At the weekend had green v orange. Orange keeper was very proactive. Out his box to sweep up balls etc and clear their lines. He also had a massive kick. Towards the end of the match they were 5-3 up. A couple of long balls were over hit and the orange keeper swept them up and the green strikers were closing him down, meaning he was putting them out for throws. He soon spotted this and was taking the ball right to the touch line and kicking it as far as possible out of play for the throw. So the greens had to go the best part of 90 yards to collect the ball. Now technically he was kicking the ball out, but was obviously doing it with a degree of force that was totally unneeded in order to waste time.
The greens were moaning. But other than stopping my watch for them to collect the ball as it had gone so far, as I always do if the ball goes onto another pitch or into bushes etc and isn't easily retrievable, was there any other action I could have taken against the keeper?
