If you see a ref, with his arm up, then its IN DIRECT.

We have so many mistakes in football today, l think they should thro the rulle book away, as the refs, don't look at it in todays game, AND l still want to know where the SIX minutes come from, you get 30s seconds for subs, injury time is down to the officals, normally you get 3 minutes added on but NOT six minutes, unless there was a serious injury.

Giggs touched the ball, thats the free kick over with, Ronaldo kicked the ball after the free kick had been taken so it's a perfectly legitimate goal. If Giggs or Ronaldo had just shot from the free kick and scored it wouldn't have been a goal because as you said it was an indirect free kick. Ronaldo scored indirectly from the free kick so there was nothing wrng with it whatsoever. And once again it was 5 (FIVE) minutes injury time.
