Goal Kick Video – Aug 2019 August 2019 – IFAB Clarification of Goal Kick Law 16
Many people will have seen the recent game where the Benfica goalkeeper chipped a goal kick to a defender who then headed it back to him (see attached video).
There has been considerable debate whether or not this contravened the laws.
Along with some other points regarding goal kicks, IFAB have confirmed that this trick – although it does not contravene the laws as currently written – is not allowed. If this occurs in a game, the goal-kick should be retaken without any further action taken against the players involved
Congratulations to Ceri Williams (on the right in the picture) on her recent appointment to act as Assistant Referee in the FA Women’s National League Cup Final, held at Burton Albion FC
The photo below shows one corner flag at the start of a League Play-off Semi-Final that was due to take place today. Both teams were there and willing to play. but the referee refused to allow the game to take place.
Can you see why? What would you have done in the same position?
