Hi. Bit rusty, as 3rd game of the season this morning,after not reffing last season much at all.
Ball goes through to goalkeeper, striker chasing, goalkeeper catches, minor collision due to momentum but keeper has the ball. Didnt have the best view if I'm honest but seemed minor happens all the time. Keeper still has the ball. Gets up, throws the ball at players head from 3 or 4 yards hard and connects, this is all inside penalty area. I blow whistle straight away. Send keeper off for violent conduct. Feel like I may have made a mistake at this point (I know you could say may have made mistake with not giving free kick to keeper prior to this also) I then gave indirect freekick to the team who had the player who had ball thrown at him. Should this have actually been a penalty as the ball was 'live'? Felt a bit ott for a daft act of madness from keeper for both and actually both teams were fine with the idfk. Feel in hindsight probably should have been a pen.
