No idea. It must be a mistake on the website.How did Blackpool manage that in a stadium that only holds 16k?

So technically to time waste you could pass it out to a defender who flicks it up and knees it back to the keeper? Cancelo could do that all day. Why don't people do this?I know I'm a bit late here, but no, he uses his knee to pass it to his keeper. The rules are you cannot deliberately kick the ball to your keeper and then have him pick it up.
A kick is deemed only to happen with a player's foot. So the knee, and technically the shin is allowed, though the last one might be a bit risky, depending on the referee.
There's a paragraph in the law that states any deliberate tricks to pass it back your goalkeeper is 'unsporting behavior' and can be cautioned. They might, and probably will, consider your scenario a deliberate trick.So technically to time waste you could pass it out to a defender who flicks it up and knees it back to the keeper?

Figured it must be covered somewhere. Cheers.There's a paragraph in the law that states any deliberate tricks to pass it back your goalkeeper is 'unsporting behavior' and can be cautioned. They might, and probably will, consider your scenario a deliberate trick.

It's not really common knowledge among most football watchers or even players, as you could tell by the reaction of several Arsenal players yesterday when the Forest player played it back with his knee. So I can absolutely see some referees not knowing it either. Looked like even Pawson was unsure, as he seemed to be chatting with his assistants on the comms after the situation.i have a vague memory of a city game in the 90s where we fell foul of this rule. I think we were incorrectly penalised when it was kneed back to the keeper by a defender and it lead to a goal.
Could be getting stuff mixed up but I’m sure there was some sort of controversy- as there always was with city!
Are you sure its not the dippers who will be be bricking it? They have historyI have a feeling that United will be bricking it tonight
