Unbelievable response from efl regarding 6 second GK Law

whilst I am aware that Krull is an expert at this, I would wish to see it stamped out at all games, so sent an email to EFL.

this is the response I recived
Thank you for your e-mail.

Having liaised with the Referees’ Manager in relation to the 6 second rule, we would advise that officials manage this area of the game at their discretion, taking action when infringements become very apparent and/or persistent. There has to be some degree of flexibility and understanding from officials, and in turn, players themselves, in relation to ongoing management of any perceived ‘time-wasting’.

Referees can of course take action by speaking to or cautioning the goalkeeper, as well as adding time allowed at the end of 90minutes.

We hope that this outlines the procedures in place relating to this particular rule.

Thank you for contacting the EFL.

Kindest regards,

Niamh

    - sorry yes, its a law within the game that is never actioned (n/m) (NCFC) - Mr_Biff, Oct 18, 13:35:14
      - i think the law is there more to encourage the goalkeeper (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Oct 18, 13:41:48
        
        detail (NCFC) - Nelsons final flanel, Oct 18, 14:59:18
        
        ...and it's always open to the ref to just add on a bit more time if teams waste time (NCFC) - Bertie Russell, Oct 18, 13:55:43
        
        The game lasts 90 minutes the ref can't randomly add additional time. (n/m) (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Oct 18, 14:06:50
        
        but he can for time wasting (n/m) (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Oct 18, 14:11:07
        
        No he just adds on the time that was wasted so the game should still be 90 minutes. (n/m) (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Oct 18, 14:11:57
        
        err that what i meant ... (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Oct 18, 14:16:44
        
        point is, the ref wouldn't actually have to do it (NCFC) - Bertie Russell, Oct 18, 14:29:29
        
        That's how it's suppose to work now. Are you suggesting the ref "pretends" to add on time! (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Oct 18, 14:42:22
        
        There’s nothing wrong with how the rules are now (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 18, 17:26:25
        
        That’s actually the answer to all issues (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Oct 18, 17:42:01
        
        exactly (n/m) (NCFC) - Bertie Russell, Oct 18, 17:56:25
        
        Sorry misunderstood... (n/m) (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Oct 18, 14:18:14
