International Games | 8th - 15th Oct '25

Never a penalty on a million years. Whats he supposed to do? Smacked at him from less than a yard away. The game has gone
 
They can't. They can check for penalties and potential red cards before the corner but not whether the corner was correctly awarded.
The commentator must have got it wrong then. The corner was taken and headed in with no other touches, so offside was impossible.

Perhaps they were looking at a possible foul just before it was headed.
 
So in the N. Ireland v Germany game N. Ireland had a free kick in a very promising position - just outside the box. German wall 10 yards back, so far so fair. Irish guy starts his run-up and at the same time a German lad runs out from the wall and was about 3 yards away from the ball before it was struck.

Surely that can't be right? But I don't know the rule for certain....

Unless someone in an offside position was interfering (oo er missus) with the keeper. - As Wolves claimed when Mr. J. Stones Esq scored our winner at the Yellow-Dome last season.

If it's a direct free kick that's not allowed.
 
Why do the referees get involved at corners, just give the free kick after, corners are now taking for ever
 
Meunier with the goal, long time since I heard that name.
