Yes he can dribble the ball into his own penalty box and pick it up, if he has not already picked it up, or if his team mate did not back pass it to him (though a back pass via a head or a chest can be picked up) == == Below is straight out of the FIFA 07-08 Laws. Interpret as you may. - Unspoken Offences by goalkeepersGoalkeepers are not permitted to keep possession of the ball in their hands for more than six seconds. The goalkeeper is considered to be in possession of the ball: • while the ball is between his hands or between his hand and any surface (e.g., ground, own body) • while holding the ball in his outstretched open hand. • while in the act of bouncing it on the ground or tossing it into the air When a goalkeeper has gained possession of the ball with his hands, he cannot be challenged by an opponent. A goalkeeper is not permitted to touch the ball with his hand inside his own penalty area in the following circumstances: • If he handles the ball again after it has been released from his possession and has not touched any other player. - The goalkeeper is considered to be in control of the ball by touching it with any part of his hands or arms except if the ball rebounds accidentally from the goalkeeper, for example after he has made a save - Possession of the ball includes the goalkeeper deliberately parrying the ball, • If he touches the ball with his hands after it has been deliberately kicked to him by a team-mate. • If he touches the ball with his hands after he has received it directly from a thrown-in taken by a team-mate.

Yes, but it depends on how it was passed to them.

There are restrictions when a team mate kicks it it to their own goal keeper.

There are restrictions when a team mate throws a ball in directly to their own goal keeper.

I believe you mean the penalty area. The goal area is the smaller rectangle.

If the ball was passed to the goalkeeper by a teammate with their foot then this is an indirect free kick offense. In all other cases this is allowable.

No. A goal keeper is allowed to dribble the ball, and this is not considered the same as "putting it down."

This would depend on how the goal keeper received it in the first place. If it was kicked or thrown-in to them directly from a team-mate then they cannot pick it up. Otherwise, it is allowed.

The goal keeper is just like any other player, they may leave their penalty area and may score a goal.
