Interesting one in my U13 game at the weekend.
Penalty awarded to reds which is saved by the keeper and immediately bounces out to another red attacker who puts the ball in. All fine, apart from the fact that the attacker was about 3 yards into the box when it was taken, so I blew to disallow the goal and awarded an IFK to the defending side.
Happy with the decision, but what shocked me is that it was universally accepted. No complaints from the attacking side and the player who scored even knew what the restart was going to be. Even had one of the parents tell me what a good decision it was at the end of the match.
Not controversial at all, but wanted to share because it makes such a nice change to have a decision accepted and players that know the LotG.
