       THROW IN
       A throw-in is awarded to the opponents of the player who last
       touched the ball when the
       whole of the ball passes over the touchline, on the ground or in
       the air.
       A goal cannot be scored directly from a throw-in:
       if the ball enters the opponents’ goal – a goal kick is awarded
       if the ball enters the thrower’s goal – a corner kick is awarded
       1. Procedure
       At the moment of delivering the ball, the thrower must:
       stand facing the field of play
       have part of each foot on the touchline or on the ground outside
       the touchline
       throw the ball with both hands from behind and over the head
       from the point where it left the field of play
       All opponents must stand at least 2 m (2 yds) from the point on
       the touchline where the throw-in is to be taken.
       The ball is in play when it enters the field of play.
       If the ball touches the ground before entering, the throw-in is
       retaken by the same team from the same position.
       If the throw-in is not taken correctly it is retaken by the
       opposing team.
       If a player, while correctly taking a throw-in, deliberately
       throws the ball at an opponent
       in order to play the ball again but not in a careless or a
       reckless manner or using excessive force,
       the referee allows play to continue.
       The thrower must not touch the ball again until it has touched
       another player.
       2. Offences and sanctions
       If, after the ball is in play, the thrower touches the ball
       again before it has touched another player an indirect free kick
       is awarded;
       if the thrower commits a handball offence:
       a direct free kick is awarded
       a penalty kick is awarded if the offence occurred inside the
       thrower’s penalty area unless the ball was handled
       by the defending team’s goalkeeper in which case an indirect
       free kick is awarded
       An opponent who unfairly distracts or impedes the thrower
       (including moving closer than 2 m (2 yds)to the place where the
       throw-in is to be taken)
       is cautioned for unsporting behaviour and if the throw-in has
       been taken an indirect free kick is awarded.
       For any other offence the throw-in is taken by a player of the
       opposing team.
