That's actually written into the rules, I believe. Any infringement at a penalty that doesn't result in the benifit is ignored. i.e. if the keeper comes off his line and it goes in, the infringement is ignored. If an attacking player encroaches, but the penalty is cleared, no infringement.

Which were the dodgy sendings off the rough challenge from behind on a yellow card? The tugging of the shirt on the last man admitted by hawkins? The petulant kicking away of the ball by someone on a yellow card?
The third goal that was a penalty was offside? Clearly not the goal itself, so I presume you mean the build up, durinig which dickinson was standing near the byline, playing the stockport players near the edge of the box onside.

surely your not suggesting he cheated , you must reasonable & rational & agree that the ref got everything right or use acker 79's seat so you can see every incident through the refs eyes.....or just maybe you could be right.
Or russell slade's seat, or the seat of the thousands of other people who aren't blaming the ref.

Remember that shootout in the Champions League Final a few years ago when the Brazilian keeper was way off his line for all the pens and I think he saved most of them? I'd have thought seeing that, the FA might have cracked down on it over here...

Unfortunately, what I shouted at the officials about this at the time is not really quotable on here!!

Those photos are shocking. The lino should be severely reprimanded for that. No wonder the keeper saved it - he was almost on the sodding penalty spot!

Two reasons, you would think the ref or the linesman would have seen one of them.
Why are five defenders the furthest advanced of all the players. Where are our players following in?
But yes the ref should have made the penalty be taken again for encroachment. What the linesman is bothering to look so intent on if he is going to miss the goalie being six foot off his line I have no idea.

It always surprises me that linesman do not get more involved in the game. Quite clearly from the picture shown the linesman has a perfect view of the goalkeeper off his line and he should have raised his flag.

the linesman looks as thosugh he is concentrating on seeing whether the ball crosses the line, rather that the position of the goalkeeper.
The picture also shows it was a poor pen as the keeper is going right before Forster hit it.

You have to be pretty good to base which side you hit on which way the keeper moves. I'd have thought most players decide where to hit it - regardless of the keeper.

Oh contrare here is my reply from my contact at the FL
Dear Mr Hodges
Thank you for your email, which was referred to the National Group Manager for attention. He has responded as follows:
“I have to say that these are very difficult situations for an assistant referee to judge with the naked eye.
He has to listen for the thud of the ball and then watch that the goalie moves forward after that.
It sounds easy – in practice it isn’t.
From the picture sent in, it does appear that the assistant has made an error of judgement, but not a ‘glaring’ one.
I will forward this to his coach so that he can go through it with him.”

Good on the football league for replying and by taking action. Obviously they would never have replayed or changed the result of the match. So that reply suggests the best possible solution.
I would never have expected the fooball league to reply in a million years.

I'm sorry but thats complete bollocks Mr Football League man, for starters linesman should have good eyesight. Secondly I linoed in a game once and the opposition got a penalty, from where I stood I could clearly see the ball on the spot out the corner of my eye and could EASILY see when it was kicked in relation to the Keepers position. In this Forsters case its blatantly obvious the keeper is off the line and I dont buy the whole "It sounds easy – in practice it isn’t." rubbish.

You know it's bollocks, I know it's bollocks but so does the man from the FL but he's not going to slag of an official to fans is he. The fact he has said he is notifying the coach shows he admits there was a problem that needs to be addressed. Whether it is is another question
