Since when can the penalty taker act on rebounds for a penalty shootout?Same on penalty shoot out?
So you thought someone could just dribble forward with the ball from a free kick???I know this is true with penalties, didn’t realise it included free kicks
Yep it's daft and assumedly is just a weird quirk that they didn't expect to happen. I get why you can't take two touches from a freekick, I get why the post can't act as a player. But how hard is it to just add a little note to the rule to say if it's from a direct freekick and the ball comes off the post the taker can then have a touch.Agree - hardly like anyone is going to use that tactic as a ploy to confuse the opposition.
In a penalty shoot out you can’t have a second go anyway even if it’s come back off the keeper.Same on penalty shoot out?
So the ref doesn't know the rules then?
No rebounds off keeper either for shoot outsSame on penalty shoot out?
Nor does the commentator, even on the replay. Shocking from him.
Most people would know the rule but the situation is so unusual it’s easy to miss.I always think it’s a bit crazy when people spend so much time talking about and watching football and don’t know about laws like this.
was just going to post thisI have a vague memory of John MacPhail having one disallowed at York that hit the post or bar and he put the rebound in without anyone else touching it.
He did, it was at bootham crescent ( in front sunlun fans ) he hit bar , rebound came back to him and he headed it over keeper into net. Ref rightly disallowed it .Think John Mcphail did summit similar with a penalty V York City in 80s
Never really thought about it. It can happen with penalties when the taker is the furthest man forward but from a free kick the ball has to pass 10 to 15 players to get back to the taker. Thinking back it’s obviously reallyHow? Do you think a player can take a touch from a free kick and keep going with the ball?
It was at Roker park, Marco was on a hat trick but Mcphail wouldn’t let him take it. To say we were pissed off when he went for the rebound would be putting it mildlyI have a vague memory of John MacPhail having one disallowed at York that hit the post or bar and he put the rebound in without anyone else touching it.
Not a chance, I thought it was a fairly obvious decision to make.I’m fairly certain I’ve seen players score a goal after their penalty has rebounded off the post
