[Albion] The flare and the penalty

[Baldseagull]

Bev is completely wrong. That guy could have been two yards further forward and it still wouldn’t be cause for a retake. If the player who booted the saved ball out for a corner had been encroaching by 6 inches, however, THAT would have forced a retake.

The player who cleared it, is one of the two stood by Moder, on the near side of the box.

I believe Bev is correct, encroachment from a defending player does not cause a retake, only if a goal is scored. Similarly, a retake should occur if an attacking player encroaches and a goal is scored.

If a defending player is encroaching and a goal is not scored then the penalty should be retaken.
