McCormick Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 don't quite get that... so the goal wouldn't count? It's not a goal at either end hence the 'indirect' part. Pretty ambiguous though, so if you get an indirect freekick, lob it into the box and an opposing defender hits in his own net- that's still scoring an own goal from an indirect freekick.

From what I understand the whole "can't score from an indirect freekick" thing is from the free kick itself, once the ball has been kicked it's in play and goals can be scored at either end. So you couldn't score a Nobby style free kick if it was indirect but you could cross it in for a team mate to stick in the net. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Liam Liam O Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Nout to do with penalties, but did anyone else know that if you score an own goal from an indirect free kick it counts as a corner? always wondered why they don't just do away with indirect free-kicks. If someone does something to warrant a free-kick, why not let the other side have a direct shot on goal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone does something to warrant a free-kick, why not let the other side have a direct shot on goal? Because indirect free kick offences are generally considred so minor that if they happened in the area would not warrant a penalty. Would you want a penalty awarded for a goalie taking more than six seconds? And you can't score any free kick in your own net, indirect or direct.

The answer to the question about the 6 seconds rule is that a yellow card could be shown next time the ball goes out of play. Mind you the rule is never used now anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Someone really needs to blast a free-kick into their own net when they're 2-0 up going into injury time or something, it'd be a priceless moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
