Ball stuck in goalkeeper's equipment - penalty corner. In what I like to think of as saner times, this generally no fault occurrence (we are not talking about a goalie catching and hold the ball) resulted in a restart with a bully 5m from the circle. Why the change? A bully wasn't considered exciting enough, and more penalty corners lead to more goals being scored. Is that fair? No, but who cares about fair? The same thing has happened with accidental deflections of the ball up off goalkeeping equipment that may have fallen in a way that led to dangerous contesting for the ball. Game stopped, and penalty corner awarded (or worse, allow the dangerous play to occur and then penalise), when it used to be a bully restart. Deflections up off defenders' sticks are treated in the same way, penalty corner. Not entirely fair when a close range shot at the goal may be travelling at a velocity in excess of 100kph. Isn't that dangerous? Yes, often, but don't try to convince anybody of that.
Thank you sir and Madam s
