Hi,
Had a slightly indifferent one this weekend.
The Occurrence
Attacking Whites launched the ball long the Blues keeper miss judged the bounce and on his second attempt accidently kicked the ball up onto his slightly raised arm and therefore controlling the ball. He did clear it after this occurance.
Whites were calling for handball. My two issues were the goalkeeper was facing away from me and I was unsighted when the occurance happened. Secondly the incident was genuinely accidental. That's how I explained it.
My Questions/Alternative Outcomes
1) Was I correct to allow play to continue as it wasn't deliberate handball. If not why?
2) If the keeper had deliberately handled the ball would the decision be DFK and Caution.
3) If the keeper deliberately handled the ball but the White player went through on goal and scored. Would you still go back and caution the goalkeeper for the offense.
Thanks all!
