Talk:Indirect free kick

message: From Valen1260:
"A goal may not be scored directly from a direct free kick, rather it must be tocuhed by a second player before a goal can be scored. A player may be penalised for an offside offence direct from a direct free kick."
I'm just learning football, but this looks to be talking about direct when it should be indirect.

thread_title: Direct or indirect?

message: The article states that when awarded an indirect freekick inside the opposing teams penalty area, the kick should be taken from a line paralel to the goal line... This is not true, the kick is taken from the spot in which the offense is commited, hence the need for the 10 yard rule exception when the players are standing on their own goal line. I will edit this information now.
:Wait a second.  If an IFK is awarded inside the opposing team's penalty area but outside its goal area, then you are correct.  However, if the infraction occurs inside the goal area, then I believe the IFK is indeed taken from the nearest spot on a line parallel to the goal line but outside the goal area.  In other words, correct me if I'm wrong but there is no way for the attacking team to have an IFK inside the defenders' goal area.  Therefore, this sentence in the article is incorrect: "An indirect free kick within the opposing team's goal area is taken from the spot where the offense was committed."  Can a rules expert please confirm? Dpiranha 14:58, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: When the kick spot is nearer to the goal than 9.15 m, a defense wall has to stay on it's own goal-line.    --213.225.0.173 (talk) 16:32, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Interlanguage links 

message: Latest change of laws of the game determine the kick spot different to the laws before. Now the kick spot is there where the player touches the ball (maybe it is the same place where he was catched in offside position); at the extreme, it could be in the own half of the field of play when he returns from the opponent half and touches the ball which was played by a team-mate (provided that there no other player touched the ball in the mean-time).   --213.225.0.173 (talk) 16:44, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Offsides 

message: In cases of offsides the Referee has no need to rise one arm. It is assumed that all players know that an offside is to punish with an indirect free kick. - In other cases when the Referee did forget to rise on arm, and the ball moves into the opponent goal without have been touched by another player, the kick is to be retaken. Those laws were given in the past time, but then, for a few years, the laws said, the match is to be restarted with a goal-kick (like always in those cases when an indirect free kick is kicked direct). Henceforth, laws determine the retake. --213.225.0.173 (talk) 16:55, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
