Sent you a private message yesterday with the answers;)

If you didn't get it, I will be posting the answers, with explanations on Friday):)

Answers
1. b
Nearly everyone got this right
Law 16 – the goal kick states that the ball is not in play until it is kick directly out of the penalty area, thus the ball is not in play, the game is restarted with a goal kick, the defender is not cautioned or dismissed as the trip was accidental.

2. b
This one caught you all, Law 13 Free kicks states "if a direct free kick is kicked directly into the team’s own goal, a corner kick is awarded to the opposing team" (it also states this for an indirect free kick) therefore it's a corner. Old Keeper says he might try it in a match, I’d love to be there to see the pandemonium that ensues afterward.

3. c
A bit of a mixed bag on this one, the reason is Law 14 the penalty kick (amended last season) provides that “A team-mate of the player taking the kick infringes the Laws of the Game:
• the referee allows the kick to proceed
• if the ball enters the goal, the kick is retaken
• if the ball does not enter the goal, the referee stops play and restarts the match with an indirect free kick to the defending team, from the place where the infringement occurred.”

Therefore c
