How did I miss that BHA incident? It's a penalty all day day I'm afraid. But there was a similar incident last season in a European game with Arsenal where the ref said it would spoil the game giving a penalty.
Not sure what you mean by inner 'D'? Are you referring to the 6 yard box (know as the goal area in the Laws of the game)? I was at Newcastle and thought we were extremely lucky to get away with it because it's a penalty all day long. For a goal kick, the ball just needs to be kicked, it doesn't need to leave any particular area (other than it has to start within the goal area).With the Brighton one, to me it looks like the ball went outside that inner D bit, which is where the ball needs to be for a goal kick. So when the defender picks up the ball, it's not in play. Right?
It has to start within or touching the 6 yard box, doesn't it?Not sure what you mean by inner 'D'? Are you referring to the 6 yard box (know as the goal area in the Laws of the game)?

Was about to post the same thingIt has to start within or touching the 6 yard box, doesn't it?
In the clip above it looks like it's outside the 6 yard box for both of the 2 "moments" (the pick up and the pass) before the goalie gets to it.
Therefore no penalty, right?
I see it that Bart rolls the ball and it stops on the line. Igor then passes it to Hinsh (which is when the ball is now back in play) who picks it up and throws it back to Bart. If the ball was outside the goal area when Igor kicked it then I agree it wasn't a pen but from where I was in the stand, it looked on the line, as I believe it does in the video.It has to start within or touching the 6 yard box, doesn't it?

As frustrating as it was, the penalty was conceded before the final whistle!As far as I'm concerned, regardless of rules or consistency or fairness, owing to the fact we conceded a penalty once after the final whistle had blown both Toon and Villa can get f**ked with their whining.
I'm still going to continue being irate about it all the same.As frustrating as it was, the penalty was conceded before the final whistle!
Hard to tell but when Bart rolls it, it looks like it goes beyond the line to my untrained eye. So I don't believe it's in play for the next 2 motions. But who knows.I see it that Bart rolls the ball and it stops on the line. Igor then passes it to Hinsh (which is when the ball is now back in play) who picks it up and throws it back to Bart.

Well it was in front us in that stand behind the goal and if it had it rolled outside of the goal area then we would have been able to tell. At the time I commented that I thought it was a pen and we got away with one.Hard to tell but when Bart rolls it, it looks like it goes beyond the line to my untrained eye.

Wonder which player(s) were big enough to give him a post-match Wieffer-esque hugWhat a wonderful plank he is. Love it when villa players mess up
