I expected this to be a video of Elphick's "handball" v Bournemouth for a second. You're right though - top refereeing from that man!

 

[Twizzle]

That keeper's HAT!

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Brilliant! Whatever happened to 'keep your eye on the ball'?

There used to be a rule in Penalty shootouts that the ball became dead as soon as it stopped moving forward. Was dropped a while back I think though.

Was that around the time the replaced the tape between the goalposts with a proper crossbar?

Nope. Apparently 1987 following an incident at the Mexico World Cup. To be fair it was more of a clarification than a rule change.

Anyone able to translate the Italian, 'cos I'm wondering now why the original penalty taker looks so cheesed off with the ref even when the ball's gone in...

I thought Google might be able to help... but apparently not:

Playoff Termeno - Dro. Fourth penalty: takes palm. the ball hits the bar ... and rises to the bell tower. Palm is in despair, angels celebrate, but watch the ball that slowly bags. The referee El Hadi covalida goal then the error Turrina ... Tramin promoted excellence in. The framework makes use of replay is to technical error.

Aaah! Crystal clear.

Actually, one of my best friends over here is Italian, he talks just like that!

Next time I see him I'll try and get him to translate it, but it might not come out mich better than google!
