6 Second Rule

Just checked, and despite refs indicating otherwise, this is still a thing apparently. Question is; has anyone seen a keeper barring Andy Petterson penalised for it?

Feel like the season after it was introduced it was enforced then died a death, can't remember the last time I saw a ref give it.
Similar to foul throws, they seem to just be let go.0 -
Referees are too scared to enforce these rules, as they'll be blamed by everyone for being too heavy handed with the enforcement.
Same with holding that goes on in the box.
Lessons really werent learnt from the 2018 World Cup in that regard!!
Time wasting in general is another, where last season (?) referees were adding 10+ minutes on at the end of games; the Premier League "stars" like de Bruyne etc. complained about the amount of minutes they were being forced to play, the pundits joined in and now we dont see it being enforced enough.2 -
I believe there are currently trials for an 8 second limit, with the ref giving a warning the first time the 8 seconds is exceeded and then subsequently a corner kick will be awarded for holding the ball longer than the 8 seconds.6

If I drop a slice of pizza when hungry then the rule is most definitely in play.10

I mentioned it on the match thread. The average time for a keeper holding onto a ball is 20 seconds now. The most ridiculous some keepers do is catch a ball without any opposing player within 20 yards and then flop to the floor as if they've been shot.2

Steer was also about 1 meter outside the box when kicking from his hand.
The Lino didn’t seem to care.

Preferred it in the old days with a limited number of steps.0

Law 12 defines when the six-second limit starts:
‘A goalkeeper is considered to be in control of the ball with the hand(s) when:
- the goalkeeper quickly releases the ball into play to start an attack – in these instances, the goalkeeper usually holds the ball for well below six seconds
- the goalkeeper attempts to release the ball into play to start an attack but is unable to do so for a variety of legitimate reasons, e.g. attacking players are not available/in position or other players (of either team) interfere with the goalkeeper’s movement – in these instances, the goalkeeper usually holds the ball for around six to eight seconds
- the goalkeeper decides to waste time, often unnecessarily falling to the ground and staying there before slowly standing up – in these instances, the goalkeeper holds the ball for considerably more than six seconds, sometimes reaching 20 seconds or more

Procedure
The following procedure will apply:- The referee will start counting the eight seconds when the goalkeeper has clear control of the ball with the hand(s)
- The referee will use a raised hand (to be fair to the ref tonight I did see him raise his hand a few times) to clearly show the countdown from five seconds to zero (as per the four-second count in futsal and beach soccer)
- The corner kick/throw-in resulting from an offence will be taken from the side of the field of play closest to where the goalkeeper was positioned when penalised (never seen this happen in a game)
- The goalkeeper will be warned for the first offence and cautioned (YC) for any subsequent offence(s)-seen this many times when the referee booked the goalkeeper in the final 10 minutes, most famous one I have seen is when Onana got booked in the semi vs Coventry for wasting time then got booked again in the shootout (weird he didn't get sent off)
- The ref booked their throw-in taker tonight in all fairness

Fans could definitely pressure the ref by counting whenever the keeper has the ball.

If there were some way of beating out time when the opposition keeper holds the ball. One "beat" per second would make it very plain when the keeper has transgressed.
If only there were some kind of large, loud percussion instrument in the Covered End that could be used in such a way...2 - Sponsored links:

Thought Mannion was an absolute mile out of our area when he launched one of his drop kicks today.
Anyone else see it?0 -

Wonder what the referee will do if an opponent player goes and stands right in front of the Goalkeeper like they do when they stop a quick counter attack - Do that and be a nuisance for eight seconds and you should win a corner out of it.0

Judging be the intelligence of Football fans when in a mob they will probably start counting when their own keeper has the ball🗣️ 🙄1
