The answer to this lies in the wording "denies" The question I always ask myself is if the foul had not taken place what would have happened next - I think the ball would have run forward and towards the outside of the upright Jake Bidwell would have covered the angle. Most importantly the...

Get well soon Steve. Like others here, I thought he was class on and off the pitch in all he said and did. He styled the team and put in place all the ingredients that gave us promotion.

The referee should stop the game immediately as the ball has become "unplayable" the referee should then restart the match with a drop ball. Let's hope it's not the same gentleman and that it doesn't bounce up and get lodged in his shirt again :)

Football should recognise Peter's contribution The FA used to have awards for services to football (assuming that he doesn't already have one). I think there is a 10 and 25 year award for a start. Someone told me sometime back he was the longest serving Pitchside Announcer or whatever we...

Clarification on .... Kicks from the penalty mark Procedure The kicks from the penalty mark are not part of the match The penalty area where the kicks from the penalty marks are taking place may be changed only if the goal or the playing surface becomes unusable Once all eligible players...

The referee and the assistants are seen as "part of the match" so no the game continues

Except in one situation • A goalkeeper who is injured while kicks are being taken from the penalty mark and is unable to continue as goalkeeper may be replaced by a named substitute provided his team has not used the maximum number of substitutes permitted under the competition rules Still...

LAW 9 – THE BALL IN AND OUT PLAY If, when the ball is in play, it touches another person who is on the field of play, the referee shall stop the match and restart it with a dropped ball from the position of the ball when it was stopped.

Yes. LAW 3 – THE NUMBER OF PLAYERS Changing the goalkeeper Any of the other players may change places with the goalkeeper, provided that: • the referee is informed before the change is made • the change is made during a stoppage in the match

You are correct - at anytime any player can go in goal although the referee must be informed of the change. Perhaps more interesting is the point not covered in the Laws. At the end of the match if the teams do not have the same number of players the team with the greater number of players...

In open play Yes the goal counts, and the ball should be replaced before the restart. During the taking of Penalties If the ball bursts or becomes defective during a penalty kick or during kicks from the penalty mark as it moves forward and before it touches any player or the crossbar or...

LAW 9 – THE BALL IN AND OUT OF PLAY Ball out of play The ball is out of play when: • it has wholly crossed the goal line or touch line whether on the ground or in the air • play has been stopped by the referee Ball in play The ball is in play at all other times, including when: • it rebounds...

"I don't know" is true - however I would know what to do if I saw it in a game and that's what counts :kiss:

Law 18 you've got it Mr Tree

OK no problem and an interesting question In truth the answer is you'd have to see it to truly decide what to do. I really doubt this would actually happen as the speed of the game would also be a factor here, just think how quickly this would have had to happen and the likelihood of the...
