does this still apply to keepers or am i missing something. Counted the oldham keeper take around 10 steps last night. I'm assuming it's not law anymore or why don't refs enforce it if it is. |  | | |  |

I noticed that Tim Howard is the world champion at time wasting as well. I don't think any rules apply to keepers anymore but should an outfield player cast a shadow on a keeper its a foul. | | | |

I think the rule relates to time not steps. SUPPOSEDLY six seconds but whether refs are bothered is another matter | | | |

Yeah it was supposed to be seconds, they brought in the rule years ago. I stopped bothering counting how long keepers hold the ball for a long time ago as it regularly exceeds 10 seconds without the ref ever saying a word |  |

Correct. As per FIFA laws of the game.
Offences committed by goalkeepers:
A goalkeeper is not permitted to keep control of the ball in his hands for more than six seconds.
Edit
That includes when the goalkeeper has the ball under control ie bouncing or dribbling with it. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

Same here. Lost count how many time keeps well exceed 6 seconds. Ref's don't bother any more. |  | | |

Hang on, so if the keeper tries to dribble the ball up field then he has to get rid of it after 6 seconds? | | | |

Think that original rule was four steps, but hasn't been around for at least 15 years, maybe more.
The 6 second rule is really to stop inordinate timewasting. Sometimes I count the seconds and it seems ages but really it's only about 8 seconds. It's pretty trivial.
A keeper was punished for holding the ball for about 6.8 seconds at the Olympics in the women's tournament last summer though. Really harsh decision. |  |

And what about when a keeper has it at their feet, not even dribbling it. As far as I'm aware they can do that for as long as they like, as the ball is deemed as in play and he can be tackled by the opposition. |  | | |

Correct. The keeper can hold the ball for six seconds and then drop it. After he has done that the ball is deemed in play adn it is up to the opposition to tackle him or make him play it. |  | | |

I thought they scrapped that 6 second rule years ago |  | | |

So nothing to do with dribblng then. | | | |

and once he dropped it he can't pick it up again.
Same applies to a deliberate parry, (not a save) which is why you will see GKs chest the ball sometimes to bring it under control, that way they can pick it up if challenged. | | | |

How can you dribble with the ball in your hands? | | | |

Is there a rule to say that the keeper can't 'do a ballboy' and just lie on the ball to waste time. If anyone kicks him it's a foul but the ball is still in play, but not in his hands. If so we need to try and go a goal up and then get some fat bast&rd goalkeeper to lie on the ball for 89 minutes. |  |

I think they changed it from steps to time because opposition players were waiting until the keeper had taken a couple of steps, then deliberately getting in his way so he didn't have a clean kick.
They still do it with the 6 seconds, but at least the keeper can shift direction and move around them now. |  | | |

Look at a watch with a hand for 6 seconds, it is longer than you think, as an ex referee I always had players appealing for that, most keepers released on about 5.5 seconds. |  |

exept if you play for west brom and rob green is in goal |  |

what i really hate is when the ball goes out for a goal kick say on the left hand side of the goal ; the keeper then casually trots in slow motion to get the ball then rots even slower to the opposit right side of hs 6 yd box , places the ball down, does his stuff then launches it up field(or off for a throw in).
does my head in even when our keepers do it | |

You said does that mean he can't dribble with the ball.
The law says can't keep control of the ball WITH HIS HANDS for longer than 6 seconds | | | |

No such thing but would be stopped on the basis of dangerous (to himself) play or unsporting behaviour. | | | |

I used to throw the ball up as I hit the edge of the area and make contact again with the ball with momentum and long legs about 5 yards outside the area. Idiot teams used to claim for hand ball.
However a few refs gave free kicks against me for kicking it outside the area without bouncing (something like that) Weird, I'm suprised more keepers don't do it you can get 10 yards on a kick and refs never notice. |  |
