Football rules

[Goat lung]

Did you know if I took a free kick and scored an own goal without the ball touching anyone else the ref should award a corner to the opposition

Obscure occurrence in football , what is the outcome?

No rules in football, only laws.

You are the Ref! How well do you really know the laws?

I obviously have no life to do this.

Is that a direct or indirect free kick or doesn't it matter?

It doesn't matter

If that's whetted your appetite, try these...

I thought everyone knew that Own goals couldn't be scored from a direct set piece - ie throw ins, goal kicks, corners and free kicks

If you only needed to draw your last game to avoid relegation, are you allowed to all stand on the goal line for the entire game, with 3 players lying on the top to totally block the goal up?

I guess you could do that but ref might interpret it as ungentlemanly conduct and start booking people. Then second bookings are sending off. Lose enough and you forfeit the game. Alternative with similar outcome would be hand balls. Kick the ball at players arms and it will be handball as they are deliberately blocking the goal that would be a sending off. Then as above. I expect there are lots of ways to quickly lose the game by blocking the goal.

It's nice to know the constants in life!! The only reason I viewed this thread is because when I saw what it was about, I thought "I bet Billy was the first person to reply".

I hope for your sake that the people in WSU Row B next season, don't know much about the laws of the game. They'll soooo enjoy being able to hear your explanations on contentious reffing decisions!!
