FootballChat Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 Will there be an apology from Steve Massey for his berating of the match official? Keeper was over double the 6 seconds before releasing the ball so the referee was well within his rights to give that free kick. bighairydave, The Town Man and Should be retired 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piran Posted January 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 My question would be, if the 6 second rule / law still applies, why aren’t referees up and down the country applying it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Darren Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 There isn't a 6 second rule anymore, it's down to discretion Congratulations to the referee in this instance, nearly 20 seconds to take a kick from hands is ridiculous and I wish Premier league referees did it.

It’s still a law Darren 12.2 for indirect free kick ‘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’ Although not at the game I’m pretty sure the ref would have ‘advised’ the GK previously at some point about the length of time he was taking prior to that indirect free kick being awarded and it wouldn't have been a ‘total surprise’ bighairydave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golong Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 No complaints on the ref for re the keeper and timewasting. 17 seconds to release the ball! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No referees implement it in the Premier league league It is supposed to. Be discretionary these days and only used if the goalkeeper is wasting time deliberately. In this case 17 seconds is a long time but why wait until he's kicking it to blow up. However the goalkeeper can't have too much argument to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrummyBarry Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 Assuming a ref has his whistle by his side or pocket it would take a second or two to blow it wont it so I guess he decided to blow it before the keeper went to kick it Footy follower 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
