I'm unsure of the rules of a back pass. If he'd have caught it, would the free kick have been awarded from where Beevers played the ball from, or where the keeper caught it? Because if it's the former, it seems pretty pointless for the keeper to head the ball over considering had he caught it, he'd have given away an indirect free kick near the half way line? Again I'm unsure of the rule. Sent from my I-Oven using the internets
Where keeper picks it up. That's the point the rule is broken. The offence is keeper touching it with his hands.
If the keeper had caught or controlled it in any way, it's the offense of the keeper and as such an indirect free kick no nearer than the 6yd line. However he is allowed to make a save, so no offense if he tipped it over with his hands.
Silly question but had he tipped it over would he be sent off for denying a goal scoring opportunity An outfield player would does that also apply to the keeper?
