Is a penalty a free Kick ?

I bet with Paddy Power a free kick and a header would score in a match. I think it is

No there different, why bet and not know what your betting on? :confused:

No, a penalty is a penalty and a free-kick is a free-kick.

Penalty kick (association football), a type of free kick awarded when the foul occurs inside the offending player's penalty box

Free kick penalty

You can pass from a penalty though, if that helps.

Its a penalty kick.

MrBlobby · 3 Jan 2017 at 22:28

Yeah I don't think it's a free kick really. What relevance is the Ripper stuff ?

The fa seem to define it as one!

A penalty kick is awarded if a player commits a direct free kick offence inside their penalty area or off the field as part of play as outlined in Laws 12 and 13.

Fifa too as it's a subsection of free kicks.

The FA knows sweet FA about football!

Where have they said it's a free kick? They are just referring to a list of offences which would award a direct free kick anywhere else.
