It's an interesting one the GK swapping both in the game and for shootouts. A good one on the same issue is that you could play a keeper for 90 minutes and extra time. Then get to the shootout and put an outfield player in place of the player that was keeper. These rules for the keeper are definitely in there as you can have a player that's a team's best outfield player but also better than their actual goalkeeper particularly at youth level.
Has happened before, like here [video=youtube;b61t8dp5usg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b61t8dp5usg[/video] But in their infinite wisdom FIFA have now decided that you can't score directly from a drop ball. Ok here's another one. The players are lined up on the pitch and the referee is doing the coin flip before kick off. Meanwhile, he sees a player kick an opponent violently. What happens next?
[video=youtube;FKPK0t10U7Q]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKPK0t10U7Q[/video] This was a good one. In the past it wouldn't have counted but the rule changed a few years back and you can score direct from kick off now.
Ha, great goal. I think you'd have to send the player off but I'm not sure whether or not he could be replaced, whether the cut off is at the kickoff whistle, or after team sheets are submitted. I think if you get a player injured before kick off you can replace him with someone from the bench without it counting as a sub, not sure if you can do the same with a sending off..
Simple, red card the player but he can be replaced by a player on the bench as the match hasn't started.
My guess would be it's to stop this sort of disgraceful unsporting behaviour happening when the opponent expects the ball to be sent back to the keeper. It puts the referee in a terrible position of having to award the goal otherwise. It's a straight red. And as the game hasn't started he can be replaced by one of the named substitutes.
I've got a puzzle. The goalkeeper has the ball in his hands. He rolls the ball in front of him and then picks the ball up again (still inside the penalty area) and kicks it upfield. What action, if any, do you take?
I wouldn't have thought there was a problem - keepers bounce it all the time and that's never a problem.
Is there a discrepancy with a bounced ball still being in control of the keeper's hands, whereas putting it down puts it out of control?
Basically when he's bouncing it it's still in his possession. When he rolls it out infront of him he technically loses possession By the way the 6 second rule is hilarious as it's never enforced by referees
Actually, they used to do that, but no longer do. Perhaps that is a clue to the answer. Maybe give an indirect gree kick to the opposition?
Yep, because the goalkeeper cannot release control of the ball and retake control of the ball when no one else has touched the ball. Bouncing the ball is not counted as releasing control of the ball whereas rolling it on the ground is.
depends....if it was Suarez who was knocked out - award a goal kick and pat the defender on the back?
You are right both teams are supposed to have all their players in their own half. So it should technically be retaken. This rule never really seems to be enforced though as often the one player stood in the wrong half plays the ball backwards or in this case didn't come into play. I should have posted another video of this happening without encroachment, can't find one though same happens often on penalties..players encroach and referees don't enforce the rule as they aren't really interfering with play so ignore the rule lol
In light of recent information all above answers are incorrect. The decision must go in favour of the team who appeals the loudest and with the most players shouting and waving their arms. Ps I was booked before kick off once while playing against Peter Symonds college in Winchester.
