Question Number: 34895

Other 2/28/2023

RE: Rec/Select Under 16

Brian Fleming of Bellevue, WA USA asks...

This video circulated on Facebook, and as you can see in the comments a spirited debate ensues... Curious to get your take...

On one hand, keeper making a reasonable play here IMO, no contact, attackers touch puts ball outside his own reach and attacker simulating.

On the other hand, attacker being physically intimidated arguably denies goal scoring opportunity.

I'm torn, if the attacker makes any touch that preserves the scoring opportunity I'd be more likely to award PK, but my instinct is no call. So I bet that means I'm wrong :)
