A goal keeper may never use their hands outside of their own penalty area.
A goal keeper may not use their hands, even in their penalty area, when a team-mate deliberately plays the ball to them with their feet.
A goal keeper may not use their hands, even in their penalty area, when a team-mate directly throws the ball to them on a throw-in.
Yes, a goalkeeper is allowed to bounce the ball while in possession of it. This can be done to control the ball or to set up for a kick or throw. However, the goalkeeper must release the ball within six seconds of possessing it with his hands.
Yes it can be done, as it is not a back pass.
If a defender passes the ball back to his own goalkeeper using his feet then the keeper cannot pick it up, he can only use his feet to clear or pass the ball. however if the defender passes the ball back to his keeper using another part of his body (excluding arms and hands) then the goalkeeper can pick it up.
Any player is allowed to take a throw-in. Also the goalkeeper can throw the ball after legally picking it up during the course of play.
yes.
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 the goalkeeper is allowed to cross the half line. He/she can go up for corners. I have done that against weaker teams.
when he is inside the designated area wether it be a semi circle or a bigger box
In short, no. A goal kick is not complete (the ball in not yet in play) until the whole of the ball crosses the whole of the penalty area line and into the field of play. If the goalkeeper touches the ball before it completely leaves the penalty area, the goal kick must be retaken. If the goalkeeper touches the ball with his hands after the ball has left the penalty area and become "in-play", then he is guilty of a handling infraction because the ball is not within the keeper's own penalty area anymore. Either the ball is still in the penalty area or it isn't; it can't be both. This is all without even considering the fact that a goalkeeper cannot handle a ball that has been intentionally kicked to him by a teammate, the so-called "pass-back" rule.
Yes. A goalkeeper can dribble the ball back into the penalty area and pick it up. However, this is not the case if the ball was passed to him by a teammate (back pass), or if he has (for example) thrown the ball outside of the penalty area only to dribble it back in (double touch), or in any other case specifically disallowed by the laws.
Yes. If the ball is kicked to them or thrown-in to them directly from a team-mate. If the goal keeper releases the ball from their hands they cannot pick it back up again until another player touches it.
Yes he can and good communication between players is one of the key ingredients for a good team.
