That was one of the weird / trick questions we as parents / lads got asked at becoming a referee course - I thought I new my football got about 40% right. Some obscure rules out there

In a Sunday League game I had to explain to a ref ( qualified) you couldn't be offside from a goal kick

Not just a direct free kick,

but also a corner and a penalty lol

It make sense, the opposition can't gain an advantage from your set piece.

You're ****ing stupid.

Not that difficult to comprehend, free kick, edge of our own box, Dunk passes it back to Sanchez, who slips or and missed the ball. It's not a goal, but a corner.

Funnily enough I had to look that one up after Junior Orange's match a week ago. One of his teammates decided to throw the ball back to the keeper who promptly fumbled it into his net. If he'd picked it up it would have been a direct free kick (age rule - indirect for adult game), if he'd left it it'd have been a corner... but as he did neither the goal stood (though nobody was entirely sure at the time!).

Did the goalkeeper touch the ball with his hands at all?

Hi tried to! Whether it should have been a goal or not is moot as we ran out 5-1 winners and certainly wouldn't begrudge the opposition something as the match wasn't that one-sided!

Michael Parkinson described a game where the goalkeeper took a penalty, blasted it against the crossbar, watched the rebound go back over his head, chased back, and accidentally wellied it into his own net - all without anyone else touching the ball. the ref gave an own goal, but should he have?

(PS - Parkinson was known for being a little, shall we say romantic with the truth.)

No, should be a free kick from where he kicked it the second time

Indirect Free Kick, but yes, almost spot on.

You can't score a goal, or an own goal from a throw in.

Or an own goal from a goal kick. I learnt this while coaching my boys team and the goalie inadvertently mis kicked the goal kick across the goal, it hit a divot and went in. The ref had had to answer this question on his course, we all presumed it was an horrendous OG

I wondered if the ref could allow play on under the advantage rule?

I can see when this could happen. 1:0 up and 93rd minute. Free kick halfway line. You'd turn and pass back surely (Hughton rule 117).
