Dear David,
I would like to suggest the addition of the following terms to the LOTG glossary
Directly (ball entering a goal)
When the ball enters a goal without touching another player, for example after a restart or after touching a player’s hand/arm.
Reason: This clarifies the current use of the word and removes any doubt that if a player takes a restart and then scores an own goal by a second touch it is still considered an own goal scored directly. It also gives correct context to the use of the word in the new changes.
Regards,
A player takes a throw-in. He throws the ball directly to his goalkeeper who touches the ball in attempting to stop it entering the goal. The ball enters the goal, however. What action does the referee take?
The advantage is allowed and a goal is awarded.
I don't see how this is any different, in terms of the underlying principles involved, from the following scenario that used to be in the FIFA Q&A's:
OK, we're talking about a different category of IFK offence (double touch as opposed to deliberately handling a throw in from a team mate) and a different restart (goal kick as opposed to throw in) but as it seems to me, the basic legal premise remains the same. Even though a goal could not be awarded if the ball gone in directly, once the touch which would otherwise be an IFK offence occurs, the advantage can be applied.
Are there any scenarios in which a DOGSO could result from a GK handling the ball in the defensive PA?

Scenario goalkeeper takes a goal kick / free kick, and the wind blows it back towards goal.
Goalkeeper gets a touch on it but fails to stop the ball entering the net.
Can we apply the advantage and give the goal, or does it need to hit another player?
I have seen a GK miss-kick a back-pass before diving on the ball in desperation (OA game a month or so ago)
We can imagine how the opponents reacted. I doubt there's a pundit out there who would know this Law change
If, after a throw-in or deliberate kick from a team-mate, the goalkeeper unsuccessfully kicks or tries to kick the ball to release it into play, the goalkeeper can then handle the ballWhat law change are you referring to?

I can see why you may think he was referring to that. But to be clear, handling a back-pass by keeper in the area, as an offence on it's own, even to save a goal, is not a caution (or send off).Misunderstood--thought you might be referring to GKs not being cautioned for handling offenses, which wasn't new.
