Where the offense occurred.
Indirect free kick.
The restart after an offside infraction is an indirect free kick. A goal may not be scored directly from an indirect free kick.
An indirect free kick that enters the kicker's own goal will result in a corner kick given to the other team. However, if the indirect free kick was taken from a spot within the kicker's own penalty area and did not exit the penalty area into the field of play, then the ball was never properly put in play and the kick is retaken.
Although this technically could be called deliberate handling, resulting in a direct free kick at the point of the infraction, in reality a referee will consider this trifling and will let it go with a verbal warning to the goalkeeper. The more the behavior persists, the more likely a handling call will occur.
clearance
A free kick takes place from the spot where the foul occurred. If the foul happened outside the penalty area, the free kick is taken from that spot. If the foul occurred inside the penalty area, the free kick is taken from the nearest point on the penalty area line.
Having the goalkeeper keep possession with his hands for more than 6 seconds is an Indirect Free Kick offense. Having the goalkeeper take possession with his hands directly from a deliberate pass from the feet of a team-mate is an Indirect Free Kick offense. The two offenses have nothing in common, other than that they share the same consequence.
Only if the keeper intends to place it in another location and take the goal kick. If the referee determines this to be tactic in delaying the restart of play, then the kicker is risking a caution.
Following possession of a kickoffWhen a team has forced the other team to punt away, and calls a fair catch, they are entitled to take a free kick (fair catch kick in the NFL). This is basically a kick off the ground from where you caught the fair catch. This is different from any other kick because there is no snap and the defense does not rush the kicker.This is only of use if there is little or no time remaining and the ball is caught within field goal distance, which would be the intent of the kick. The kick is taken from the yard line of the catch, not from behind a line of scrimmage.Following a safetyA team that gives up a safety delivers a free kick from its own 20-yard line, either from a punt, a placekick without a tee, or a dropkick. A safety scores 2 points and possession from the free kick.
He's trying to balance himself and it gives him courage to have the target.......
Unlike deliberate handling, which is a direct free kick offense, passing with the feet to his own goal keeper and having the keeper pick it up inside the penalty area would result in an indirect free kick.
You have to take the free kick. That's an old rule that dates back to the days when you could take a mark in soccer and rugby. Rugby kept it (from within the defensive 22, anyway) and retained the rule that the mark must be followed by a free kick.
