| Palmer free kick 18:34 - Apr 5 with 1241 views | Bluecasp |
Just seen the highlights again and it looks like Palmer saves the ball after the pass back takes a small touch of his boot, Does that not then mean that he can save the ball with his hands as its no longer a pass back? Not that it really matters as the resulting free kick block from Morsy was one of our few highlights, |  | | |  |

Yeah the ref got it wrong. Probably didn't see it Palmer play it with his foot.
I remember Hladky did the same last season...he wasnt penalised. |  |

....what's stopping keepers just controlling a back pass with their feet and then picking it up?
Lets face it the rule is ridiculous and it should at least merit a penalty, and probably a red card.
He stopped an obvious goal through "foul play" and all they got out of it was an indirect free kick that's very difficult to score from. |  |

Thought at the time that should probably be a red card as it's not really any different from a defender deliberately sticking his arm out to block a shot on the line. |  |

Agreed, it's handball effectively. Just as it's not allowed outside the area. An indirect free kick from that position is probably on a par with a corner for the potential of scoring. A penalty or red card should be given. |  | | |

My personal opinions are not included in the laws so I'm not surprised. | | | |
