Anag Ram Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Apologies if this has been on here before, but I came across a rule this week which I found hard to believe. A team has a defensive free kick just outside their own box. For whatever reason (perhaps a misplaced pass back to the keeper) the ball goes straight into the net. What's the decision?

AmericanRam Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I would assume own goal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand the scenario? How can a team have a defensive freekick outside their own box from a misplaced backpass to the goalkeeper? Surely this would be an attcking freekick for the opposite team? And which net has the ball gone in? I'm confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GboroRam Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Something like a free kick on the goal line. Or something else stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 If I think you're saying that Richard Keogh has a defensive freekick and passes to Grant and it goes in, what's the decision? In this scenario I imagine a retake as the ball has to go forward, not backwards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 A defender, instead of kicking the ball forwards, takes the free kick back to his keeper but it goes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanRam Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I guess just a rekick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 It's actually a corner to the opposition. I don't get why as free kicks don't have to go forwards. I suppose it's treated a bit like a throw-in which goes into your own goal. I had never heard this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Bizarre rule which I've never heard of. I can't imagine it ever happening though, as most defensive freekicks are either short passes or punts upfield from the goalkeeper. I can never imagine Keogh for instace deciding to pass the ball back to Grant from a freekick in our own half. Why would he ever do that and what would be the point?

AmericanRam Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I have never heard of this rule either and I agree with Bris.I don't know why a freekick taker would do this anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rule might also affect a very windy day in which the ball was hit forwards but blew back into the net. It's an unlikely scenario I agree but an interesting one.

It's an unlikely scenario I agree but an interesting one. I think that the ball hoofed towards the opposition corner flag would be a better time wasting technique. Perhaps it originates from kids football where they genuinely felt a really windy day could play its part in such a scenario. I've been in situations before when I was in my early teenage years where I took goalkicks as I was the only one out of the back four that could clear our own box. I could therefore understand the rule where the ball has to leave the box for a goalkick. But this one I still don't get - and why a corner and not a retake? Bizarre. I'd hazard a guess that many footballers don't actually know this rule - the same about the throw-in rule. This goal should never have counted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVfFjdMNbZs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Another interesting one. - if a free kick is given inside your own goal area it can be taken from anywhere in that area. Players must be 10yards or outside the box whichever further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davenportram Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Didnt the keeper miscontrol it? In that case the goal stands because it was touched by another player after the throw in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Apologies if this has been on here before, but I came across a rule this week which I found hard to believe. A team has a defensive free kick just outside their own box. For whatever reason (perhaps a misplaced pass back to the keeper) the ball goes straight into the net. What's the decision?You are unclear of the terms here, but if you mean an indirect free kick for the defensive team, and they stick it straight into their own net, it'll be a corner to the opposition.The same goes for an indirect free kick the other way (except it'll be a goal kick) as well as a throw in (as long as nobody touches it).Another fun rule is that if at a goal kick (or a free kick in the box if I recall right), a keeper just knocks the ball, and a striker touches it before it has left the box, it's a dead ball and the goal kick has to be retaken. The ball, from a goal kick, isn't in play until it's left his penalty area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
