| The six-second rule 20:05 - Oct 20 with 2085 views | Miaow |
What is the point of having it if it isn't enforced?
Pickford would have conceded numerous indirect free kicks yesterday if it had been.
Referees are so weak. |  |

It’s still on the IFAB website?
‘Law 12 allows a goalkeeper to control the ball with their hand(s) for no more than six seconds before releasing it into play. As well as wasting time, a goalkeeper holding the ball for too long is an unfair tactic because the opposing team has no possibility to regain possession, as the goalkeeper cannot be challenged when in control of the ball with the hand(s). This behaviour often also leads to frustration for spectators’ | |

I've just done a Google and it suggests that the rule has been applied "subjectively" by referees since 1998...
Pickford probably would have had to stuff the ball up his shirt for Oliver to penalise him. | |

Surprised that it's still in IFAB, I haven't seen it used for eons.
Genuinely thought it had been dropped. | |

This. I have only seen it used twice but it is very much still on the books. If refs used it sensibly- a warnign first, and only where there is obvious arseing around, it would improve matters hugely.
Saw it once in a non league game about 5 years ago.
And then, incorrectly applied by a plainly biased and deeply unpleasant ref in a u14s game, to a keeper who was already 7-0 down, and playing it off the deck as a goal kick (to which the rule simply does not apply). |  | | |

But then, if they all started enforcing it, the size of bollôcks required would rapidly diminish.
Then again, remember when they started advancing free kicks 10 yards for dissent? That was short lived. | |

Again- stupid fa failure. It was the perfect rule, but spoiled by players complaining that it actually disadvanged them on occasion. The very simple solution was to offer the option of 10 yards forward (or in any direction) but that was too difficult for the morons who make the rules. | | | |

I'm a ref, I give it to 10 and give a hurry up. Only once have I had to book a keeper after that.
But professional players just take the p*as - as Pickford did yesterday. |  | | |

Is this vastly different from the 5 second rule of eating food that's hit the floor? |  |

We scored a goal from it soon after the rule was introduced, a League Cup first leg game away to Charlton in around August1997.
Charlton GK was penalised for holding the ball for six seconds in the six yard box. The Charlton player lined up on the goal-line, someone touched the ball to Venus who smashed it in. |  |

A lot can happen in six seconds - George's brother-in-law in George & Mildred often sat in the chair next to the bright table lap and exclaimed that the lamp was rather bright - taking less than six seconds to arrive at that fact. | |

You dont need to book them. One indirect free kick after 8 or 9 seconds and it stops.
Adding time doesnt help. Its about tempo and momentum of the game. | | | |

as much as people were complaining about it, and it was annoying, it never felt like it stepped into booking territory, and then you match it up against us and how flippin long it takes us to take throw ins or corner kicks thesedays. I suspect the ref was treating us as equally poor at our efforts to keep the game moving, which is why he barely added any time on for it considering. | | | |

Refs should be told to enforce the 6 second rule from the off. First time - a warning. Second offence - a yellow card. Next offence - 2nd yellow. Repeatedly telling a keeper to hurry up is pointless.
The indirect free kick for the offence is useless as it's been shown that it's near impossible to score from such a situation & it usually delays a game for several minutes with all the encroaching, holding etc. |  |
