The rules say not until it touches another player. But does this mean the goal keeper, such as with a deflection off the goalie? -------------------- The Knight Between Posts.

If a goal is not scored, play continues as usual. As with all free kicks, the kicker may not play the ball a second time, until it has been touched by another player, even after a rebound from the posts".

I looked so foolish on Friday just letting the shooter come in and score after a rebound. I just assumed it was like a hockey penalty shot. Where the shooter can only touch the puck once no matter what happens after the shot. Stupid soccer rules lol.
