Corner kick taken by the goalkeeper?
351499
Despite the fact that I can not recall an example of a goalkeeper taking a corner, the possibility of them doing so means they require their own section under Law 17 - "The Corner Kick" as follows:\n\nCorner kick taken by the goalkeeper \n\nIf, after the ball is in play, the goalkeeper touches the ball a second time (except with his hands) before it has touched another player: \n\n* an indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team, the kick to be taken from the place where the infringement occurred\n\nIf, after the ball is in play, the goalkeeper deliberately handles the ball before it has touched another player: \n\n* a direct free kick is awarded to the opposing team if the infringement occurred outside the goalkeeper's penalty area, the kick to be taken from the place where the infringement occurred \n\n* an indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team if the infringement occurred inside the goalkeeper's penalty area, the kick to be taken from the place where the infringement occurred\n\n\nThis differs from outfield players only in the ruling about handling inside their own penalty area - if any other player did this the result would be a penalty to the opposing team.\n\nI can not say that this has never happened, but I can say that as a qualified referee I don't expect to have my knowledge of this law tested in a real life situation!

There are six people on one side, plus a goalkeeper. They are arranged three people near the goal and three people closer to the halfway point (when on offense). Of course the goal keeper tends to stay in the goal!\n\nThere can be more people on a team, just depending at which level you are playing. But only seven in at a time, and you can sub when you need to.

The goalie must leave the field\n\nIf the team has a substitution left, it can pull a player from the field and send in their backup goalie.\n\nIf they don't have any substitutions left, one of the players from the field will put on the goalie's jersey and play goalkeeper (very rare, but I've seen it happen)

It doesnot matter whether the player is on right side or the left...If he crosses before the opponent team then he is given offside..on side is when the player is taking corner....

6 seconds for a goalkeeper. For throw-ins it seems there is no time limit!!

Hei Joe,\n\nNo, the player cannot do that. Prior to a penalty, the penalty kicker must be made known to the referree. All other players (except the opposition goalkeeper of course) must remain OUTSIDE the penalty box.\n\nAnd secondly, the penalty kicker CANNOT touch the ball again after kicking the ball, UNTIL it has touched any other player on the field.\n\nYou can refer to more "Laws Of The Game" at FIFA's website.

If a keeper uses their hands on a back pass the other team gets a free kick. If the keeper uses their hands outside the 18 yard box there is a free kick.

Presumably either a) a defender played the ball back, or b) the ball wasn't totally out before the goalie touched it - in the view of the referee.\n\nOn the line in association football is not out of play, unlike for instance rugby union, where on the line is out.

The Great Rene Huigita. I believe they called a foul or offsides, but the player still shot the ball at goal. Excellent save regardless.

An indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team if a goalkeeper, inside his own penalty area, commits any of the following four offences:\n• takes more than six seconds while controlling the ball with his hands before releasing it from his possession;\n• touches the ball again with his hands after it has been released from his possession and has not touched any other player;\n• touches the ball with his hands after it has been deliberately kicked to him by a team-mate;\n• touches the ball with his hands after he has received it directly from a throw-in taken by a team-mate.\n\nHe is the only player on the field who can legally use his hands and then only inside the Penalty Box. Once he picks up the ball he has six seconds to punt it or release it. He is allowed to pick up the ball, run with it and then punt it, throw it, or drop it and dribble or kick it. (However, he cannot touch it with his hands outside the "Penalty Box" and once he drops it he can't touch it again with his hands until an opponent has touched it). The goalkeeper has special protections inside the Penalty Box; the ball may not be kicked if he is touching it with his hand or arm and the referee will call a foul if the goalkeeper is endangered. He must wear a shirt or jersey that is recognizably different from all other players (goalkeepers often wear special jerseys with padded elbows).

what you are probably referring to is the off side rule. That rule basically states that a player who receives a pass from his teamate has to be at least level with the second to last player on the opposing team. Counting the goalkeeper, this usually means that strikers have to be level with the opposing team's last defender not to be offside.

It officially isn't a foul. The rule is as follows:\n\nIn Fifa's Laws of the Game 2005, Law 12 says a free-kick or penalty will be awarded if a player "handles the ball deliberately (except for the goalkeeper within his own penalty area)".\n\nUnfortunately it isn't really the case as many fouls are still awarded when its ball to hand not hand to ball.

Ummmm...I'd rather see the PK's.  I'm a goalkeeper and I played from the time I was 4 all the way through college and I can honestly say, I'm not the hugest fan of PK's.  But it's an art form.  Being able to read the shooter and quick enough to react to the shot takes a lot of skill on the keeper's part and putting the ball someplace where it is impossible for the keeper to save it also takes a lot of skill.  I say keep the PK's.

A penalty kick is a type of free kick in association football (soccer), taken from twelve yards (eleven metres) out from goal and with only the goalkeeper of the defending team between the penalty taker and the goal.\n\nA penalty kick is performed during normal play. \n\nA penalty kick may be awarded when a defending player commits a foul punishable by a direct free kick (a so-called penal foul) against an opponent, within their own penalty area (commonly known as "the box", "18 yard box" or "16 metre box"). Note that it is the location of the offence — and not the position of the ball — that defines whether a foul is punishable by a penalty kick or direct free kick, provided the ball is in play.\n\nThe penalty kick is taken from the penalty mark, which is a midline spot 12 yards (11 metres) from the goal. The penalty kick taker must be clearly identified to the referee.\n\n \nAll players other than the defending goalkeeper and the penalty taker must be outside the penalty area, behind the penalty mark, and at least ten yards from the ball (outside the penalty arc) until the ball is kicked. The goalkeeper must remain between the goalposts on the goal-line facing the ball until the ball is kicked, but may move from side to side along the goal-line.\n\nAfter the referee signals for the kick to be taken, the kicker must kick the ball in a forward direction (not necessarily at the goal, however this is almost always the case). The ball is in play once it has been kicked and moved, and from this point other players may enter the penalty area and play continues as normal, however most often a goal has already been scored.
