I've noticed on the higher up games I do on the line, keepers are constantly asking the referee in the middle about pass backs.Thank you
@JamesL already replied but just to add that your first query came up for discussion back in 2017 and I sent an email to the IFAB about it. See below.Is a deliberate pass back that slightly
deflects off an opponent permitted to be picked up by the goalkeeper?
And can you tell a goalkeeper (if they ask) if they can pick up a ball (or not) from a pass back that is not obviously deliberate?
