I believe the 6 seonds rule is no longer there, I'm sure other more qualified people will soon advise.......
Yes that was withdrawn a couple of seasons ago so the ref (who had the best performance we have seen for a long time) did know what he was doing. Unlike a lot of refs in the stand.
Law 12: "Indirect free kick An indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team if a goalkeeper, inside his own penalty area, commits any of the following four offences:
- controls the ball with his hands for more than six seconds before releasing it from his possession
- touches the ball again with his hands after he has released it from his possession and before it has touched another player
- touches the ball with his hands after it has been deliberately kicked to him by a team-mate
- touches the ball with his hands after he has received it directly from a throw-in taken by a team-mate

It has not be withdrawn. Most refs just choose to ignore it.
