He would have looked a right idiot if that was saved!

It was a charity match.

Not very charitable towards the keeper though, or sportsman like.

Would have laughed if he had brushed the top of it when passing his foot over.

Exactly. Can't do that with a penalty otherwise everyone would be dummying the keeper! Pity the first player in a competition match that tries it.

Its a charity match and was funny - Don't see nothing wrong with it
Why? He looked as if he was going to kick it one way and then kicked it the other. Surely sending the keeper the wrong way is a good trait to have as a penalty taker? It's a bit too risky a technique to use in a real match (that was a charity game) but I can't see it breaks any laws.

Don't see anything wrong with that at all. Great finish to be honest!
I think most Premier League referees would call that unsporting behaviour, issue a yellow card, and order that the penalty is retaken. I thought there used to be rules governing 'feints' - the article says they are allowed.
I remember there being some discussion after a Spanish player staggered his run up against England in the Euro '96 quarter final shoot-out.
