PinballWizard Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 QUOTE(BigG @ Apr 13 2007 - 10:46 PM) 826437125[/snapback]By the letter of the law, the call was "correct" I had left by this time and when i read the article in the paper this morning it said "illegal possesion of the ball" I'm a certified ref of seven years and clueless? It could not be the right term, but what is this call? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK... my understanding of the call (of which I have had that called only twice in my 14 years of coaching as well) is that Joey touched the ball with his hands, didn't pick it up, then waited a second and picked it up. A keeper can only touch it with his hands once while picking it up. He "touched" it twice. Indirect kick inside the box. In a way (deep down inside) I am glad we didn't score off of that. I would rather get one in the hard way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think given the Spirit of the Game that they would either let it go or just warn the keeper. I hate to say this but knowing Joeys reputation he might of been taunting the players, in this case i can understand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
