Pires penalty miss...

[Juan Albion]

Or if you are French.

 

[perseus]

This is for the clever wanna be refs. If you take a corner and by some slight mishap of direction and concentration the ball ends up in you own goal without touching another player, is it a goal ?

Too late for me to remember tonight, but I can't say it won't happen to the Albion. ..... ? Some of corners lately have been a bit naff.

 

[Robot Chicken]

What is the whole POINT of passing the ball? You really CAN'T get a better chance of scoring than at a penalty. Just whack the bleeding thing.

 

[StevieV]

to be a cocky arrogant french b@stard?

 

[Turkey]

I swear I was told you can't pass it when I did my ref training. Not convinced you're allowed to pass it, even though it was done in the past.

 

[perth seagull]

Would've looked good if it worked.

How hard was it to simply tap the ball towards Henry?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

I swear I was told you can't pass it when I did my ref training. Not convinced you're allowed to pass it, even though it was done in the past.

The ball has to go forward.



That is all

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.

The ball has to go forward.
