Scenario 1,
The ball goes out of play from a shot, play restarts with a goal
clearance, the goal keeper has four seconds to play the ball. The keeper
can not touch the ball again any where on the field of play, until it
has touched an opponent or gone of out of play.
If the goal keeper does touch the ball, an indirect free kick is awarded
from where the offence occurred. If it occurred in the goal area, the
kick would be taken from the edge of the penalty area, in line to where
the offence occurred.
Awareness of the goal keeper is key when taking the goal clearance and
when the ball is up the field, sub-bin him self for a flying goal keeper.
The position has not been change, the player has so the flying keeper
still wouldn't be able to touch the ball until the ball had touched an
opponent or gone out of play.

Scenario 2,
The goal keeper receives the ball in his own half from his own player,
the player then takes the ball forward into the opponents half, then
plays the ball back to the keeper in the opponents half. The keeper is
not penalised as his has received the ball in open play in the opponents
half. (play continues) The ball is played between players and goal
keeper in the opponents half, the goal keeper then drops back into his
own half and receives the ball, The referee blows for the offence
committed and awards a indirect free kick from where the offence was
committed.

Scenario 3
The team scores and play restarts from a taking of center kick. The goal
keeper for some strange reason has gone up to center with his team
mate. TWO things could happen here, the goalkeeper restarts play and
plays the ball forward first, meaning the keeper couldn't receive it
back before it has touched an opponent. (same as scenario 1) |

Scenario 4
This time, the player restarts plays and plays the ball forward and the
goal keeper moves into the opponents half and receives the pass then
passes it back to team mate. The keeper then cannot receive the ball in
his own half until it has touched an opponent.
I hope this has sort of helped with understanding this (in my opinion)
not well worded law. There are some tricky parts to understand but once
you get used to it, The rest is easy. I have mentioned to Kevin and
recently John about using the index finger as a reminder for when the
goalkeeper can and cant have the ball.
When the goal keeper releases from a goal clearance, point the finger
towards the floor and don't retract until it has touched an opponent. its
a mental trigger and once you get use to it, you will never get it
wrong. |
More change to be aware of are:
Kick ins - Do not need to be on the line, up-to 25cm from the line. (use your foot as a guide)
Cannot score directly from a kick in.
Kick offs, Cannot score directly from a kick off.
Corner kicks, score directly.
If the corner kick isn't taken within the 4 seconds
then the restart is a goal clearance to the opposing team.
