Freekick To Players If Goalkeeper Delays Goalkick

Referees will award a corner to the opposition if a goalkeeper holds on to the ball for too long, under a new system being considered by football’s lawmakers.

Under the proposed change, trialled successfully in the Premier League’s under-21 competition, goalkeepers would not be allowed to hold the ball for longer than eight seconds, with referees raising their hand and counting down from five seconds to zero.
