128. Howard Webb, 2010

Click to enlarge, and debate the strip below the line. Keith Hackett's verdict 1) Yes. Provided the kick-taker did not use excessive force when he aimed the ball at the keeper, he's done nothing wrong: it's a salutary lesson for the keeper, who should have been concentrating on the match, not on complaining. Thanks to Nelson Herbert for the question . 2) Speak to the player. Let him know that you will allow him to play, provided he reports to you after the game so that you can take a photo of the slogan on his head, which you will then send with your report to the FA, so it can be translated. It would be interesting to see his reaction if it is indeed an abusive message. Thanks to Guy Pierce . 3) Providing they communicate the changes to you before making them, and providing that the goalkeeper is clearly identified at all times, then this is allowed in law. Also be aware that, at every corner kick, the change back can only take place during a stoppage in the game. You can only intervene if you believe this is a deliberate tactic to waste time. Tell the away team to cool down, and make them aware that the home side are acting within the laws. Ben Marlow wins the shirt for this question .
