Questions from a tournament.

The answer lies in another question, grasshopper: Was the ball in play?

 

I think this is what you're asking, though your question is missing some key information:

1. If the ball is touched and moves, then the ball is in play. If it is then kicked into the goal by another player, we've got a good goal.

2. If on an indirect kick the ball is touched but does not move, and then another player kicks it into the goal, we've got a goal kick. Never will it be a re-take.

Now, I tend to be in the camp of "if the ball is touched, it moved", because the LOTG don't specify how much the ball has to move to be in play. But others are more strict on that.

 

I assume your question is what is the restart in the following scenario:

A team was awarded an indirect kick
One player ran past the ball and attempted to touch it but missed*
Another player kicked it directly into goal

*If* that is the scenario, the restart is a goal kick. The ball is in play as soon as it is kicked and moves, but a goal cannot be scored until it touches another player.

*or did touch the ball but the ball did not move

 

Again, assuming we are talking about two players trying to get an indirect kick play going. The restart can't be a retake, because if the first player didn't put the ball in play, the second one clearly did. The only question is whether a goal can be scored by the second player. Others have covered that well.

 

I thought you meant a team run across and touch the ball on an indirect kick by the OTHER team.

 

Kept trying? On different indirect free kick restarts close enough to the opponents' goal to warrant this tactic?

To me it's more interesting that there were so many IFKs given in one game than any particular method of trying to put the ball in play. Usually means someone doesn't know what they're doing.

 

I'm guessing that a "redo" was ordered by the referees and they kept trying to do the same thing . . .
