At one point yesterday Gomes took a goal kick that didn't clear the area before a Watford player touched it, the refs decision, which is correct by the rules, is to retake the goal kick. Going by the same rules a goal kick has to clear the area before an outfield player can touch it, if it doesn't surely an offence has been committed and I think it should be a free kick to the opposing side. I have seen in the past a player deliberately touch the ball before it goes out the box because of a mistake. Does anyone else agree or is it just me.
