    Admittedly I dont watch womens football that much. Was that a freekick inside the box? Also, is that specific to the womens game?

    I have never seen that before

      Indirect free kicks can be awarded inside the 18 yard box. Usually to do with the keeper handling the ball when they shouldn’t e.g from a back pass

        Ahh yep! Cheers for that :)

        I just saw them taking a freekick and was confused. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen it before

      Passback rule apparently, from googling. It’s that thing where GKs can’t pick up the ball after a pass directly back from a teammate. Brainfart from the GK basically XD

        (An indirect free kick means it’s a free kick but you’re not allowed to score from it, kinda like a throw in)
