Goalkeeper handball?

[wilks_bfc]

When Reading had the free kick at the end and their keeper came up for it, did he handball it?

From the JML it certainly looked by quite a few of us, to have been punched yet play continued

[Milltown1882]

Yes

[ALP]

Yes he tried to punch it in, failed though but it was a deffo handball.

Keepers are allowed to handle the ball in either penalty area

Another glaring miss by the inept ref.

[dougcollins]

He definitely touched it, but of course the ref completely missed it- like he did most other things.

[wilks_bfc]

Thanks

I’ll transfer my appointment I’ve just made at Spacsavers to the ref then

[expoultryboy]

You definitely need to keep that appointment , you pressed an "a " instead of "e" . Haha

I was having this discussion with my girlfriend, she thought they weren't allowed to, thank you for the clarification, I will show her this!

[beddie]

Definitely, we’re on the halfway line in the lower stand and had a good view of it, can’t believe the ref or the liner didn’t see it.

Keepers only allowed to handle ball in own area

[beddie]

Another glaring miss by the inept ref.

Thank god he was inept by not giving them a pen when Ince was brought down. He’ll do for me.

.

But not in the same half

How interesting would it be to allow the opposition goalie to be able to handle in the other box, but the gamble is that the ball may end up at the other end going into an unguarded net.. Would definitely make it interesting

Could he catch it and form a maul?
