Question about that penalty.

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

I am not saying a player would be able to do this but would have happened if Raul had just stopped before hitting the ball which would have meant that the Sevilla players would have been running into the penalty area? Would they have been punished for encroachment? Would Raul be allowed to that?
Expert advice please.

I believe a player can't come to a halt in his run up. As for encroachment it happened anyway, was perfectly clear but no officials spotted it apparently so who knows.

The rules changed now so a player is only guilty of encroachment if they effect the play after the penalty is taken (they touch the ball or block an attacker from reaching the ball).

I thought that was for the beginning of the new season. But I'm not entirely sure so stand erected if wrong.

Nope. Can't halt a run up.

That interpretation was brought in at start of 19/20 season

No this season. It’s why Sterling got to retake a Coady encroached and then cleared the rebound.

This is the rule. If you stop your run up, the defenders get a free kick and you get booked, if you scored or not.

Lisa is obviously doing a good job then!!! - but i think phrases like that are better in the OT Porn Thread (if there is one!)


Not sure how auto-correct changed "stand to be corrected" to that!!!

Interesting that Fernandes with his trademark run up pause/skip/jump, which was missing in his last EL penalty and commented on, has never been questioned by either ref or var in the PL.

What happened to Bruno Fernandes' penalty hop? Solskjaer explains

Bruno Fernandes switched his penalty technique because he knows he’s become a watched man after his outstanding start to life at Manchester United, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed.

Bruno Fernandes opens up on Jorginho-esque penalty technique

The Manchester United midfielder netted from the spot to give Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side the lead against Watford, but his run-up raised a few eyebrows

the taker can alter the speed of his run so long as forward momentum is maintained.

I would like to see traore take a penalty, nice run up to get to full speed then do a sliding/diving header just to see what happens.

Auto err.....correct didn't change it.
Why would a scaffold errector belong in a porn thread?

My god that made me laugh!

Whatever turns you on I suppose. But it underlines the sense of reading what you plan to post before you post it.

Is that why I have heard there is now a long queue outside your house?

if Traore takes one he just just blast it as hard as he can straight down the middle at the keeper, with his power if the keeper doesn't get out of the way keeper and ball end up in the back of the net

I don't think stopping dead in the run up in order to highlight encroachment (if peripheral vision allowed this) would actually be the same thing as an illegal feint, which is intended to deceive the keeper.
