Another refereeing question

[GTIF]

Attacker takes a long throw in
Goalkeeper attempts to punch it and completely misses it
As the ball is then about to enter the net a defender catches it
What action if any does the referee take

 

[Thorney]

If the ball is still in play (not crossed the goal line) Handball

 

[TartanFox]

Penalty. Handball.

Not a red card as the goal wouldn't have stood. Unsure if the player gets a caution.

Clearly handball but what decision does he make

 

[GTIF]

Penalty. Handball.

Not a red card as the goal wouldn't have stood. Unsure if the player gets a caution.

So what decision does he make and how does he restart

 

[Thorney]

Penalty

 

[Will Hay]

if its Mike Dean or John Moss consult VAR,Lee Mason will have the answer

 

[Brauny]

John Moss will just be catching up with a foul two minutes previously..........

So what decision does he make and how does he restart

He awards the penalty, and that is how the game is restarted. The ball was in play as soon as the player threw it in. A defender can't catch a ball in the penalty area and not give a away a penalty, that's an infringement, punishable by the award of a penalty. I'd have thought anyway.

From the 4 sentence description, the defender didn't deny a clear goal scoring opportunity as you can't score direct from a throw-in, hence couldn't be red carded, and my gut reaction is he'd get a caution, but I can see a case for not issuing a yellow.

Ref gives handball. So a penalty.

 

[GTIF]

Tartan is nearly correct
Caution for deliberate handball restart is a penalty

He awards the penalty, and that is how the game is restarted. The ball was in play as soon as the player threw it in. A defender can't catch a ball in the penalty area and not give a away a penalty, that's an infringement, punishable by the award of a penalty. I'd have thought anyway.

No case at all for not issuing a yellow
He caught the bucker deliberately

 

[Feckit]

Red card, penalty…

 

[GTIF]

Red card, penalty…

,,See above

 

[Tuz_Not_Tuzz]

Red card, penalty…

Can't be a red card because you can't score from a throw in, if the ball had gone in the net it would've been a goal kick. the defender's a berk for catching it.
