"While the ball is in the possession of the goalkeeper, it cannot be played by an opponent. Any attempt to do so may be punished by a direct free kick.  "In the possession of the goalkeeper" is defined as the goalkeeper having the ball trapped between one hand and a surface (which may include the other hand, the ground, a goalpost, or the keeper's own body).  International Board Decision Two of Law 12 emphasizes that the hand includes any part of the hand or arm.  However, as stated in the Advice to Referees on the Laws of the Game (Advice 12.16 and 12.17), the goalkeeper is also considered to be in possession of the ball while bouncing it on the ground or while throwing it into the air.  Possession is given up if, while throwing the ball into the air, it is allowed to strike the ground."

There is a difference between when a player going to ground when there has been zero contact (eg. Arsenal's Robert Pires against Portsmouth last season)and when a player is nudged/tripped/leant-into/had his shirt pulled and he decides to make the most of it (eg. England's Michael Owen against Argentina in World Cup 98).\n\nThe former can be classed as 'diving' and the latter as 'over-reacting'.\n\nMost would argue that this is a problem in the modern game - simply because it's irritating to see. Diving will continue to be rife until the day FIFA give referees a zero-tolerance mandate to clamp down on this kind of thing. \n\nUntil players realise that they'll get a red card for diving, there will be no incentive for them to stop.

Yes it is a foul if you touch  aggressively the other player. Running after you dribble is called a traveling.  If you are in the 3 second box and they count you 3 second it is a foul.

the rule is now that the goalkeeper can take as many steps as they want with the ball in their hands but can only have the ball in their hands for 6 seconds(i.e. then kick,throw or drop it).but most referees seem not to enforce this rule.

Once the ball is in play, a goal is considered a goal regardless of which player kicks it. Several renowned goalkeepers have inadvertantly scored own goals - mostly while under pressure from the opposing strikers. but occasionally out of pure stupidity.

If "offside" is called in your age bracket, you can teach this simple version: You are not offside if you are doing any of the following:\n\n   1. Are in your own half of the field (your half is the half your goalkeeper is on). Or,\n\n   2. Are even with or behind the ball. Or,\n\n   3. Don't go past the "Second Last Defender" (The goalkeeper is usually, but not always, the last defender; this might be the case if the goalkeeper is out of goal). Or,\n\n   4. Receive the ball direct from a goal kick, corner kick or throw-in. (But you can be offside if you receive it direct on a "free kick"). Or,\n\n   5. Are the ballhandler (the ballhandler can be closer to the goal than the ball if he has his back to the goal).\n\nWhen my forwards "push up" without the ball, I tell them to stay 2 steps behind the Last Defender (not counting the goalkeeper) so they are less likely to be caught offside or to be accidentally called offside.

One of the main reasons is that FIFA have clamped down on handball incidents.  Therefore by keeping the hand away from the side of the body there is less chance of the player "accidently" moving his arm to touch the ball as it goes past.

Usually stick side....but i have played against some goalies that are weaker on their glove side, but i guess it just really depends on the goalie.

I would guess in penalty, that is what you meant if he is the one that is saving the shoot he cant but if his team is taking the shoot then he can ( Butt is a German Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper that shoots penalties for his team )

obstruction whether it is meant or not. player b awarded an indirect free kick. the time when this rule is most abused(ignored by refs)is when a player is "sheilding" a ball to run out of play.the defender hasn't touched it so its not in his control,and he blatently obstructs a forward from playing the ball with no intention of playing it himself.

The previous answers are correct.\n\nHowever, a player may also take measres to protect certain sensitive body parts prior to a free kick.\n\nIn youth games it is considered acceptable and is not a foul, if a player reflexively rasies his/her hands to defend himself/herself from a point-blank  shot to the face.  For the purpose of this, I tend to define "point blank" as from less than 5 yards out.

It is to get a better grip on the ball for spin control.  However they should have wiped off their fingers prior ot actually touching the ball otherwise it is an illegal pitch.  It is considered an illeagal substance.

offsides is when a player is closer to the goal line than the ball and has  fewer than 2 opposing players between him and the opposing goal line that includes the keeper when the ball is played to him\n \nthe exceptions\nthe player cannot be called offsides on \ncorner kicks\nthrow-ins\nor if he is in his own half of the field

No, if he uses his hands it's a penalty and a kick is awarded, more then likely a direct kick.  He can only use his hands if it touches an opposing player or is played back from his teammates head.

It depands on which way the ref's palms are facing.\n\nIf they are facing backward, it means "out of bounds."\nIf they are facing forward, it means "back row or illegal block."

This is news to me....  I would assume to get a bit more stick on the ball when they set.  But Ive played for 20 years and never seen a college/professional player do that.  We mostly just file our finger tips down so we can get a bit more feel.  Setters hands need more feeling rather then grip.
