8 second goalkeeper rule on 18:25 - Mar 3 with 952 views | SullutaCreturned | Well then, this time it's going to be enforced eh. We'll see but I bet the players all get on referees backs and a month in we'll see the same thing, keepers holding onto the ball too long and referees ignoring it. Why would it be a nightmare to regulate? When the keeper catches the ball start counting, as the story says, at 5 put your hand up and use 3 fingers...1...2....3, if the keeper is still holding the ball it's a corner. I think it has to be taken further though, lets say after 3 incidents the keeper gets booked then ONE more time it's a red. If refs actually punish them the keepers will stop doing it. For too long now refs have allowed players to get away with cheating. |  | |  |

No, theyntried this before with 6 seconds. The keepers carried on doing it, the players harangued the ref when he gave an indirect free kick and slowly the refs stopped enforcing it. The rule may even still be on the statute books. |  | |  |

They can't even measure 10yds for a fee kick, what makes you think they can judge 8 seconds. |  | |  |

They enforced the injury time rule but after a few months forgot about it. |  |

Yep , and delaying the opposition taking a quick free kick was an automatic yellow card, certainly doesn't happen now. |  | |  |

Wasn’t the bounce about not being allowed to carry it? |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

You are probably right, so many steps then bounce the ball. |  | |  |

How do you know they can't measure 10 yards. The 6 law was enforced very easily when it was introduced. Goalkeepers made sure they got rid of the ball. It will be even easier to enforceme now the 4th official can easily count to 8 seconds as he is in communication with the referee. |  |

Is that why some games often have 10 minutes of added time in the second half. It is a law of association football not a rule. Competitions have rules |  |

Exactly what I mean, as I said fearlier, they'll forget about in in a couple of months, it'll fade away because the refs will get tired of the players having a go at them. Which is daft because when the players give them verbals then book them and send them off if needs be. All it takes is for them to enforce the rules strictly for a month and the bad behavioiur will become a case of here and there and not the norm. |  | |  |

"How do you know they can't measure 10 yards." Because many times I've seen the ref take 6 steps then 2 small ones. There was a discussion about it on here not so long ago. |  | |  |

I thought that , they brought it in once they stopped the bouncing of the ball after 4 steps, keepers then just kept hold of it for ages . |  | |  |
8 second goalkeeper rule on 12:37 - Mar 4 with 405 views | Boundy | This is one of a few reasons why I've stopped PL football , too many times the ref makes up his own laws or disregards the ones already in place , another is the placement of the ball for a corner kick , if a professional footballer needs to steal a couple of cms so he can kick a lightweight ball into the goal area then perhaps he needs to take up another profession. |  |

The story is one of a whole series of rule changes. For a time keepers could only move within their area as long as they bounced the ball. Then a four step rule was introduced so that regardless of bounces keepers could only take 4 steps with the ball in hand. Then there were other changes. http://www.goalkeeperhq.com/the-goalkeeper-possession-changes-and-rules/ As a school boy and uni keeper in the days of the bounce, I should know how many paces you could take between each bounce, but can't. It was probably four. |  | |  |

I started out as a keeper under 11s and in the end was an all rounder in more ways than one, so played in every position but mainly keeper until early 20s unril it played on me that I was pretty weak going to my right side, so that was the end of my george heyes days .....and it was a 4 step rule. |  | |  |

To be honest, it's easier to do 8 seconds than 10 yards, as already said, the 4th official can look at his watch then tell the ref. |  | |  |

Leave the count down for the crowd. Might add a bit of pressure on the keeper while reminding the ref. |  | |  |

Good idea, have an independent time keeper in a box who just watches the keepers and when they catch the ball he starts the timer on the big screen. Should be good for a laugh! |  | |  |
