Pretty good price to pay… that’s a certain goal if he doesn’t, a non GK gets a straight red there

Well if he would have hit it before the bounce or right after, which he had plenty time to do, no problem there. Also if the defender doesn’t play a shit awkward pass to his goalie is probably the best route to go in future.

Honestly indirect free kicks are a total waste most of the time because the players are just stacked in the goal making it almost impossible to scorer anyway.

They're only a waste because they're one of the last remnants of amateur anarchy. Since they pretty much never happen, nobody has a plan. Defenders just crowd it and attacks either cunt it at the goal or make a sidepass and the other player then cunts it. If they were to be used more commonly teams would actually put an effort in to make something off it.
Field hockeys penalty corners are a pretty good comparison to look at and as those are very common they have proper routines and everything and are pretty much the most dangerous attacking situation in the sport.

It's an indirect kick so the first kicker cannot score the goal. He has to side pass it to someone first which is why there are like 4 guys on the right... Try to add some ambiguity into who he will pass it to. But they basically always choose to touch it and give it straight to the guy right next to the kicker lol

I've seen plenty scored back in the day, pure power usually wins tho, not attempted placement like this one.

Might be wrong but it only has to hit someone on the way through to count doesn't it? May as well just smash it from the deadball and hope it deflects in off someone than knocking it to a teammate and him being charged at by basically the whole opposition.

I remember back in the days, I think I was 10 or 11 and had a game with another team in national cup (was still playing on mini field) and I scored 4 of them in one game by doing exactly what you were saying. Just smashed the ball with no tactic in mind, just hoping for deflection from anyone. Can't recall though why there were indirect free kicks (maybe all of them were by the rules of mini football back then) because all of them were from around 20 meters away and definately were indirect ones.

If they did the 3 yard pass to the guy on the back post then they would've had an easy goal

That's not an indirect free though it has to be a deliberate back pass.
If that was deliberate McGregors a clown

It doesn't have to be a deliberate back pass in the sense you mean. It has to be "deliberately kicked to them". He was obviously playing the ball with his foot (kicked and deliberate) and there was nobody else he was kicking to and he wasn't trying to clear it out/over. So it qualifies. It doesn't have to be a good pass to be a foul here

Thats not the sense I mean though. What he's done here isn't a deliberate pass to the goalkeeper.

But its still against the rules because he intended to kick it, if another player had volleyed it against him and it had gone back to the keeper then that would have been allowed

Eh the backpass rule originally is to prevent time wasting not to punish misplayed passes.

I'm pretty sure it's because the keeper touching the ball in this situation is not a sending off offence. Hope that helped.
