Question Number: 13987

Law 10 - Method of Scoring 9/30/2006

RE: Under 14

c stanley of fargo, nd usa asks...

Facts
Goalie catches the ball on the goal line.
Goalie steps over the end line and takes the ball over the end line.
Is this a hand ball?
Do you award a direct kick or a corner kick?

Answer provided by Referee Keith Contarino

How on earth could the keeper carrying the ball out of play be considered a handling violation? The ball is off the field of play. How can there be any foul? Award a corner kick unless he carried it into the goal in which case if all the ball crossed all the line award a goal.

Answer provided by Referee Chuck Fleischer

Corner kick or a goal are the only possible decisions here. The ball is no linger in play once it crosses the goal line so it is impossible for a foul to happen.

NO! It left field. It would be a corner kick or a goal depending on if ball was between posts.
