I have seen it enforced once and only once. It was the last minute of a preseason friendly, and cost my team a 1-0 lead, as the other team scored (indirectly) from the resulting free kick. I couldn't believe the ref would choose then to apply a rule so commonly ignored.
The only time I've seen it enforced was in the Womens World Cup final between Canada and the US, against the Canadian GK who had been warned twice already that game for it. The rest of the world was furious, but it was the correct call... and after two warnings it was also the "right" call.
Which is what happens when refs decide to warn people instead of just follow the laws of the game. It's so frustrating!
