A Place-kick is a kick at the ball while it is on the ground, in any position in which the kicker may choose to place it.

A Free Kick is a kick at the ball in any direction the player pleases, when it is lying on the ground, none of the kicker's opponents being allowed within six yards of the ball, unless they be standing on their own goal-line. The ball must at least be rolled over before it shall be considered played.

HACKING is kicking an adversary intentionally.

TRIPPING is throwing or attempting to throw an adversary by the use of the legs, or by stooping in front of or behind him. Unless in the opinion of the referee a trip is intentional no punishment shall be imposed; thus within the twelve-yards line a referee must enforce Law 13, and has no power to mitigate the penalty.

KNOCKING-ON is when a player strikes or propels the ball with his hands or arms.

Holding includes the obstruction of a player by the hand or any part of the arm extending from the body.

Handling is understood to be playing the ball with the hand or arm.

TOUCH is that part of the field on either side of the ground which is beyond the line of play.

Carrying is taking more than two steps while holding the ball.

The Council of the Football Association have placed the follow-interpreiations upon Laws: -

(a) All reports by referees to be made within three days after occurrence.

(p) Linesmen, where neutral, must call the attention of the referee to rough play or ungentlemanly conduct.

(c) A player putting his leg from behind another player in order to get the ball, and thus throwing his opponent, should be penalised for tripping.

(a) Wearing soft indiarubber on the soles of boots is not a violation of Law 11.

(e) The corner flag must not be removed when a corner kick is taken.

(/) The whole of the ball must have passed over the goal-line, or touch-line, before it is out of play.

(g) If after the goal-bar becomes broken or displaced, the ball passes between the goal-posts at a point which, in the opinion of the referee, is below where the bar should have been, it is a legitimate goal.
