Down Down?Status quo
Whatever you want.Down Down?
From the video, all I can see is that one of the Newcastle players runs in way too early. Shouldn't the penalty then just be retaken, and not be given as a freekick the other way?The FA's site says this:
Once the referee has signalled for a penalty kick to be taken, the kick must be taken. If, before the ball is in play, one of the following occurs:
the player taking the penalty kick or a team-mate infringes the Laws of the Game:
except for the following when play will be stopped and restarted with an indirect free kick, regardless of whether or not a goal is scored:
- if the ball enters the goal, the kick is retaken
- if the ball does not enter the goal, the referee stops play and restarts with an indirect free kick
the goalkeeper or a team-mate infringes the Laws of the Game:
- a penalty kick is kicked backwards
- a team-mate of the identified kicker takes the kick; the referee cautions the player who took the kick
- feinting to kick the ball once the kicker has completed the run-up (feinting in the run-up is permitted); the referee cautions the kicker
a player of both teams infringes the Laws of the Game, the kick is retaken unless a player commits a more serious offence (e.g. illegal feinting)
- if the ball enters the goal, a goal is awarded
- if the ball does not enter the goal, the kick is retaken; the goalkeeper is cautioned if responsible for the infringement
The only thing I can think of that could have that outcome is if one of the penalty taker's team mates impeded a defending player after the penalty was taken, but before it had crossed the line.
Yes.From the video, all I can see is that one of the Newcastle players runs in way too early. Shouldn't the penalty then just be retaken, and not be given as a freekick the other way?
Can't see that at all, looking at the clip.From a tweet
From a tweet: "Ref has told players it was a foul on the edge of the box by Gayle."
