I think if it had gone straight in it would have been a corner, but as another player has not touched it can not be a goal. Fair play would say it is retaken, so an indirect free kick?
Question Two Are there any circumstances where a player receiving the ball directly from a pass going backwards (ie away from the direction of the opponents goal) from his own on-side teammate can be penalised for offside? If your answer is "yes", please state the circumstances.
This is not a trick question such as the ball has been deflected by the referee or any other "creative" reasons you can come up with!
Best of luck!
I would guess yes. If he was in an offside position and interfering with a player when the ball was first played forward, but not given as not interfering with play at that time, is then considered to be relevant when the ball is then played back to him.
Yes. To be offside you have to Be in the opponent's half In front of the ball Have less than two opponents between you and the goal Be interfering with play and seeking to gain an advantage.
Following a short corner, an attacking player on the goal line can fulfil all that stuff even if the ball is played backwards.
How can the ball be played backwards to someone on the goal line?
Question Three This time, an unlikely scenario (I have never seen it), but hey, this is a fun quiz.! The answer can be worked out with a knowledge of the Laws of the Game.
Match incident: Very windy day (gale force) on Hackney Marshes or Blackheath. The goalkeeper takes a goal kick into the teeth of the gale. The ball leaves the area (so thus in play). However the wind catches the ball which sails over the same goalkeepers head (ie goes backwards). The goalkeeper just gets his fingertips to the ball but can only divert it into his own goal. What does the referee award.
Best of luck!
Indirect free-kick to the opponents where the 'keeper touched it, because effectively the 'keeper's played it to himself. Would be the same if it was 'to herself', 'to itself', etc., given various sexes or lack thereof of the 'keeper.

How can the ball be played backwards to someone on the goal line?
I said 'following a short corner' All the defenders rush out, but the ball is say a couple of meters from the goal line, so if it is played back, perhaps slanted across the area, the guy on the line jumping up and down in front of the keeper fulfils the offside criteria.

I know you said short corner, but if the guy is on the goal line the ball can't be played backwards to him. If the ball is a couple of meters from the goal line, it has to be played forwards to the fella.

The ball is played backwards but some one comes back from an offside position (even off the pitch behind the goal line) and collects the pass. He was offside when the ball was played so he's offside!
Answer to Question Three The goalkeeper, by playing the ball (finger tip in this case), has committed an offence, having touched the ball a second from a goal kick without another player of either side playing the ball. The referee should award an indirect free kick to the opposition at the point the goal keeper touched it a second time, unless.....the second touch was nearer the goal line than 10 yards; in which case the free kick should be played from 10 yards from the goal line
Question Four - match Incident: Ricky Holmes is dribbling the ball down the left wing, hugging the line. The opposing full back is facing Ricky. As Ricky approaches the full back, he plays the ball past him, on the field side of play. Ricky however runs off of the field of play to avoid a collision, with the aim of returning to the field of player and collecting the ball after he has passed the opposing full back. However the full back leaves the field of play and deliberately obstructs Ricky. How does the referee deal with this incident and how does he restart the game.

If he was off the pitch, but still in an offside position when the ball was played, where does the referee award the free kick?

Ricky's deliberately left the field of play without permission so that should be a booking.
Similarly for the full-back. The full-back should also be booked for the contact off the field of play, so he gets two yellow cards and is sent off.
Game restarts with a drop ball unless it had already left the pitch before the ref stopped play.

It's a good job I'm not a ref or games would be abandoned with teams down to six men every week.

A foul has occurred off the pitch. Direct free kick to Ricky Holmes' side at where the ball was last when the offence occurred.

The referee stops the game. Cautions the defender for the deliberate obstruction. Restarts play with a dropped ball.

If this happened for real surely the game would be called off as condition 's would make play impossible
Yeovil away, a clearance from the edge of the box went behind for a corner because of the wind.
Was it Fox. Probably a misskick: )
No. It was their keeper, McCarthy. He hit it straight enough but the wind was so strong it just came back and a corner was given. (It was a clearance from a back pass, not a goal kick.)

The ball does not need to be played to the guy on the goal line, he can still be offside even if he wasn't the intended recipient.

Apologies for going back to Q3. But if the ball had blown in the net, without the goalie touching the ball, I presume it would be a goal, an own goal ?

I'm guessing a corner. Something to do with your advantage cannot result in a disadvantage for you (similarly, for any direct or indirect free kick, if you score an own goal directly from it, it would be a corner in most circumstances).
Answer to Question Three The goalkeeper, by playing the ball (finger tip in this case), has committed an offence, having touched the ball a second from a goal kick without another player of either side playing the ball. The referee should award an indirect free kick to the opposition at the point the goal keeper touched it a second time, unless.....the second touch was nearer the goal line than 10 yards; in which case the free kick should be played from 10 yards from the goal line
Just out of interest, why 10 yards? I'm sure it always used to be that indirect free kicks for offences inside the goal area had to be taken from the edge of the goal area (i.e. 6 yards). Defenders don't have to be 10 yards away if they are standing on their own goal line. Is this a recent change?

Apologies. You are 100% correct. I was trying to convey the point that in general terms, opponents have to be 10 yards from the ball when a free kick is taken; the exception being, that if the indirect free kick is within the goal area (ie the 6 yard box), the ball has to be moved back to that goal area line.
