What will the referee do - will an own goal from a throw-in be awarded or disallowed?

We often witness in football matches when a player, after a throw-in, passes the ball back to the goalkeeper and it's clumsy, leading to goalkeepers making mistakes and allowing attackers to score.

This is because they don't want to allow the ball thrown in from behind the touchline to go into their goal. In a hurry, they try to clear or stop it, and are often caught and concede a goal.

And these “difficult” back-passes can simply be let go, and there will be no goal, even if the ball ends up in the net.

Because, the rules of football state that neither a goal nor an own goal from a direct throw-in is awarded, due to the fact that in football it is an offense to score a goal with your hand, fist, etc.

Also, the rule is that you cannot score an own goal from a free kick or any other restart. That is, you can, but it will not be awarded, according to the rules of football.

“A goal cannot be scored directly from a throw-in in football. If the ball does enter the goal from a throw-in, the referee will restart play with a goal kick or a corner kick,” the rules state.
