'd see what you lot think.

Henry played the ball before Friedal could kick it, and scored but the goal was disallowed. Was the ref right here?

Cheers,

John

Correct decision.

The ball is considered to be in the keepers control when releasing the ball from his hand to kick the ball (e.g in this situation). Therefore he cannot be challenged, and an indirect free kick is to be awarded.

If this happened in a future game, would you consider a caution for USB?

Correct decision, you can't interfere with the GK while he is kicking from hands.

Would be a harsh caution for USB in that particular situation, but you might be able to sell it.

Gotta love those commentators. They all know the laws.

Gotta love those commentators. They all know the laws.

And the 'rules and regulations'

Correct decision. No questions asked!
