View Referee Richard Dawson profileAnswer provided by Referee Keith Contarino OK. Something must have happened on television somewhere as we are getting bombarded with this question. Where the FEET are is always totally unimportant when considering a handling violation. If the ball is in contact with the hand and is INSIDE the penalty area, there is no infraction.On the other hand, if the ball and hand are totally outside the penalty area and the feet inside the penalty area, the keeper has deliberately handled the ball
