This is if the handling was considered a "denial of obvious goal scoring opportunity" by the referee. A example of this is if a defender that is no= t the goalkeeper is standing near the goal, sees the ball might go into the net, and deliberately whacks it with his hand to deflect it. He would be sent off and the game would restart with a penalty kick by the other team. ******************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, http://www.embedinc.com/products (978) 742-9014.
