Pires penalty miss...

[Del Boy]

Just saying on BBC that Pires looked embarassed after it all went wrong and that the Man City Vassell goal SHOULD have stood.

No suprise that a goal against a 'big team' isn't counted!

You are right WW, the rule has always been that way

I remember seeing a game where a player passed it sideways and another of his team mates ran onto the pass and scored. That goal COUNTED.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

If you can't be bothered to read all that, head down and smash it!

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

I'm pretty sure you've always been able to pass it to another player, as long as he's outside the box when you play it.

Was a Liverpool game. Owen and someone.

A player taking a penalty kick plays the ball forward for a team-mate
to run on to it and score. Is this permitted?

Yes, provided the correct penalty kick procedures have been followed.

 

[Yorkie]

The ball didn't move forward. Pires rolled his boot over it and it rolled very slightly but didn't move off the spot.

Surely a pro footballer would know the rules. You can't pass a penalty for someone else to put in can you!

I thought you could ?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Course you can - and no you cant score a rebound of the woodwork

Just like a free kick, you can pass to another? I was waiting for this to happen one day ?!

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

surely the ball has to have one full revolution though?

pires only rocked the ball, meaning no full revolution meaning the penalty should still have been allowed to be taken?
