RR,
I liked everything you said except for the clip above. It could very well mislead an inexperienced ref.

The location of the goalkeeper's feet doesn't matter at all. What is important is the location of the ball and the goalkeeper's hands/arms. The AR should check that the ball is NOT in contact with the goalkeeper's hands outside of the penalty area. In other words, as long as the keeper releases the ball while it is over or on the inside of the line, he has NOT infringed the laws no matter where his feet are when he actually kicks the ball.

This is actually a common misconception of the laws of the game and I just wish to ensure that fonzzy has it correct up front.


PS I wasn't really thinking about mechanics when I wrote my quick list in that earlier post, but since RR did a great job of bringing up that aspect I now wish to add:

8. Come to a complete STOP and then give your signal with the flag. Never signal while on the move.
