len adams of port campbell, vic aust asks...

can a goal keeper score a goal from a goal kick

Answer provided by Referee Keith Contarino

Absolutely!! It would be a heck of a kick but if it goes into the opponents goal and no Laws have been broken before it gets there, than it's a goal!!

it would be a hefty kick on a short field with plenty of wind and a sleepy keeper but who knows it COULD be a real miracle someday as well as a GOOD GOAL! Cheers
