My U13 GK daughter got called for delay of game today within the first 3 minutes of the game. She fielded the ball and had it in her possession for maybe 6 seconds and was called. Her current and previous coaches and trainers had always told her that she would be warned before being called (if it was even being called at all). Anyone else ever had to deal with this or was the ref just being picky?

Wow, thanks for everything. Literally, a cite to all of the Laws. Which is so much it's essentially nothing. So I guess I mean to say...thanks for Nothing. Douche.Originally posted by Just a Coach View PostComment

Referee here.. I have called that about once every other year and always after warning he keeper more than once. And always u16 and up.
Sounds strange to me.Comment

Sorry for being a stick in the mud here, but there is a six second rule. Or some variation of of it in every league.
If it's a rule in her league, then it's a rule in her league. Period.
While there are rules that most officials do not enforce, it's the officials that do not enforce it that are wrong. Not the officials that do actually enforces the rules.
There is actually a rule in the books for every single level of play, from u9 to World Cup that is totally ignored by almost every referee. I doubt any poster here can name it. But it happens on every level and referees allow it it due to "tradition".
Keepers are not allowed to hold the ball once they have picked up until they decide to release it. Yes, generally, on almost every level they are given a ton of leeway on this rule. I suggest that the referee that actually called it right should be applauded though.
There isn't a single written law that says a referee should give a warning, or help a player out during a game by giving a warning.
That said, there are rules that even almost every referee ignores at every level of the game. God bless them, but it's a tradition that is so stupid and so disadvantagiois to an opposing team. But I doubt anyone here knows what that is, and it happens in every game on every level.Comment

As a referee... Why would you give a warning and only call it after warning a player more than once? Is a rule a rule or is it just a rule after several warnings?Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Is an infraction only an infraction after you think they mean it or is a rule a rule? Just curious. I am totally on the side of referees for many reasons, but I can't understand how you can only call an infraction after several warnings for the infraction. ??Comment

Okay keyboard comando, don't be a jerk. Rules are rules. You don't warn the other team when their offsides, you just call it.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Oh, you poor thing! You might have to actually read and learn the laws of them game before complaining about how a referee enforces them. Let me give you a direct link to the exact rule that excuses your little Hope Solo from the laws of the game so you don't actually have to read more than a sentence or two....Originally posted by Unregistered View Post

Anyone who watches soccer at any level knows that this rule is rarely enforced. Because this rule is rarely enforced, how difficult would it be for the ref to go to each coach and/or GK before the game and tell them that they will be strictly enforcing the six second rule? A 15 second conversation with each team would prevent this type of an issue.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
But then that would prevent the ref from having his little "Gotcha" moment.Comment

Every referee has their own style. I call it when the keeper is trying to gain an advantage - like if they are up in points and he or she is just trying to run the clock.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
A good referee should apply the laws of the game and the rules of the competition in the spirit of the game. If I blew my whistle every time an infraction ocurred without understanding the flow of the game it would be a very long and angry match.
I didn't say this referee was wrong - we all have different styles.Comment

I have two keepers and both have been warned about this one time each but never called. When they got called on it they were blatant (and made me cringe). Their clubs and HS coaches encourage them to stall under certain circumstances. Because it is called so rarely, even at the professional level (Hope Solo does it all the time) then a ref should either tell keepers ahead of time they won't tolerate it or give them one warning. Sure players know the rules, but being still immature humans kids will assume they can always get away with something if they've never been caught.Comment

Once had a keeper called for 6 second rule after she had released the ball and held it at her feet, yet the opposing team never made a move to challenge her.Comment
