Pires penalty miss...

[Berk (of 'Trapdoor' fame)]

...bizarre to say the least!

 

[Del Boy]

Good, ARSEnal scum

 

[Superseagull]

He tried to pass a penalty to Henry!

 

[BUTTERBALL]

this is a must see on MOTD. After they had managed to mess up the penalty, the ref awarded a free kick to Man City.

City then had a goal disallowed. Imagine how angry Wenger/the fans would have been if it had been 1-1

 

[fatboy]

What happened?

 

[Del Boy]

City then had a goal disallowed.

Why?

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

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

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Why?

not too sure, might have been offside. I'd LOVE that to have counted!

I've seen it done before

Everyone must be behind the ball. The ball must be played forward. You can pass it to another player

I didn't know that to be honest

Behind the ball or out of the box?

think they've changed the rule recently.

Behind the ball or out of the box?

You can pass it to another player. But at the time the kick was taken they must have been behind the ball, and outside of the box.

the ball must either hit the woodwork and return into play or touch an opposition player before another of your teamates can touch the ball. Rules changed recently.

 

[fatboy]

If a penalty hits the post the kicker cannot score until the ball has touched someone else.

Whoops. Perhaps I ought to go and revise the LOTG

Did that only happen recently? I thought that had always been the rule? Oh well

 

[BUTTERBALL]

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

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