Might want to use the latest rankings to make your playin brackets or wait until midnight tonight. Several teams moved since you built it. I have #1 playin Canby winning big against McKay and #2 LO doing the same against North Salem.

Totally Unrelated to brackets

I was at the SHS vs WVHS game. Towards the end of the match the keeper for WVHS kicked the ball straight up in the air, ran to the corner of the box and caught it with (what it looked like) one foot in and one foot out. The A/R on the far side raised his flag. Play stopped after she kicked it again and the center ref ran over to conference. After they spoke the center ref preformed the equivalent of a jump ball in hoops where he drops the ball between two rival players and play resumed. Two questions;

1. Can a keeper kick the ball to herself?
2. Shouldn't SHS been awarded a free kick or PK if the keep was straddling the 18-yard box line?

Thanks for the help in clarifying.

I believe it should have been a free kick for a handball infraction on the keeper.

I believe it shouldve been an indirect free kick to the other team from the spot she touched it the second time. Similar to an illegal back pass. The foot in/foot out doesnt come into play as it would be the position of the ball not player anyway.

Here's what happened: Westview passed the ball back to the gk, she tried to clear it but shanked it, ball going straight up. She then caught the ball. Perfectly legal. Equate it to a defender shanking a clearance and the gk catching the ball.

Ah yes, the good old clearance shank. We have a number of them in every game we play. I used to expect that seniors would be able to actually avoid shanking the ball and hit it solidly every time, but those expectations went away early. Sad when I can watch some of our 17 year olds play and they have similar skills to some 10 year olds.

The sad part is she caught the ball with one foot outside the box and there was no call. Another example of those stellar metro league officials we've become accustomed to.

The sad part is that you don't know the rules of soccer but you think you do. All that matters is where the ball is, where her foot was at is irrelevant.

Here is a question for you then:

What would the difference in these two situations;
1. the defender passes the ball back to keeper. keeper redirects the ball with her foot, then picks it up in the box.
2. defender passes the ball back to keeper. keeper shanks her kick and then catches the ball in the box.

Shouldn't both situations yield the same results?

Interesting. And I have not consulted the rule book. It seems like both would yield an indirect kick at the point of the infraction. But since the keeper shanked it, I think that changes things as it is not an intended pass back. For example, we know that a keeper can pick the ball up in the box without an infraction when a defender shanks it or deflects it and it goes to the keeper. I am thinking that when the keeper shanked it to herself the same concept applies. But again, I didnt research it!

You are correct. It is intent that is the key
