starburst1980 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penalty_kick_(football) An own goal may not be scored by the kicking team, although this would be almost impossible since the ball has to be kicked in a forward direction to be a valid penalty kick. If the ball were to wind up in the kicking team's goal (for example, if the kick were to ricochet off the defending team's goalpost, travel the length of the pitch, and go into the opposite goal), a corner kick would be awarded to the defending team. An own goal can result off a penalty if the defending goalkeeper (or another member of the defending side) were to deflect a stopped or errant shot into the defending team's goal. Where in the FIFA's rules does it say this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subject Delta Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 That's a strange one, can't ever see it having to be enforced though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neztea Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 If its in the rules, Its probably happened in real life at one point in time. Neztea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiddlie Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I would love to see a video of this actually happening. That would need to be some kick to bounce off the post all the way to the other end of the pitch.... Don't FA fules apply to 5-a-side leagues also - maybe this is what it refers to?

Subject Delta Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 The 5-a-Side rules are very different from ordinary football. Personally i'd love to see something like this happen just for the pure amusement value. If anyone could kick a penalty hard enough to make it bounce the full length of a pitch off a goalpost they'd have to have huge kicking strength.

C++ Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Maybe they used to play football on really small fields. Or with both goal posts side by side. Or they just wrote these rules during a hurricane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom01 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I wouldn't worry about complicated rules like that. Especially when Fifa can't even sort out the offside rule. Swear down it changes every season. :s What about throw-ins? Can a goal be scored from a throw-in? It's only a matter of time before Rory Delap does it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=742KZspdgr0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 What about throw-ins? Can a goal be scored from a throw-in? It's only a matter of time before Rory Delap does it! Can only score if someone else touches it from the throw-in, if it goes directly in it's not a goal, not sure what's given though :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subject Delta Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Corner if the throw is from the defending side, Goal-Kick if it is from the attacking side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refs were just doing it wrong. It is not offside untill the player that is offside is involved in the play (eg, actually touches the ball) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
