I know. But that wasn’t the subject of the post you replied to discussing this trial of a new law.
Something that has long being an annoyance of mine and I know other people on here, is finally being addressed.
Namely the reluctance of referees to enforce the six second rule for goalkeepers to release the ball.
Trials are being planned in lower leagues next season, which may lead to a change of the laws by 2026/27.
The main points of the trial are:
*Goalkeepers to be allowed eight seconds to release the ball.
*The referee will raise his hand and count down the final five seconds for everyone to see.
* The penalty if the ball isn’t released in time will be either a throw in level with the penalty area or a corner. Participating leagues can choose which they use but have to stick with one or the other throughout the trial.
* First offence will bring a warning. A second offence, a yellow card and a third offence a second yellow/ red.
A welcome addition but it’s has to be taken from the ref and given to an independent timekeeper.
You put it in the hands of officials and you will see one player get sanctioned whilst others get away with it and yet again, no consistency and allegations of bias.

A qualified ref wrote on here about that law and IIRC, he said that the six seconds should start when the opposition players leave/are no longer in the penalty area and if the keeper places the ball on the ground then that is classed as releasing the ballSomething that has long being an annoyance of mine and I know other people on here, is finally being addressed.

That's the law that should be enforced

No bookings for any of the PSG players as they jumped over the hoardings to their fans TWICE ?? They would have booked half the team if we did it.

Well that’s one idea. But at least they’re trying something. It sounds quite fun aswell, with the crowd no doubt joining in the countdown.

Not seen it but approaching the stands in celebration is not an automatic caution in itself.
Only if you actually climb on to the perimeter fence or the referee judges that you’ve caused a security/ safety issue.

That the six seconds only starts when the opposition are out of the penalty area?
I’ve never heard that mate and it certainly hasn’t ever been in the laws of the game.

It might be the directive then and how it should be appliedThat the six seconds only starts when the opposition are out of the penalty area?

Yeah, and took two minutes to celebrate with some sort of entourage. He should have let Barcelona kick off with them all missing.No bookings for any of the PSG players as they jumped over the hoardings to their fans TWICE ?? They would have booked half the team if we did it.
Disgraceful from PSG. I can't stand them and their antics.
