If a goalkeeper drops the ball can he pick it up again?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

If the throw-in was performed by an opponent, yes.

If the throw-in was performed by a team-mate, no. The restart would be an indirect free kick for the opponents at the point where the goal keeper touched the ball.

This would be a free kick within the the penalty area and not a penalty kick. If the offense occurred within the goal area, then the free kick would be moved to the top of the goal area closest to the point where the offense occurred.

Answer 3

Yes. The rule that prohibits passes to the goal keeper only specifies "kicked with the feet."

Answer 4

yes he can. as a goalkeeper you dont give up on goal never ever!

Answer 5

Yes. but it 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 would not be able to.

Answer 6

No, a keeper may not pick the ball up on a pass back. If they do so, an indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team.

Answer 7

No. This is an Indirect Free Kick offense. (By the way, direction doesn't matter... it doesn' t have to go backward.)

Answer 8

Only inside the box.

Answer 9

Yes
