Hi,
Just had a cup match which ended in a draw. So dreaded penalty shootout. We are wanted to swap our goalkeeper with an out fielder who was on the field of play when the whistle went. The ref agreed with me that because she was on the field we could do this.
Now when we looked up the specifics we could only find that a gk when injured could be substituted for another gk from off the field. Not anything to say who could go in goal from the field of play.
This sort of thing would rarely happen outside the lower grassroots teams.
So is there a specific rule or just an interpretation please let me know your thoughts
