Question for the referees on here

Out of interest why was Mignolet not sent off for catching the backpass?

Clear (own) goalscoring opportunity that wasn't it?

or can you not get sent off for offences punished by indirect free kicks?

Sorry but :lol::lol::lol:

The rules state that a back-pass is a yellow card. Because this rule is clear, this rule overpowers the "denying a clear goalscoring opportunity" as it is open to interpretation.

Also, almost every back-pass is one that will go in.

No it doesn't - quote it!

And it's a Law not a rule
 
Re: Backpasses

It would have went in if he hadn't caught it,so I suppose it was a bit more serious than just catching it in a less serious position
 
Re: Backpasses

apparently it is deliberate hand ball, which is a mandatory booking (mandatory as in when a Ref decides to) technically he could have been sent off as he was denying a goal scoring opportunity.

I would guess that there will have been twenty or so back passes free kicks in SAFC games since the rule was introduced and this is the only time I can remember a card being issued

Dowd making a tit of himself as usual

I thought it came under the offside rule?

I'm probably wrong as I'm shit with the rules like.

Thanks for this though
 
Re: Backpasses

This is true like. But it still shouldn't be a booking?

Its a strange one though if Mig handled outside to box to stop someone going past him to score would that be a booking?,it might even be a red? yet yesterdays was stopping a definite goal

A goal keeper can not be penalised for handball in the penalty area.

Pass back is a technical offence, like offside, foul throws and the ball not leaving the area during a goal kick. They are not classed as a foul or misconduct.

Only thing he might get away with is claiming it was unsporting conduct.

That's what I thought made, thanks for this.
 
Surely all backpasses could be classed as unsporting conduct since you are deliberately breaking the rules when you pick it up. Should never have been booked IMO
 
Re: Backpasses

I read a small article on it earlier somewhere.

'A goalkeeper handling the ball in his own penalty area is never a direct free-kick or penalty, whether from a backpass, catching a cross or making a save. (As we all very well know.) There is separate reference made to goalkeepers handling backpasses. The penalty for this infraction is an indirect free-kick to the opponents at the place of the infraction. However, Law 12 also specifically says that a red card cannot be given to a goalkeeper for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity by handling the ball in his own penalty area.'
 
Re: Backpasses

I was more shocked the mig caught it lol
should of punched it out
 
Re: Backpasses

I didn't think it merited a card either. I have never seen a goalkeeper carded for a back pass that was 10 yards away, so whats the difference from 40 yards? Technically it's the same thing.

"Unsporting behaviour" is fairly subjective. I expect the ref was distinguishing between when an idiot keeper hasn't realised it was a backpass, and when he knowingly collects a backpass to prevent a goal. As far as I can tell, refs seem to have carte blanche when it comes to classifying things as "unsporting behaviour".

The referee has to submit a report, so I will assume his reasoning will be revealed?

Not that it really matters, anyway.
