Who is the obvious replacement? Mackail-Smith?

They aren't blessed with quality but I'd rather have the likes of Steven Fletcher or even David Goodwillie ahead of Kenny Miller.

Czechs just had a golden generation come through at the same time. They all got old and retired, they were my favourite team to watch in those days. They were punching way above their weight though, probably at their correct level now.

Did a quick google and got this, seems the ref was indeed correct;

An Indirect Freekick may be awarded when:

Quote:

2. goalkeeper touches the ball again with his hands after it has been released from his possession and has not touched any other player.

If the goalkeeper touches the ball again with his hands after it has been released from his possession and the ball has not been touched by another player, award an......................

INDIRECT FREE KICK to opponents if he handles the ball inside penalty area.

DIRECT FREE KICK if he handles the ball for a 2nd time outside of his penalty area.

EXAMPLE 1: - The goalkeeper throws the ball to a colleague who is outside of the penalty area, an attacker quickly moves to intercept the ball. The goalkeeper rushes out in an attempt to thwart the attacker, dives outside of his penalty area and fists the ball away from the attacker before any other player has touched the ball = DIRECT FREE KICK.

EXAMPLE 2: - The goalkeeper taking a free kick outside of his area, kicks it into his own area and picks the ball up before it has BEEN touched another player = INDIRECT FREE KICK.

Possession starts from the moment the goalkeeper has control of the ball - possession includes controlling the ball with his hand or arm, or parrying the ball. Beware of the goalkeeper who purposefully parries the ball downwards instead of catching it. By parrying the ball, he has in effect gained possession of the ball and released the ball all in one motion. If he then decides to pick the ball up after he has parried it, then (within the letter of the Law) the Referee could award an indirect free kick against the goalkeeper for touching the ball a second time (before it has touched another player) after he has released it from his possession. But be very careful with this decision, you need to be very very certain that the goalkeeper had deliberately parried the ball, as opposed to the ball ricocheting off the goalkeeper's hands. My advice would be for Referees to only penalise the goalkeeper, if you are 100 % sure that he deliberately parried the ball to gain some sort of advantage, for example, to waste time at the end of a game.

A goalkeeper is considered to have possession of the ball if he has the ball trapped on the ground with as little much as one finger on the ball.

The 1991/1992 Law change stated :
"Decision regarding when the goalkeeper is in possession of the ball:
...will be considered to be in control of the ball by touching it with any part of his hands or arms. Possession of the ball would include the goalkeeper intentionally parrying the ball, but would not include the circumstances, where, in the opinion of the referee, the ball rebounds accidentally from the goalkeeper, for example after he has made a save. "

Law 12 Decision No. 2 states that: "The goalkeeper is considered to be in control of the ball by touching it with any part of his hand or arms."

I can't get over how no one argued with the ref, so there must be something there. So I googled and found on wikipedia:

Quote:

The back-pass rule was introduced in 1992[4] to discourage time-wasting and overly defensive play after the 1990 World Cup was described as exceedingly dull, rife with back-passing and goalkeepers holding up the ball. Also, goalkeepers would frequently drop the ball and dribble it around, only to pick it up again once opponents came closer to put them under pressure; a typical time-stalling technique. An example was when Ireland goalkeeper Pat Bonner kept the ball for over 6 minutes against Egypt by dribbling it around his box and picking it up again. Therefore, another rule was introduced at the same time as the back-pass rule, with the same intentions. This rule prohibits the goalkeeper from handling the ball again once he has released it for play. This offence would also result in an indirect free kick to the opposition.
