Next time try to develop a scenario that better supports your arguement. He deliberately plays the ball with his foot but does not apply enough power to his kick and the ball stops at the Penalty Mark. A player from the opposing team sees this and runs toward the ball to kick it for a goal. The Blue GoalKeeper sees him and before the opponent can reach the ball, the GK runs to the ball and grabs it with his hands. IFK for the opponent.
Referees judge the facts.
That's because they do not have an Advice to Referees book. You are correct in that the Law was implemented to prevent time wasting. I agree with you there. On The LOTG, article 12.20 stipulates that the requirement that the ball be deliberately kicked means ONLY that the play on the ball is deliberate and that the requirement that the ball be kicked to the keeper means ONLY that the play is to or towards a place where the keeper can legall handle the ball. It was a deliberate pass to a defender.
