[Football] A penalty from a Penalty

I don't think us getting a free header at a corner is likely to a) happen or b) have any impact on the result. We're utterly woeful at corners.
Was never a penalty anyway, so all a bit moot, in terms of "should've beens".
A loss would've been incredibly harsh given the overall performance.
Think Charlie Adam not falling flat on his face helped Dunk. I suspect Adam was so surprised by the tackle he simply forgot to fall over but benefit of the doubt and fair play to him.

Dunk clean got the ball. Let’s move on

The fact there were no appeals from the stoke players really helped us there.

Haha. I was stood (jumping up & down screaming) 10 metres away. Dunk cleanly took the ball from Adam with his knee & thigh, then guided the ball over the line with the inside of his forearm. We were expecting a second penalty. I’ll take what followed all day long. Had great fun telling Stoke fans on the way back to the car...

Can you imagine the scenes it was given and Ryan saved it again

The ref should have given another just for shits and giggle, to see jese and his team mates going full postal at each other.

I think the whole penalty debacle can probably be summed up best as a comedy of errors, apart from Ryan's save of course which was magnificent - that last split second adjustment of the hand, incredible. But no Gary & Co, let's not talk about that amazing save, or that Barcelon-esque first goal, let's debate stroppy players, shit penalties and whether Lewis is a naughty but lucky boy or not (we all know he is of course).

I noticed that too, but to be honest I’d guess 90% of pens have encroachment!

Yes, I'm pretty sure that's technically correct, though I don't think that rule is applied very rigorously.
What also occurred to me, after seeing Dunk's wonder tackle from behind, is this. I know the players have to stand outside the penalty area when the kick is taken, but is there anything in the rules which says they can't stand next to the goal, but behind the goal line (roughly where the ball ended up)? - they would be in a much better position then to counter any follow-up.

The players other than the kicker and goalkeeper must be:
at least 9.15 m (10 yds) from the penalty mark
behind the penalty mark
inside the field of play
outside the penalty area
After the players have taken positions in accordance with this Law, the referee signals for the penalty kick to be taken.

Oh well, just a thought! Thanks for clearing it up.

It isn't, because *usually* the penalty is scored, so it doesn't really matter.
However, in this instance, Dunk stopped a certain goal being scored on the rebound. No WAY would he have got there in time to do that, had he not encroached before the pen was struck. A rule is a rule, and had that gone against us up the other end, I'd have gone apeshit. You've got 2 officials standing there who are supposed to be watching out for that, and both failed (thankfully). Its not even in open play. Easy decision. Absolutely piss-poor officiating. Their rank incompetence saved us (albeit it shouldn't have been a pen in the first place).

The 'goal' shouldn't be allowed if it's the attacking team encroaching, shirley. I'm pretty sure there were Stoke bodies in the box on Saturday, as well as Brighton.

There were indeed. And if an encroacher had stuck away the rebound, then no goal. But as an encroaching defender stopped a goal being scored, I think thats grounds for a retake.
Anyway, they ballsed it up. Thats the main thing

HAD that happened at the other end I would I hope I wouldnt have my blue and white tinted specs on and been more pissed off with players fighting over the taker of the kick and then thought oh well it shouldnt have been given in the first place. They werent entitled to one shot never mind more
