LAWS OF THE
GAME

Each year the Laws of the Game
are updated by the International
Football Association Board
(IFAB). A few changes were made
this time around including:

   LAW 5 - temporary dismissals
   (sin-bins) may be used where
   specified in competition rules

   LAW 8 - kicker may stand in
   opponents’ half at kick-off

   LAW 11 - player in offside
   position can be penalised for
   gaining an advantage when
   ball rebounds or deflects off a
   match official

   LAW 12 - player stopping a
   promising attack in penalty
   area is not cautioned if
   offence was an attempt to
   play the ball

    1.2.

                               ANSWERS

    1. A goal cannot be scored directly from a throw-in. If the ball
    enters the opponents’ goal, a goal kick is awarded. If the ball
          enters the thrower’s goal, a corner kick is awarded.

       2. The “flip throw” is legal, provided Law 15 is followed: (i)
        face field of play (ii) part of each foot on touchline or on
       ground outside touchline (iii) throw ball with both hands
     from behind and over head from the point where it left field
                                     of play.

      3. If a player, while correctly taking a throw-in, intentionally
    throws the ball at an opponent in order to play the ball again
       but neither in a careless nor a reckless manner nor using
           excessive force, the referee allows play to continue.
