_________________
Law 6.—When a player plays the ball, or throws it in from touch,
any players of the same side who at such moment of playing or
throwing-in is nearer to his opponents' goal-line is out of play, and
may not touch the ball himself, nor in any way whatever interfere with
an opponent or with the play until the ball has been played,
unless there are at such moment of playing or throwing-in at least
three of his opponents nearer their own goal-line. A player is not out
of play in the case of a corner-kick, or when the ball is kicked off
rom goal, or when it has been last played by an opponent.
Law 10.—A goal may be scored from a free kick which is
awarded because of any infringement of Law
10,
9, but not from any other free kick. When a free kick
has been taken, the ball shall not be again played by the kicker
until it has been played by another player. The kick-off, corner-kick,
and goal-kick shall be free-kicks within the meaning of this Law.
Law 9 changed to Law 10, and Law 10 made Law 9.
Law 16.—In the event of any infringement of Laws 5, 6, 8,
10, or 15, a free kick shall be awarded to the opposite side,
from the place where the infringement occurred. In the event of any
intentional infringement of Law 9 outside the penalty area,
or by the attacking side within the penalty area, a free kick shall be
awarded to the opposite side from the place where the infringement
occurred. In the event of any intentional infringement of Law 9
by the defending side within the penalty area, the Referee shall award
the opponents a penalty kick, which shall be taken from the penalty
kick mark, under the following conditions ; all players, with the
exception of the player taking the penalty kick and the opponents'
goal-keeper, shall be outside the penalty area. The opponent's
goal-keeper shall be within the goal area. The ball must be kicked
forward. The ball shall be in play when the kick is taken, and a goal
may be scored from a penalty kick ; but the ball shall not be again
played by the kicker until it has been played by another player. If
necessary, time of play shall be extended to admit of the penalty kick
being taken. A free kick shall also be awarded to the opposite side if
the ball is not kicked forward, or is played a second time by the
player who takes the penalty kick until it has been played by another
player. The Referee may refrain from putting the provisions of
this Law into effect in cases where he is satisfied that by enforcing
them he would be giving an advantage to the offending side. (A
penalty kick can be awarded irrespective of the position of the ball
