This is an interesting "role play" idea.

Your the ref in the situatio, what would you do?


Situation;

It's the quarter-final of Euro 2008. The Netherlands are a goal down
with just seconds remaining of added-on time. The referee awards
a corner kick to the Dutch.

The Netherlands keeper leaves his goal and races into the opposition
penalty area, but the corner is hit too high and is likely to swing past
the far post out of play, well out of everyone's reach.

Two Dutch players hoist the keeper high in the air, rugby-style. They
do not block, impede or interfere with any opponents as they hold the
keeper steady in the air like a towering statue.

The ball flies towards him and he meets it perfectly to head it into the
back of the net.

What would you do in this situation?

Is it allowed? You ARE the ref!

well...
*grabs his rules of the game book*
personally, i can't see anything wrong with this.

the only thing i am going to say is...i hope it doesnt happen when i referee my first game on wednesday(if i dont have to call it off coz of the weather)

I noticed this on BBC Sport once and found it interesting.

Not the exact scenario, just the concept.

But, I would say that it should be allowed. Theres nothing that I can think of to say otherwise.

 

[Zense_United]

its not wrong to do that, its not even in the rules of not to do

Disallowed with an Indirect free kick coming out.

Why? I'm not saying you're wrong, just interested to know the actual rule on this

 

[Cappy]

Was going to wait to post what I would call and why for a little bit. It looks a fun thread and I didn't want to kill it right away.

Although when I posted the correct call in the Euro's that didn't stop anyone from arguing either.

So get it posted so I can spend three days telling you how wrong
you are before apologizing and crawling back under my stone

 

[Cappy]

Was gonna post it in a couple hours, but see what other members said first

Waiting for final answer with anticipation...

Keano, start a poll.

Let's see what everyone thinks.

Goal or no goal.

If no goal, what is the restart?

 

[Guest]

Poll added.

 

[Cappy]

By the way, I voted no goal

 

[Guest]

Well I clicked goal. I really can't see anything wrong with it.

I'm sure I'm wrong Cappy because you know your stuff when it comes to this, but
until I see something to tell me why it shouldn't be a goal I'll stick to my guns

 

[Cappy]

Fair played, and in alot of instances I wouldn't be surprised if it were ruled that way.

 

[Boomhauer50]

come on and tell us why its disallowed because im with zuco on this i think its fine but u seem a bit too sure so come on hurry up please

 

[RichardsReds]

I'm voting no goal. This is just ridiculous!

 

[Jazz 16]

Id allow it for the sheer audacity of it all but it aint rugby so I reckon no goal!

 

[Keano!]

Reason I said no goal...

...there us a rule stating that no player may use objects other then himself including
opposing players and posts/crossbars to gain any advantages

Therefore, the player is gaining an unfair advantage...that's my view on it anyways.
