I too thought this was the same as an indirect free kick or a penalty hitting the post then the same player touching it next, effectively an indirect free kick? Guess not Link to post Share on other sites

latemodelchild 9,947 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Well I never knew that was possible. Always thought it was like an indirect free kick type situation where it had to be touched by another player. Doesn't the ref hold his arm up until its touched or something? The ball, not his arm, that would just be weird. Link to post Share on other sites
