Game at weekend, I was watching a couple of colleagues who were officiating:
Quick counter attack, red team with two forwards and blue defenders chasing back.
Red attacker enters the 'D' with the ball, keeper off his line to close down the angle.
A defender carries on to the goal line to cover.
Red player with ball shoots, past the goalkeeper but defender on line stops the goal with his hand.
The other red attacker, pounces on the rebound and slams it home.
Ref blows but doesn't signal anything.....trots over to the AR, quick discussion and awards the goal, then books the defender who handled.
-------------------------------------
There was plenty of discussion afterwards, and the Ref's opinion was : I had to know if the scorer was offside when the first shot was hit before I could make the decision.
Before talking to the AR (who said that the scorer was level with the goalkeeper and therefore ONside) he had worked out:
A: Penalty and red card DOGSO if scorer was offside.
B: Advantage, goal and yellow card if scorer was onside.
One of the discussion points was - Should he still have red-carded the hand ball?
The fact that it prevented the goal being scored from the original shot made it DOGSO, regardless of the fact the Ref played advantage and a separate goal-scoring opportunity was created.
OR: should that phase of play be viewed as one, in it's entirety (from first shot to goal) and treat the handball as 'Deliberate' but not DOGSO because another opportunity was created by the hand ball offence?
