I don't penalise exactly after 6 seconds the same way I don't penalise a goal keeper 2 inches off the line. It's all a matter of what you would allow as triffleing. A yard for me is pushing it but certainly not any more that a yard. As for 6 seconds, I'll go up to 10-15 seconds (and by then he's been warned to release).I don't think there is a right/wrong answer to this, as those advocating a retake are simply quoting/using LOTG, however in pre match from a level 3 I was told this re GK movement 'How many retakes do you see for it? I'm not saying anything else'
I'm tending to side with Ciley and would ask those that oppose - do you penalise the GK when he fails to release the ball after 6 seconds - because like pens, this happens 90% of the time and is NEVER penalised.
Also must note, yards away from a goal line is much more noticeable than seconds longer than 6 seconds, and has a much bigger impact on the game too.
