parsforlife Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Despite the rule being explained to him, Peter Houston still thinks the disallowed Motherwell goal should have stood As did McCall, it's pretty poor from both of them, it's not a complicated or new law. How they didn't know it, and why they they'd like to completely disregard it is unexplainable 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it state that? Here's an excerpt from Law 12.16. Quote The goalkeeper is considered to be in control of the ball when the ball is ... held by trapping the ball between one hand and any surface (e.g., the ground...)... Another case of the ref knowing the Laws and applying them correctly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly "trapped". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swello Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 "Trapped" is a vague term and doesn't really belong in a "law" IMO. At the game, it looked like the ball was moving slightly but his hand was on it - so it comes down to the interpretation of "trapped" I guess and it's natural for the referee to err on the side of caution. To me*, trapped would mean the ball must be stationary and there is some force being applied by the 'keeper (as the law is really intended to stop people kicking the ball out the keeper's hand when it is "dead") and I'm not sure that was the case here, even after watching it a few times. *I am aware that my word is meaningless here as it was my team that was affected 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That law can never be specific, because "trapped" is too general a term. Just another law in the game that is left up to the referees interpretation, rather than having a definitive understanding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought Mclaughlin was trying to pull it back towards himself and had lost control of it doing that before it was put in. But I really wouldn't blame the referee for missing that. I don't think that the ball was "trapped" as my understanding of the concept is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that he had his hand securely on top of the ball and was pulling/rolling it towards his body, means that he had full control of the ball. I give up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the highlights again, he attempts to scoop the ball inwards by putting his hand over to the other side of the ball but is unable to pull it inwards because it wasn't "trapped" enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
