8 What is considered goalkeeper possession? What is time-wasting? What should the referee do when the goalkeeper has clear possession? Time-wasting is when any player, including the goalkeeper, takes longer than necessary to restart play. Especially when there is a tactical reason to delay the restart. Referees should be sensitive to this and warn or caution. Goalkeepers are considered in possession and control of the ball is they have it immobilized between any part of their body and any other thing else, except for an opponent, for greater than one second. Referees should error on the side of safety and not allow a GK to be challenged for the ball if they are already in control of the ball. Indirect Free Kick Fouls
