What a save!...Oh wait

[Corky]

That rule came in to stop the ball hitting the post then keeper's back then in. Letter of the law it shouldn't stand, but I have never seen one chalked off that hasn't hit the woodwork though.

The ball was never dead, it was spinning all the time after the save and moving towards the net?

Goal stands?

The penalty kick has to go forward, i.e. towards the goal, once there is backwards movement the ball is dead, and it did move away form the goal. It was brought in around 1991.

From Law 14 of The Laws of the Game: http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/affederation/generic/81/42/36/lawsofthegame_2010_11_e.pdf

When a penalty kick is taken during the normal course of play, or time has been extended at half-time or full time to allow a penalty kick to be taken or retaken, a goal is awarded if, before passing between the goalposts and under the crossbar:

• the ball touches either or both of the goalposts and/or the crossbar and/or
the goalkeeper

The referee decides when a penalty kick has been completed.

There is no further clarification for penalty shoot outs, so this is a goal. Referee spot on.

Thank you!

If the ball is blasted at the kepper and he sticks out his hand and its spins off still in the air, and went in! even tho the ball was pushed in the opposite direction but the spin of the ball swings it in the net, its still classed as a goal! why not along the ground?

There is. <a class="postlink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penalty_shootout_(association_football" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penalty_sh ... n_football</a>)

In relation to your reference of the referee deciding when the penalty kick has been completed, this is in reference to extending the game at the end of a half to facilitate a penalty in a normal game.

That looks like it's a penalty shoot out, in which case that goal shouldn't have stood as once it hits the keeper and then moves forward, then the ball is dead, and it wouldn't matter if it goes in the net after that. This is why in penalty shoot outs you cant put the ball in the net if it comes off the keeper. If it hits the keeper and comes back, then it's considered a save. The ref was wrong there.

So if the keeper gets a palm to the ball and the ball goes slightly forward but has enough spin to curl back over his hand into the goal then that doesn't count?

Nowt wrong with the goal in the vid imo. He didn't save it if it has enough spin to still go in.
