Marking the pitch GK

Came out for the 2nd half today ,Our GK marked a ref point in the middle of his goal (centrally on the 6 yard box) , Booked by the ref for illegally marking the pitch?

As a goalkeeper myself you are not allowed to do this although most goalkeepers so it

I no understand, What markings did he make? Enough to be charged for criminal damage?

As far as i know, its not allowed, but its a very cheap booking to be honest....what game was it in?

Extract from 'Interpretation of the Laws of the Game andGuidelines for Referees' in respect of Law 1

If a player makes unauthorised marks on the field of play with his foot, he
must be cautioned for unsporting behaviour. If the referee notices this being
done during the match, he must caution the offending player for unsporting
behaviour when the ball next goes out of play.

got to agree with you,I dont know any Ref that has ever booked a player for that,i'm assuming and hoping there was a bit more to it

Surely that means most people that take corners are guilty and worthy of a tenner fine then, i know i often dig a nice spot to rest the ball.THIS RULE IS A JOKE

The uplands park groundsman would go ballistic...

Next season the FA are introducing a new rule. At free kicks and corners opposing teams are not allowed to put the NRFC goalkeeper under any pressure. His manager and his mum don't like it, and he gets all upset.

only one ref I have ever come across that I would think could be quite this pedantic. Sunday footie and whilst players should be booked for cheating or overly aggressive behaviour, I think marking a line on what is probably a dog walkers paradise in midweek is over the top

Its no use dangling a worm like that, name please?.............
