    If a player passes the ball intentionally to his goalkeeper with the foot or by a throw-in, it is prohibited the goalkeeper from touching the ball with the hands or from taking up, otherwise it is decided on indirect free kick.
    The goalie isn´t allowed to kick (out of his hands or for a goal-kick) or throw the ball over the midline. If he would do this, the opponent team will get a free kick at midline. The goalie isn´t only allow to kick the ball over the midline when the ball is “in the match”. For example when he gets a backpass or when he disturbs an opponent player.
