Laws of the Game-I learn something every day

Post by ecc » Fri Feb 21, 2020 8:49 pm

Well, not quite every day but have just read something I'd never heard of before.

In a match in France tonight (live, just happened) between Metz and Lyon, Lyon were awarded a penalty.

Keeper saved it but referee ordered it to be retaken as the keeper was (apparently) well off his line when the bloke took the kick.

OK, all standard fare so far. BUT a different Lyon player took the penalty the second time. I didn't realise this was allowed. I can't ever recall seeing or hearing (about) this happening before.

New one on me.

It’s a dead ball. Anyone can take it. If it’s a shootout then that’s a different matter.

I really didn't know this rule. It's not that often referees order a penalty to be taken again even though most keepers seem to move forwards before the kick is taken. But never seen the taker "replaced". I can see the logic. I presume the manager has this as a policy although you do see players argue over who's taking the first one. Not that it's an issue for us. :)

They have to make the referee aware that there is going to be a different taker, that being said.

One of the draconian rules I’d change. Keeper should be able to come off his line as long as he’s not less than ten yards away when the ball is kicked. I’d also give a goal kick if the pen is saved. It seems unfair for the keeper to save it but get done on the rebound.

Aye but a penalty is generally given as punishment for preventing a goal. If it was a free kick bouncing off the wall you get another crack, so why not a penalty?

Monitoring 10 yards from a moving ball scenario would be much more difficult than 12 yards from a stationary one.

You could say the keeper must be on his line when the ref blows for the kick to be taken, but then can move anywhere as long as he stays inside the 6 yard box.

I wasn't aware until recently that the ball doesn't have to be inside the 1 meter quadrant for a corner kick. I'd often wondered how players got away with this. Apparently as long as at least one micron of the ball is within the outside of the white line then the kick is legal. Surely the game now needs VAR to monitor this!! ;)

Any part of the ball touching the line is perfectly acceptable.

Similar to feet and throw ins - any part of foot on or behind the line is acceptable.

Think about penalties how often do you see the ball only just on the spot - same principle

I once got replaced as a penalty taker during a game.

After watching John Francis give the eyes to a keeper feigning going right, but hitting it left. The next school game I managed to blag the normal penalty taker to let me have a go and that I knew the perfect penalty.
Except when I dinked it, the keeper was just stood there waiting for it. The ref spared my blushes for encroaching, but the regular penalty taker soon got the ball back in his hands.

Just to be picky, but the ball doesn’t have to be “touching” the line, but part of it has to be over it.

Its same with goal line tech. The whole of the ball has to cross the line so the “base” of the ball may be over, but the “edge” can overhang the line and not be a goal

Always amazes me when we get a corner at the BL/CF end and the number of the away fans who go mad at Westwood when he does this.

On the odd occasion when the ref comes to double check and leaves it as it is the sheer look of disbelief is a sight to behold.

Sorry wills that's not correct.

On a corner then the ball has to be inside the quadrant. Inside includes any part of the ball touching the line.
With goal line the whole of the ball has to be over the whole of the line. If it is slightly touching then no goal.

If none of the ball is inside / touching quadrant then it is deemed play has been incorrectly restarted.

Think you need to re read what I posted.

Inside the quadrant includes the ball touching any part of the line.

None of the ball has to be touching the line, it just needs to overhang. That’s the rule.

The original answer was the ball has to be inside the quadrant. However inside includes any part of the ball touching any part of the line.

What is wrong with that.

That is the laws of the game

Not sure if I was talking 2 or 3d. What iwas saying is what the laws of the game state.

Use the simple principle I gave and there is no question of doubt

That's not a conclusive argument. I have never taken an exam in the LOTG but I think I know them pretty well, and this particular law was either changed or re-emphasised to represent what paulatky says, a few years back.

Which begs the question, when were you last specifically examined on this particular law and gave your answer and were marked correct?

Did you know that you can't score an own goal from a corner?

If you were to shoot at your own goal from a corner kick, and (impressively, but equally bizarrely) get the ball past your keeper, and over the line... the opposing team would be awarded a corner kick, not a goal.

Yes I,did and even more bizarrely if you score directly from an indirect free kick into your own goal a corner is the restart.

Strange one indeed. The penalty though is simply a direct free kick taken from the 12 spot....the only difference is that the referee must be informed who is taking a penalty. So here they would have told him of the change and the ref would let the keeper know.

Even more bizarrely..... When it did happen in a football league game (a defender kicking the ball directly into his own goal from a free kick) the referee awarded a goal by mistake.

What's your definition of "touching"? If it means "in physical contact with" (i.e. the normal definition we all use) then I'd suggest you're the only one refereeing to this definition. We all regularly see corner kicks where the definition given here is used:
http://www.kenaston.org/the-pitch/law-17.htm
"As long as part of the ball touches or overhangs the line of the quarter circle, the corner kick is legal" (I'm not making any claims for that site - just that's the standard we see applied)

I understood what dpinsussex was saying and I understand why others are arguing the point, however, it really is nit picking and something which has crept into the modern game in the past 10 years, along with lots of other changes which have done absolutely nothing to enhance the enjoyment of a game and which, in fact, have made the job of the officials more difficult.

The issue seems to be that "in" is not defined in the laws. So, it's become accepted that the corner quadrant will be governed the same way as the by-line etc. "All of the ball, all of the line". You'd think the IFAB would see this new way of taking corners taking root and clarify. Then there's be no possible confusion or personal interpretation.

"In" is technically described in the LOTG. The whole of the ball must be outside/ over the line to be out of play or a goal. The same therefore applies to the corner kick. All the time a part of the ball is touching the line then we are good to go.
Interesting when you look at the diagram on that website (which has no merit ) althiugh the same diagram is used in the LOTG it is clear that the ball needs to touch the line or be wholly inside.

dp have you finally come round to admitting you are wrong in that the ball has to be touching the line to be a valid corner.
Not at all

Quite the opposite

"In" is technically described in the LOTG. The whole of the ball must be outside/ over the line to be out of play or a goal. The same therefore applies to the corner kick. All the time a part of the ball is touching the line then we are good to go.
Interesting when you look at the diagram on that website (which has no merit ) althiugh the same diagram is used in the LOTG it is clear that the ball needs to touch the line or be wholly inside.
The diagram in the LOTG is silent on the issue being discussed. No such position of the ball is shown. I'd already looked at that. It says it's just some examples. You can't claim anything it's silent on backs up your position. Well, you can, but not credibly.

You cite the example of the goal line and then, bizarrely, reach entirely the opposite conclusion to the example you cite. If a ball is in midair and not touching the line (the normal use of the word - physical contact) but is overhanging the goal line, it's not a goal. So you seem to agree, although you can't bring yourself to say it, that if a ball is overhanging the line of the quadrant it is not outside the quadrant. Since Schrödinger never took corners, it, therefore, must be inside.

I don't know why you're picking a fight with people asking a perfectly reasonable question. Especially when you're wrong.

"liked" for clever use of Schrodinger. Though I almost unliked it again for non-use of umlaut! ;)

It must be a browser issue. Both your and my posts have the umlaut intact on my device.

That said, the fact that the umlaut is simultaneously present and not present is spookily pertinent....

Either there are funny marks on my computer screen, or my eyes are going funny, or Schrödinger's cat has been doing a bit of crafty editing. Or my memory is going, or my eyes are going funny.

Thanks for using a fantastic word in your response.

I am not picking a fight. Just quoting law. I referee semi professionally and have shown this thread to a number of fellow referees. They have all laughed at some of the posters on this thread and their lack of knowledge.

Every single one agrees with my stance on this as being correct.

The diagram does explain. The moment the ball does not sit inside the quadrant or touch the line then it is not an acceptable corner.

Sorry if you dont agree but spectators, players and managers generally do not know the LOTG inside out.

And yes we have to know the LOTG and do exams regularly to ensure we are up to date and knowledge is correct.

OK. I'll have to continue to believe the evidence of my own eyes both live and on TV that you are clearly refereeing this element to a different standard than at the professional level but you're obviously doing what you're doing to your association's satisfaction.

The association I referee to their satisfaction is the football association.
I no longer fall under my county FA

You might want to have a word with Graham Poll as well, and teach him how he was so badly wrong. See paragraphs 8 and 9:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footb ... ndits.html
Graham Poll wrote:Take the position of the ball at the taking of a corner kick. I was listening to the grating voice of Alan Green on 5Live on Saturday when he stated as an absolute fact that Wigan had scored a goal unfairly from a corner as the ball had not be placed inside the quadrant – the same fact was highlighted on Match of the Day.

However, when they showed the placement of the ball it was perfectly legal as if any part of the ball goes over the line marking the quadrant then it is fine. While the part of the ball in contact with the ground was outside the quadrant, the part in the air was overhanging it – thus making it legal.
You might at least go so far as to accept there are qualified people who disagree?

We get it - you're a referee so you must be right. And a Premier League linesman who checks the ball, sees it not touching but overhanging the line, and allows play to go on - presumably he's only a linesman so he's wrong?

dpinsussex did not say anything about being right or wrong or being better than anyone else because he is a referee.
The plane of the ball is touching the line and that is all that matters ---you say overhanging, however, there is nothing in TLOG which says that. The interpretation is exactly as dp says and is the one used by ARs and referees at all levels.
