This will stop you whinging about being robbed of 3 points, when u took the quickie free kick and ran up the pitch and scored but it was disallowed by the ref, this is why


Free Kick Inside the Penalty Area
Direct or indirect free kick to the defending team: (Derby)
• all opponents are at least 9.15 m (10 yds) from the ball
• all opponents remain outside the penalty area until the ball is in play
• the ball is in play when it is kicked directly beyond the penalty area
• a free kick awarded in the goal area is taken from any point inside that area

The ball never left the area before it was touched by ur own player
