Question Number: 13015Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 6/11/2006RE: Rec College Corey of Dublin, OH USA asks...This question is a follow up to question 12385 Would then a goalie standing with two feet outside the box, say in front it, facing his own goal with arms stretched over the penalty area and ball in hand be violating the handling rule? Answer provided by Referee Mike Gartenhaus corey, illegal handling by the goal keeper is determined by where the ball and his hands are, not where the keeper's feet or body are.
If the ball is inside the penalty area, there is no foul.
Thanks for writing.

View Referee Mike Gartenhaus profileAnswer provided by Referee Chuck Fleischer Look to where the ball is, nothing else. This is not basketball, or gridiron football when a foot just touching a field boundary, with the ball 2 feet inside the boundary, stops play. Where is the ball, if inside the penalty area [any part of the ball touching or over a line of the penalty area] it may be handled by the goalkeeper, given no other violation of Law 12.
Regards,
