How many fans know what the 'D' is for outside the goal area?

The ref blows for offside. The defender taking the free kick passes back to the goalie who misses it and the ball goes in the goal? What does the ref decide?

The ref should award a corner. For a ball to be deemed in play from an indirect free kick (for offside) it has to be touched by another player. Because the goalkeeper in this instance did NOT touch the ball and it it rolled over the goal line that is deemed the back line, so a corner is awarded.

What happens if it doesn’t go over his head and roles along the floor

....same rule applies, a corner is awarded.

Unless the referee is officiating at a Rotherham match.
Then to give the opponent even chance of winning a home player must be sent off, even for pulling up his socks.
A corner would be too lenient so a direct free kick is awarded and retaken enough times until the more established club scores a winner.
The match must then be ended regardless of how many minutes have been played

Hope that clears up EFL rule 58b (Roth). Affectionately known in refereeing circles as Howard,s Way

Is it for Hugill's falling down zone!

😂 yes D for dive

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

The D is part of the penalty area

Well it is according to the ref at West Brom

[Brin]

After such an awful mistake, he needs demoting to the national league and sent for retraining.

I’d recommend a sideways move perhaps into administration.
Shouldn’t be let anywhere near a whistle and officialdom ever again.

Anyone else know?

How many of our players know what the two posts and crossbar covered in netting inside the goal area are far.
