    Can some explain what the difference is with direct and indirect free kicks, what type of foul is committed, which is strange to me.

    An indirect free kick is given when the foul is deemed to be an obstruction, rather than a foul where you kick or grab your opponent, or handle the ball when the free kick will be given as direct.

    Hopefully should be able to help you with this as a qualified referee. A direct free kick is one where the player taking the free kick is allowed to directly aim for goal, an indirect free kick requires at least 2 players to touch the ball before entering the goal. The taker is only allowed one touch of the ball from the free kick in both circumstances. Direct free kicks are given for fouls generally that result from physical contact, anything that a penalty would be given for such as handball, a bad tackle, punching an opponent, pushing an opponent, grabbing an opponent would all result in a direct free kick. Indirect free kicks are given when there is an "outside interference" of some description, such as offside, swearing, aggressive behaviour, etc. Also little bit of trivia for you, if a player fights with a team mate then both players should only recieve a yellow card and an indirect free kick should be awarded to the opposing team.

    So your saying Bowyer and Dyer shouldnt have been sent off? I absolutely loved that and it also happened to be the same game as the Stephen Taylor Platoon incident they both still crack me up.

    I'm a qualified ref too. Watch the ref if you want to know if it's a direct or an indirect free kick. The ref will have his arm up for an indirect free kick until the ball makes contact with another player after the free kick is taken ;)
