Trivia question

Yeah someone has to touch it before you can shoot, deano's original idea sounds more plausible

Thunderbolt from the restart.

Another team player would have to touch the ball at the kick off, before the shot can be taken. No?

Time wasting is an indirect free kick according to the laws.

Suppose the opposition player, before he takes the kick off wanders over to an opposing forward and kicks him in the nuts. That's a direct free kick for serious foul play!

It's not covered in the laws of the game but may be in a more detailed guidance to referees.

Ok...the ball was put out for an injury and was kicked back to the opposition team, the player tries to header it to his own keeper, but puts it beyond him in the net. This is in extra time btw. However, the other courtious team let him take the ball from the restart and score to make it fair. The whistle goes for full time. He scores the first of the penalty shoot-out.

The player scores a goal, then, before the game can restart, as a consequence of the goal, the opposition team starts a brawl, or spit at the goalscorer just before they kick-off. The referee plays a dropped ball or gives a free kick, considering the opposition no longer deserve to kick off, and the goalscorer scores direct from the dropped ball or free kick. Of course, the opposition are not pleased even a little bit, they start a brawl, they spit at the goalscorer before kicking off, the referee plays a dropped ball, the goalscorer scores directly from it.

Could you score an own-goal for the first goal. If you can't shoot directly from a kick-off, how about kicking the ball forward, and having an opponent player commit a foul without touching the ball. The player then scores directly from the freekick for his second goal. This occurs just before half-time and the referee blows the whistle after the goal, preventing the opponents restarting. The player then does the same thing when restarting the second half. Not very plausible but you never know!

OK. Here's the 'official' version. (I just know this is going to cause an argument).

Critical to this is that you can't score directly from a kick-off without another player touching the ball.

Firstly, the player scores an own goal. Frustrated, he grabs the ball from his own net, places back in the centre circle for a kick-off. He kicks off and, instead of passing to a teammate, takes the ball upfield into the opposition penalty area. At this point a goal would not be legal. However, an opposition player hacks him down in the penalty area (without touching the ball).

The ref gives a penalty, which the player takes and scores. The ref then blows for half-time.

At the start of the second half, the same player kicks off and does the same thing - runs downfield and gets fouled in the box, another penalty.

Are you saying he boots the ball down field, only kicking in once, runs into the penalty area, and is fouled, before the ball has received the 2nd touch by anyone?

Your mad you are.

It's a load of $h!t. By taking an illegal kick off the ref would blow the whistle, and tell you to retake it

you could say that he shoots from the kickoff and the ball bounces back off the cross-bar just as he arrives in the box and is fouled for a penalty (twice)

That was rubbish Roger.

Who might you be Dick Turpin? Has Tweedle made homosexual advances towards you yet?

The solution where
1) he scores
2) he or another member of his team is fouled in the centre as the kick off is about to be taken and scores from the free kick (which has been marched forward a few times because of protesting opposition players not retreating 10 yards making the shot feasible)
3) whistle blows immediately after goal is scored and he scores the first goal of the penalty shoot off
is more realistic.

I never see this happening in football – is it in the rules? It certainly should be adopted from rugby...

It took you a day and a half to come up with that?!

Use of the term in a relative sense. This explanation requires one very unlikely step, the official version requires two even more unlikely steps.
