Awwwww Ref - Know The Laws
Statistically it�s counted as a shot off-target.
Yeah, you don't want it to Quack you on the head...
Yeah what was with that guy...
There was a rule maybe two years ago (has since be changed) that said if there is free kick to the defending team in thier own goalbox, then the free kick could be taken anywhere within the goalbox.
So if the goalkeeper was fouled a yard out from his goal line, he was able to take the free kick at the edge of the 18 yard box if he wanted.Statistically it�s counted as a shot off-target.

That's a new one on me. Anywhere in the 6 yard box maybe.

Personally, I�m a bit annoyed by the creeping in of various stats in the coverage of games - football�s not really statistically driven sport like cricket and baseball are for example. I mean all the stats about passes attempted and completed, does that really signify anything in football? You could theoraticallycomplete 100% of your passes if you play simple square balls, but it�s really the defence splitting passes that matter - you can try and fail to complete those 10 times in a game, but if you get them right once or twice, it can make all the difference.
All right, rant over.

Indeed it wouldn't - for an indirect Free Kick to the attacking team in the penalty area (when a goalkeeper has picked up the ball from a pass from his on player)
Indirect free kick to the attacking team:
� all opponents are at least 9.15 m (10 yds) from the ball until it is
in play, unless they are on their own goal line between the goalposts
� the ball is in play when it is kicked and moves
� an indirect free kick awarded inside the goal area is taken from
that part of the goal area line which runs parallel to the goal line,
at the point nearest to where the infringement occurred
No - a defending team, can take a FK for an offence that occured in the goal area(6yd box), from anywhere in the goal area
An attacking team indirect FK for an offence in the goal area(6 yd box) is taken from a point of the goal area line, parrallel to the goal line closest to where the offence occurred

Question 5a: Is it true that penalty takers are not allowed to stop their run, or hesitate once they have started moving forward to take the kick.
Answer 5a: If during the run-up, the penalty taker deliberately stops his run (no matter for how long) and then continues on to kick the ball, this should be seen as unsporting behaviour. The kicker is allowed to feint and conceal his intention from the goalkeeper but he must approach the ball in a single continuous movement. It is not allowed, for example, to fake a kick and then shoot in one direction after the keeper has jumped in another.
If the ball does not enter the goal, the referee stops play and restarts the match with an indirect free kick to the defending team.
It is legal, if during the run-up, the penalty taker deliberately shimmies whilst continuously running forwards to kick the ball. A goal should be allowed if the ball enters the goal. The greatest asset a penalty takers has, is the ability to trick the goalkeeper into diving the wrong way. The penalty kicker should not therefore be penalised for trying to achieve this, so long as this in not done in an unsporting manner.

What happens if the ball enters the goal but the player taking the penalty has hesitated, stopped what ever, does the kicker get a retake or what?Book, or warn, the kicker and order a retake:
The player taking the penalty kick infringes the Laws of the Game:
The Referee allows the kick to proceed.
If the ball enters the goal, the kick is retaken.
If the ball does not enter the goal, the referee stops play and restarts the match with an indirect free kick to the defending team, from the place where the infringement occurred.
Page 124 Law 13 Free Kicks
"Feinting to take a free kick to confuse opponents is permitted as part of football. However, if in the opinion of the referee the feinting is considered an act of unsporting behaviour, the player shall be cautioned."
Page 125 Law 14 Penalty Kicks
"Feinting to take a penalty kick to confuse opponents is permitted as part of football. However, if in the opinion of the referee the feinting is considered an act of unsporting behaviour, the player shall be cautioned."
As a referee I would allow a player to dance up to the ball like a ballerina (for arguments sake) but I would enforce that the kicking motion (i.e the actual taking of the kick/leg motion/kicking the ball) is one solid continuous motion. If they start to 'kick' the ball, stop halfway through the motion and then continue, then that would be defined as unsporting behaviour to me.
Hey,, Quackster!! Welcome back. Does this mean I can be relieved of my duties as the On Call Laws of the Game advisor?
