blueheaven Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 1 hour ago, sixties saintee said: Never seen it being applied I guess that's just because keepers generally know they have to get rid of the ball and refs will only pull them up on it if they're deliberately/excessively taking ages? If there wasn't some sort of rule then wouldn't keepers just be able to hold onto the ball for as long as they wanted? Just checked and this link on the FA site says: An indirect free kick is awarded if a goalkeeper, inside their penalty area, commits any of the following offences: - controls the ball with the hand/arm for more than six seconds before releasing it  Cagey and sixties saintee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the keeper held onto it for about 30 seconds. Guess refs give some leeway until you take the piss. sixties saintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Cups 2021 Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 On 21st Oct. 2022 V.A.R. was introduced to the Scottish game, when Saints played Hibs. I thought at the time great, Saints will get fairer treatment. However, don't think it's worked out as previously thought. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
