Hobo, the examples I think of, are the same... refs making and not making calls because of the time or place, or score. None of that matters, nor should it.
JL MANN game last year, the keeper "out of her box", slides down to block a shot from charging foward, she gets it with her arms, no doubt what so ever... ref calls nothing... only mins left. Are you kidding me?
She was 5 yards outside the 18, and it was hit just like they do with their hands and arms in the box... NO CALL, come one.
arrgy was that you?
The keeper outside of the penalty area is like any other player and should be called for handling if she uses her hands or arms to play the ball. It should be a direct free kick from the spot of the foul. (Although I've actually seen referees incorrectly award an indirect kick for this infraction.)
