Direct or indirect?
From Valen1260:
"A goal may not be scored directly from a direct free kick, rather it must be tocuhed by a second player before a goal can be scored. A player may be penalised for an offside offence direct from a direct free kick."
I'm just learning football, but this looks to be talking about direct when it should be indirect.

Law change from new Q+A
Hello. I changed an information about this article at 9th July. But user Daveb deleted it. My English is not perfect, but information displayed was correct, because it was taken of NEW questions and anwers, 2005/2006:
Law 13: free kicks
6. An indirect free kick is awarded to the attacking team outside the opponents’ penalty area. The referee fails to raise his arm to indicate that the kick is indirect and the ball is kicked directly into the goal. What action does the referee take?
He has the free kick retaken because of the referee´s mistake. The initial indirect free kick, is not nullified by the referee’s mistake.
7. A player takes a quick free kick and the ball goes into goal. The referee has not had the opportunity to indicate that the free kick was indirect. What action should the referee take?
Order the kick to be retaken as the original offence only merited an indirect free kick but the referee did not have the opportunity to give the recognised signal.
I'm not going to re-change the information, because I don't speak English enough for edit an article, but I ask you for changing again the article. Thanks.

- Hello,
- I deleted the information as it was previously incorrect, as it was previously instructed that it was the nature of the foul and not the signal that determined the nature of the kick. However thank you for pointing out that there is a new Q+A to the Laws; I will look at it later and updated the page as appropriate.

Indirect Freekicks inside the oposing teams penalty area?
The article states that when awarded an indirect freekick inside the opposing teams penalty area, the kick should be taken from a line paralel to the goal line... This is not true, the kick is taken from the spot in which the offense is commited, hence the need for the 10 yard rule exception when the players are standing on their own goal line. I will edit this information now.
- Wait a second. If an IFK is awarded inside the opposing team's penalty area but outside its goal area, then you are correct. However, if the infraction occurs inside the goal area, then I believe the IFK is indeed taken from the nearest spot on a line parallel to the goal line but outside the goal area. In other words, correct me if I'm wrong but there is no way for the attacking team to have an IFK inside the defenders' goal area. Therefore, this sentence in the article is incorrect: "An indirect free kick within the opposing team's goal area is taken from the spot where the offense was committed." Can a rules expert please confirm? Dpiranha 14:58, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
- When the kick spot is nearer to the goal than 9.15 m, a defense wall has to stay on it's own goal-line. --213.225.0.173 (talk) 16:32, 24 November 2016 (UTC).
This description is not particularly clear
Are there too many negatives in the explanation? I wanted to know when an indirect free kick should be awarded and when a direct free kick should be awarded? Having read the explanation twice, I still don't know..
Is it NOT (penalty OR technical), or (NOT penalty) OR technical ??
Merger

Why are there interlanguage links included in this article? Isn't Wikidata supposed to be taking care of these? --Nauajos (talk) 07:21, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
Offsides
Latest change of laws of the game determine the kick spot different to the laws before. Now the kick spot is there where the player touches the ball (maybe it is the same place where he was catched in offside position); at the extreme, it could be in the own half of the field of play when he returns from the opponent half and touches the ball which was played by a team-mate (provided that there no other player touched the ball in the mean-time). --213.225.0.173 (talk) 16:44, 24 November 2016 (UTC).
Rising one arm
In cases of offsides the Referee has no need to rise one arm. It is assumed that all players know that an offside is to punish with an indirect free kick. - In other cases when the Referee did forget to rise on arm, and the ball moves into the opponent goal without have been touched by another player, the kick is to be retaken. Those laws were given in the past time, but then, for a few years, the laws said, the match is to be restarted with a goal-kick (like always in those cases when an indirect free kick is kicked direct). Henceforth, laws determine the retake. --213.225.0.173 (talk) 16:55, 24 November 2016 (UTC).
