Much as I disagree with the players kicking the ball out to get treatment for a player, you don't take advantage like that.

Referees should decide.

We have even seen referees indicate to a player to kick the ball out to stop play. Ridiculous!

That's just not Cricket.

I saw this yesterday somewhere, was it on TV?
Situations like this all come down to the players/managers and their sense of Fair Play.
If the player intended to put the ball in net then his manager should tell his team to let them walk one in, we've seen it before.
If a player passes it to the keeper and the keeper attempts to kick it and misses and it goes in, it's a goal.
The key is to not pass it back between the pipes, thus eliminating any chance of a goal.

However, if you analyze the entire play if any of the officials had seen it and called it by the book they could have easily escaped from the situation with no problems (well almost, see below). The restart should have been made to be retaken for one of two reasons, 1. the player took two touches of the ball, or 2. rolling ball.

I say 'with no problems' but the problem would have become the referees as they tend to get it in the ear when they call things 'by the book' thus the movement towards a little leniency as in the location of the throwin, freekick etc.. Have you ever heard or said 'just get on with it?'

It was not a free kick, it was a throw in, that he controlled and then kicked towards the goal.

I'm not sure the guy was trying to score by the way. Some Guisley fans on their forum criticised the 'keeper for not trying very hard to save it, but he had no chance. The conversation with the Guisley manager should have resulted in either a) a walk in goal, b) the referee advising the Guisley manager that the linesman may have 'seen' a foul throw.

well let's pretend it was a dropball.... DOH!

The ref could have got out of that one easily, just say "I wasn't ready take the throw again" after all play had stopped and restarted after an injury.
What a load of nonsense.

He blew the whistle to restart.
I guess play restarted from a throwin so what he did after that was correct.
It is the players/manager who are at fault here.
