Question Number: 17874Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 11/12/2007RE: All Youth Levels Under 19 Steve of Vero Beach, FL USA asks...This question is a follow up to question 17792 Not impugning the reputation of a fellow ref [17792], but rather trying to gain better understanding to improve my game from those much more experienced than I am.
Something not mentioned in either William's comment or your response. It sounds like the GK retreated to the goal with the ball in hand after the whistle blew. So much so, that the attacker had to chase him down and take the ball from him.
Was/could/should the GK be cautioned for delaying the restart? Whether he understood the "new" law or not, he doesn't seem to have complied with the referee's directive.
Answer provided by Referee Gary Voshol You are correct, the keeper could have been cautioned if the ref felt it was deserved. In the Additional Instructions found in the FIFA version of the Laws of the Game (but not printed in the US edition) we find that the referee may caution a player for delaying the restart by "provoking a confrontation by deliberately touching the ball after the referee has stopped play." If the keeper had tried to prevent the opponent from grabbing the ball for the restart, most likely there would have been a confrontation. Whether or not simply holding onto the ball that had been kicked to him was cautionable is up to the referee to decide.
