Arnie_Pie Not sure but interestingly, if a team takes a throw in and the ball goes into their own net without anybody touching it, a corner should be awarded to the other team and not an own goal.

woodley_royal_124 In my observations of the game, I have yet to work out how the referee decides which side a corner has to be taken from, when a goalkeeper manages to tip a football directly over the bar and out of play, midway between the goal posts ? Obviously if the ball goes either to the left or right hand side then its simple but when the ball appears to go over the bar and remain mid-way behind the goal, well, I would like to know !

Did Enkleman touch this then? Or should the ref have given a corner?

1960 My beef is with goal kicks. The rule on this changed years ago for some reason. You previously had to take the goal kick from the side it went out, but now you can take it from any side. Cue goalies who take them from the left all game, but when they are winning 1-0 with 5 minutes to go they suddenly fancy taking it from whichever side is furthest from where they are standing or where the ball is in non-multiball games. Referees can do nothing about this, but I see it as blatant time-wasting. Bring back the old rule I say.

Or make it consistant so you can do the same from corners.

sheshnu Makes very little difference which side the goal kick is taken from really. The side from which a corner is taken can make a huge difference...

Stranded Does it really though. Most sides have different takers depending on the side it is on and what they want to do with the corner (in/out swinger).

Sun Tzu There a massive difference between a corner and a goal kick !
Obviously a corner is an attacking move which frequently leads to a goal. A goal kick is not !
Allowing an attacking side to chose which side they take the kick from could give them a huge advantage, taking a goal kick from one side or the other gives no advantage. All goal kicks are effectively taken from the same place.
Why not extend it and say you should be allowed to take throw ons from either side of the pitch irrespective of where the ball left the pitch ?
