\"GoalA goal is a goal as soon as the referee blows his or her whistle and points to the centre circle\u2026 or at least it was until the advent of VAR, anyway, but that\u2019s a different debate for another day.<\/p>\n

So much of football betting is based on goal scoring, and punters don\u2019t really care if a goal is a 30-yard worldie or a scuffed one-yard tap in… as far as our bets are concerned, often any kind of strike at all will suffice.<\/p>\n

But there are some unique rules and regulations regarding goals in football, and if we are to cheer our bets home we need to know which types of goal are allowed and which will be chalked off the score line.<\/p>\n

Can You Score a Goal from a Throw In?<\/h2>\n

\"ThrowAlthough rarely used these days, the long throw in used to an outstanding weapon for teams intent on launching crosses into the penalty area by any means necessary.<\/p>\n

In the 2008\/09 Premier League season, Rory Delap \u2013 once the poster boy for the long throw in \u2013 assisted five goals<\/a> with his launched missiles into the box, and all told his club Stoke City scored 24 goals that term from throw in situations.<\/p>\n

But could Delap have scored directly from one of his throw ins? The answer, according to the Laws of the Game<\/a> set out by the International Football Association Board, is no.<\/p>\n

Where the ball enters the goal from a throw in without being touched by any player on its way over the line, the \u2018goal\u2019 is disallowed and play restarts from a goal kick.<\/p>\n

But if the ball brushes a boot, head or any other part of a player\u2019s anatomy before hitting the back of the net, the goal will stand.<\/p>\n

Can You Score a Goal from a Corner?<\/h2>\n

\"CornerA goal can be scored directly from a corner without the intervention of any other player, and exactly that has happened on countless occasions during the history of the beautiful game.<\/p>\n

It generally takes an incredible curling strike of the ball to achieve the feat, or perhaps a strong gust of wind to arc the ball into the net.<\/p>\n

Mind you, some have proven to be masters of scoring direct from a corner<\/a> \u2013 former Celtic and Northern Ireland Legend Charlie Tully reportedly scored eleven of his career goals in this manner.<\/p>\n

Bizarrely, if a player hits a corner kick into their own net \u2013 a feat that would defy physics, you would think \u2013 the goal DOESN\u2019T stand, and the opposition are awarded a corner of their own instead.<\/p>\n

Can You Score a Goal from a Goal Kick?<\/h2>\n

As you may know, goalkeepers can score goals when they come up for corners and free kicks and find the net.<\/p>\n

They can also launch a long kick from their own penalty area, and if the ball somehow finds its way in the goal will stand.<\/p>\n
