We just played a game and a couple of things happened that I wanted to get information on. U10 girls
1st - We had a goal called back as the player called my ball before she shot. I have heard that this is obstruction but rarely called as it wasn't done to scare anyone off and was barely audible. I have also heard that this is an old rule that is no longer valid. In what case should it be called if at all?
2nd - deliberately sitting on the ball in your own penalty area - not the GK. What is the call on this? The ref awarded us an indirect free kick, I felt that it should have been a penalty kick as it was a deliberate attempt to stop a near certain scoring opportunity, just as a hand ball would be.
