What if the ball hits the referee from a drop ball and then goes in the goal ?

The referee is considered to be a part of the field. It would be the same as if the ball deflects off the goal post and goes in. If the kick is direct then the restart would be either a goal kick or a corner..... Of course if the drop ball is on the six yard line and hits the referee before any player and goes into the goal, I guess the restart would be another drop ball.

Ballboy, It makes no difference where the ball is kicked from, Half way line, 6 yard line or the opposition half. If it goes directly to one's own goal, its a corner kick and if it goes directly into the opposition goal it a goal kick.
And as you said it also makes no difference if the ball hits the referee before entering the goal (it is still considered "directly").

Just reading your post again. If meant the ball enters the goal directly from the drop then of course it is a dropped ball again (just as if it goes out from the side line). The entire new low is: Attachments:

What happens if the attacker kicks the ball into the oppositions goal, BUT as he follows through with his kick he makes contact with the opponents nuts and the player drops to the ground screaming in agony ? This could happen. Free kick, send off, retake or goal. Technically he has kicked 3 balls at once.

Well picked up the ball.
shinpad, it could happen. I would send the player off for SFP and restart with a direct free kick to the 'player in agony'. To kick a player in such a manner an opponent would have to use excessive force to raise his foot to such a height in a 'drop ball' situation. A close situation like a drop ball requires players to take precautions not to play in a manner that is likely to injure an opponent. So If I adjudged the kick to be with more force than normal I would issue a red card and send the player off.

from FFA per FNSW,
Reason There have been a number of occasions where goals have been scored from "uncontested" dropped balls. This has put a great deal of pressure on the referee as he has to allow the goal to stand. We then have the unseemly situation where the opposition allows the team to score from the kick-off without any players trying to stop them in order to rebalance the game..

Slightly intriguing. A team showing sportsmanship by allowing the goal to be scored uncontested is classified as "unseemly"? I would have thought that showing good sportsmanship like this would be applauded not classified as unseemly???

hrhfiik, While it is true what you say about sportsmanship there is also the competitiveness side of the sport which makes it what it is. Almost any code of conduct i see for players has a point in it that says "Always play to win" (obviously not at all cost). Allowing the opposition to score, although justified, is not exactly playing to win and it somewhat takes the competitiveness of the game out of it (even if for a short while). If it can be avoided by a simple modification to the laws, then why not?

I had a drop ball situation yesterday when a ball from a team warming up behind the goal kicked the ball into the Penalty Area. The goal keeper had the ball, I stopped the game and had the offending ball removed.
The attacking team's bench seemed to know the correct restart, but were a little stroppy when I dropped it so that the goal keeper could pick it up.
