Team A scores a goal, dejected Keeper for team B goes to get the ball out of the net, One or more of the pumped up Team A players race after the ball to hurry up the game or just showboat and the pushing and shoving starts between the Keeper and the team that scored. All the while the center ref is marking in his book the goal, and the AR is running from the touch line back to the midfield. Nobody sees the fists, cleats, shoving and chaos going on in the net.
Question - Has there ever been a rule stating who is responsible for getting the ball back to midfield? I know this doesn't happen often, but this happens more and more when a team is on the comeback and wants to hurry up the game. Sure a card can be given for unsportsmanship conduct, but when refs aren't watching... what's the call?
