Anyone else notice, that every time he caught the ball (about 3 times I think), he walked to the edge of the goal area, whilst bouncing the ball !!!!
Totally against the rules, but the ref or opposing players never pulled him up on it.

Isn't the only rule these days that you have six seconds, which is rarely enforced, to get rid once it is in your (goalkeeper's) hands?

Which part of the laws of football says he can't bounce the ball?Originally Posted by BLUETIT

Also go down to “ how many times “
The 'how many times' thing comes from the rules for indoor football in America.
Isn’t that ‘Indoor Soccer Rules & Policies’. As soon as you see the word ‘Soccer’ you know it’s an American law.
Weird way to share a link, but when Iooked at what I presume is the one you're talking about, it says:
There is no limit to how many times a goalkeeper can bounce the ball in soccer
And also in that article is this bizarre claim:
only rare cases of players being taken out of games due to injury have ever been reported in the history of soccer.
When was the last time you seen a goalkeeper bounce the ball, all the way to the edge of their area ?
They just walk with it these days
What are you saying in this thread?
That goalies can carry the ball to the edge of the area, but walking while bouncing it is totally against the rules?
That's the only law that I could find that Tony might be referring to.
It also says an indirect free kick is awarded if " the goal keeper touches the ball with the hand/arm after releasing it and before it has touched another player', but bouncing it isn't releasing it. The laws go on to say " A goalkeeper is considered to be in control of the ball with the hand(s) when:
the ball is between the hands or between the hand and any surface (e.g. ground, own body) or by touching it with any part of the hands or arms except if the ball rebounds from the goalkeeper or the goalkeeper has made a save
holding the ball in the outstretched open hand
bouncing it on the ground or throwing it in the air
A goalkeeper cannot be challenged by an opponent when in control of the ball with the hand(s).'
No its not deemed the same.
What about bouncing the ball on the ground though?!My god, I've just posted the actual laws that say bouncing is not deemed the same
I put it in bold!!!
what a mare of a thread
Really interesting thread... one of those things that was the norm 20-25 years ago and has now gone away, but never really given it a thought as to why.
I noticed it but only because bouncing the ball like that seemed quite old fashioned and the sort of thing that keepers used to do in the 1970s.
You're thinking of basketball.
No I’m not
Id be grateful our goalie can actually hold it without fumbling or dropping it completely
😀
1931: the keeper may take up to four steps (rather than two) while carrying the ball.[14]
Who’s laughing now
Bouncing the soccer ball is a holdover from olden days where a goalkeeper was able to move in the penalty area if they bounced the ball (similar to a basketball dribble).
19.31? It’s only 18.06!!!
Shirley you can remember the 4 step rule
Of course I do, goalies would do more bouncing than those f*ckers on the door of the Top Rank!!
