Always the summer's slipping away
Can I please have a video where a defender passes the ball back to his keeper and he touches is with his feet and handles it?

I'm having to put up with loads of tools in my football ground who insist this can't happen. :wenger:

Thanks in advance.
 
If it's a blatant backpass from the defender's feet, the keeper can't pick it up. Where's the problem?

Straight from Wiki: The back-pass rule is a rule in the game of football (soccer). Even inside the penalty area, a goalkeeper cannot use his hand to catch the ball if his teammates pass back the ball to him by feet. An indirect free kick is awarded to the attacking team if such rule is violated.
 
funny, I played in a game last night and chested the ball back to my keeper, expecting him to handle it. He dribbled and kicked it out, thinking he couldn't pick it up. He said he thought that around 98 the rule changed to where a keeper couldn't pick up a ball from his player no matter how it was played. head, chest, etc.
He's not the only one I remember saying this:confused:
 
But you can't chip it up to yourself and head it back.

He cannot directly handle the ball but can control it with his feet and then do so.

That's the bit I'm having to put up with and trying to rectify.

He can't handle the ball, if the ball is played back, end of.
ot even if he has 50 touches before doing so.

Didn't the Everton backup goalie do it this year? Or did he just handle it outside the box? I can't remember. Pretty sure he handled it though. Tried to find a clip but couldn't. That might get you going in the right direction.

Like DN said, he can't handle the ball AT ALL, regardless if he touched it with his foot before picking it up. Only off the head/chest can he handle it.
 
What would be the point of the rule if the goalie just had to trap it, then pick it up? The idea is to put a bit of pressure on the keeper, and encourage players to play the ball forwards more often. It needs to have a bigger effect than forcing the keeper to trap it first.
 
Allow me to give you the rules.

A player may knee, head, chest the ball back to the keeper and the goalie may then pick it up with his hands.

If the ball is DELIBERATELY, kicked towards the keeper ie passed to him he is not allowed to use his hands.

You are not allowed though to bypass the rule by say flicking the ball up to yourself or one of your own team to head/knee/chest the ball back to the keeper. Anyone who does that would give away in indirect free kick on the spot where the goalie touched the ball with his hands.
