It should reset though
Well technically almost everybody watching this already knew this rule, if you asked if you could dribble from a free kick they would say no, it’s just no one has ever considered it hitting the post and coming back to the same player
The same used to be true for penalties too. Still part of 7-a-side rules if I'm not mistaken, although few if none ever have to retake penalties because of it
I think the crossbar/ posts should count as a ‘player’ as far as this rule is concerned. Because the fact that the same player touched the ball in this context is obviously not intentional, it’s just that it happened to bounce back towards him

I think most people who follow the sport know this is the rule, but were confused about its application in that context
This is a pretty well known rule, I'd say. This applies to throw-ins and penalties as well.
I had a teamate that was 1v1 with the keeper, hit the crossbar, then put the rebound in the back of the net but was called offsides on the rebound
When i was 16 this happened to me, I tried to score from a corner kick and the ball hit the far post and came directly back to me, and i just let it go off cause it would be 2 touch. I got flamed a lot kk
Just saw the vid a while ago on twitter and for the first tym coming to the tifo vid felt like I know better..😂

Same goes for penalties as well. This actually happens sometimes. I've seen it this year in a friendly match of the German national team: The striker hit the post, the ball bounced straight back to him and he kicked it in. Of course, the referee knew, that this wasn't allowed and the goal didn't count.

Player A took the free kick, the shot hit the crossbar, Player A recovered, tried shooting it again but was blocked/deflected to a teammate who passed it to a second teammate who put it in for the apparent goal. Tifo's scenario was not how they described the play. And apparently, no one knew why the goal was dismissed. The television commentator thought the play was called offsides (the ref held his arm up as if the play was called offsides but actually it was the rule infraction). And of course, there was no announcement made for reason the goal was disallowed.

@BananaMan-yx9fv I know, yes. Charlesray was the only reason I understood the video. I'm not proud to say that the way it was explained in it was quite confusing for me
This is not an obscure rule or anything. Its just a rather rare situation where the freekick taker goes long, but is still the first one to get to the ball. Its the same rule that disallows the freekick taker to take two touches.
This happened to Danny Welbeck when he took a pen for Brighton a few years ago too.
I felt bad for them 😢
This rule is generally very well known. This is, for example, the reason why you see these tiny taps for corners and free kicks if the team decides they want someone to dribble the ball out instead of directly shooting it (as they aren't allowed to start dribbling it by themselves. This seems more like a temporary lapse of judgement as the rebound was coming towards him.
Everyone knows that rule, it's why they don't pass to themselves on free kicks or just start dribbling. It's just strange to happen from a free kick.

Damn
I saw a comment on a different video by someone who played in really strong wind conditions that caused him to run afoul of this rule. He kicked a free kick from somewhat far from the goal and on its ascent, the wind gusted and blew the ball right back to him. He kicked it again and the ref blew his whistle and explained what happened and they had a good laugh.
would be cool to be able to see the clip
Remember it happening in a game decades ago (think 80s) and talked about it on match of day as nobody knew the rule then either bar the ref
Here's a simple recipe for delicious homemade brownies bc i’m bored: Ingredients: - 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter - 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar - 4 large eggs - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 3/4 cup (90g) unsweetened cocoa powder - 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder - 1/4 teaspoon salt - 1 cup (175g) chocolate chips (optional) Instructions: 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper. 2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar until well combined. Let the mixture cool slightly. 3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, into the butter and sugar mixture. Stir in the vanilla extract. 4. In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. 5. If using, fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter. 6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. 7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, but not wet batter. 8. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving. Enjoy your homemade brownies! Let me know if you have any questions in ze replies
Think there is a little info missing at the start. But a good reel. I wonder if this would be the same on a corner. The taker hits the post and rebounds back to them for a second cross resulting in a goal from a teammate, or the crosser loops the ball into the goal?
That’s fair enough, isn’t this the rule that essentially stops you from dribbling the ball from the free kick? This also stops you from rolling the ball a little closer like players occasionally do when another team mate is ready to kick it. When seeing the rule in action outside of those examples it’s weird to see, especially as the rule probably wasn’t made for situations like these, but rules are rules.
I’ve seen this in a game! A player took a corner and it bounced off the post and was followed up by the corner taker who scored! The linesman flagged and the other team went mad when the ref disallowed the goal until it was explained what had happened
In one og my matches the same thing happend. A freekick hit the post out to their player, who made a cross and then they scored. I was 12 when that happend, so good ref work in a kids match at that age.
I had a goal disallowed once on the same basis during a secondary school match
I didn't know that, wow 😲.
I need to be sober for this lol
I knew this rule. I never understood why it was a controversy. Please do a video on the history of the handball rule and it’s changes every season for the man yanited fans who still cry after that loss to Middlesbrough
I knew about this off penalties and that you can't do the donkey kick thing so it makes sense that it's the same if the ball comes off the crossbar off a freekick.
Everybody taking a DIRECT freekick knows that rule. These are standard rules you get taught at a young age.😊
It makes sense because in penalties you could strategically hit the bar just to rebound the ball and tap in so the goalkeeper doesn't have a chance
Everyone knows the rule, you don't start a dribble from a free kick, but thinking of it at this instance is quite something.
I thouhgt that the goal frame counted as a player in this case,but i read that i was wrong 😮😮
Thanks. Very informative. Please can someone explain those penalty kicks in which the taker simply passes the ball to a teammate. How is that allowed?
Absolutely everyone in Peru knows this rule. I will never forget Daniel Peredo yelling "La tocó! La tocó! La tocó!" ("He touched it") a hundred times for the goal that got us the playoffs for Russia 2018.

Before this match i tough this rule only apply for penalty kicks. Now i guess it also apply for every dead ball
I knew this was a rule for pens, never seen it happen on a free kick 🤯
I think it's something everyone knows but is rarely an issue so it was forgotten
A double touch from a set piece is always a foul set piece, turns out the post rebound and touch counted as a double touch 😂
I knew about the rule, but this must be a situation where the ball goes out of play when this foul is called, so no advantage is given to the opposing team if they get the rebound. That's the but I didn't know, cool.
Does the same apply for panelty in playing time
If you say someone scores from the rebound, it kind of implies he scores directly from the rebound. not after a bunch of other touches. Most people know you can't take a free kick or penalty in 2 times btw.
i know this bc it happened to me on fifa as a kid and it's stuck with me
The rule is written absolutely perfectly in the Laws of the Game. It isn't open to interpretation and there are no loopholes. It was introduced 23 years before 11 players per team and 90 minute matches we made standard, before then they were either specified for the competition, an agreement between the 2 sides, or just convention. Nobody knows why 11-a-side became standard as the codes that became association football used anywhere up to 17 players per team. The most likely reason is cricket, but the actual reason is unknown.
How is this a rule few people know about? Indirect free kicks have been around since 1874. Keeper handles a back pass, its an indirect freekick. Dangerous play where there is no contact. Playing the ball from the keepers' hands. Obstructing a player without the ball and blocking the keeper from releasing the ball when in hand.
It's the situation that this occurred is what makes it unusual
What purpose do non-direct free kicks serve? What do they service?
I would’ve been so bummed out
Maccabi Haifa on Tifo 💚🇮🇱 Although Maccabi had 2 pts before the 6th game and Panathinaikos had 4, but after the game Maccabi had 5 and everything went well 😊
So did Assignon score from the rebound or did Le Fee touch it first? If you didn't know that you can't take 2 touches from a free kick, I'd suggest actually watching and/or playing the game.
I dont understand either the rule or the example cuz in the match someone else scored on the rebound not the mid fielder that took the free kick so why was it disallowed
I knew that the rule existed in penalties but I never knew they also existed in free kicks
not just only the rule is well known to any one who regularly watches football, but you got the facts wrong too
How was Haifa fourth with 2 more points that third?
The rule is stupid and genius at the same time actually
Just watched the replay, and wow.....Le Fang throws his arms up behind his head knowing he had just violated a rule, but they kept playing.
That isn’t an unknown rule. Super common rule. Anybody who has played indoor knows it well too because that situation can happen quite regularly with playable walls.
Funny how none of us know everything about the game, but would die for it.
Makes sense for penalties but idk about free kicks, maybe it was made so players wouldn’t tap the ball slightly then kick it during free kicks
But it was not le fee who scored in rebound .. right .
Doesn't this also apply for the forrest keeper that caught his own kick against man united?
How did Reguilion score against when DIer takes a free kick
It's a very very well known rule, just applied in an unusual way which caught some off guard. It would be clear and obviously disallowed if you cut out the middle man of the post and just say "he passed to himself" then everyone will see straight away it cannot stand
Basketball should implement this rule on foul shots. Would be interesting to see how players adjust when they need to miss.
If Enzo took the freekick and Lorenz scored of the rebound, how is it the same player touching the ball twice in a row from a freekick?
I thought that law was common knowledge. The offending team don't even have the fallback of a retake - it's a free kick against them (indirect, I think).
Direct Indirect free kick is a pandora box
But the thing is, if you play professional football you must have known that?
Same rule as a penalty just a lot less likely to occur then with a penalty that hits the woodwork
Hang on so then is it an indirect free-kick to the defending side in that case or what happens next?
Everybody knows that rule after the Coventry city player did a kick up before shooting
Wait one guy took the free kick and another one used the rebound so where was the free kick taker on the ball directly after the free kick 🤨
Hmmmm. Seriously I didn't know about this rule
Surely most people know that you can't touch the ball twice from a dead ball situation? It's just that people might have missed the fact that the free kick taker had touched it again after taking it.
The rule is correct but your example is dogshit because it doesn't say anywhere that Le Fee touched the ball again.
daft rule, same applies if you hit the woodwork from a penalty you can't score the rebound. ... also, isn't it pronounced Le Fay, not Le Fee
And for some reason we still do not enforce the six-second rule for keepers. Don’t get me wrong, this was the correct decision but there needs to be consistency.
It must be a new rule because Ronaldinho had a similar free kick n it counted
I mean it’s called an “INDIRECT” freekick for a reason… it’s pretty much the only rule associated with it😂
But it wasn't the taker who scored the goal, so it shouldn't have been disallowed, unless i'm missing something
