I've a fairly trivial question for the refs and anyone else who might know.
A few times during the Down - Meath match at the weekend a ball hit the stop nets and came back onto the pitch. The keeper grabbed a different ball to set up quickly for his kickout. The ref didn't allow the keeper to hit a kickout until the 2nd ball was removed, which the keeper then had to do because umpires don't seem to be allowed to do this anymore.
If I was the goalkeeper, and looking to waste time, could I just leave the 2nd ball there and wait for someone else to remove it?
