This isn't a question about the LOTG as they stand now. My question is this: has it ever been the case that the LOTG or LOAF stated that a goalkeeper needed two hands on the ball to be considered in control of it?
Twice in the last two weeks I've blown for an attacker kicking the ball which was on the ground and when the keeper had a hand on top of it. Both times players have complained that it's not a FK because the keeper didn't have both hands on it.
I recall being told the same thing when I was a kid. Was it ever true? If so, when did it change?
