It might be the directive then and how it should be applied
Well if it was, it was a directive that was never acted upon.
In fact I can’t ever remember a goalkeeper being penalised for it off the top of my head.

And yet they’ve introduced this stupid rule that the ball boy can’t throw the ball to the player when it’s a throw in, thus slowing the game down.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.

Delaying the restart of play is a cautiounable offence.
I know it is. But leaving the field of play to celebrate a goal isn’t automatically classed as a delaying the restart, was my point.
"An indirect free kick is awarded if a goalkeeper, inside their penalty area, commits any of the following offences: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.
controls the ball with the hand/arm for more than six seconds before releasing it"
The law is above. Anything else is just interpretation, and might vary between referees, competitions, countries, leagues etc.

That’s a directive from The English Premier League only, intended to remove the advantage the home side gets from ballboys acting under instruction and avoid conflicts that we’ve seen recently.
It won’t be in operation tonight.
It’s not a change to the laws of the game, which this trial will hopefully lead to.

It was crazy how they got away with it, TWICE !Yeah, and took two minutes to celebrate with some sort of entourage. He should have let Barcelona kick off with them all missing.
Disgraceful from PSG. I can't stand them and their antics.
It is when the celebration lasts two minutes and involves the whole team entourage!I know it is. But leaving the field of play to celebrate a goal isn’t automatically classed as a delaying the restart, was my point.
