Bob Madley's comical errors for Mahrez Penalty.

Recommended Posts

https://streamable.com/ctyyy - replay of the penalty.

 

Watch Bob Madley when Riyad strikes the ball. Madley is looking towards the goalkeeper when he strikes it, so how could he see the two touches.

 

Bob Madley is influenced by the Man City players reaction, he didn't even see the two touches by Riyad.

 

Also, you can clearly see two Man City players in the box before Riyad strikes the ball, so it should have been a re-take anyway.

The foul was outside the box so we can't complain about the penalty

That was marginal - think contact was on the line 

 

why is he watching the keeper ??  That's the lino's job. Or the lino should be asked to check for encroachment- no way should a pen entering the goal result in an indirect free kick for the defending team unless the officials are certain no other misdemeanours have taken place - and they did re the encroachment

It's the right decision, never mind the fact that he's looking right at him as he takes the kick.

No he isn't, he's looking at the goalkeeper when Mahrez strikes with the ball. He couldn't have seen the two touches.

Contact on the line/inside the box = peno

 

Mahrez had two touches = missed peno

 

Players inside the box = retake?

 

Goalie off the line = retake?

 

Was one of our players in the box? Not sure what that means.

 

Either way, I think probably a retake would have been best, but the fact that it was two touches means it was missed either way.

 

Edit: And the reason the game is so much fun is the human element, the mistakes, the errors, the opinions, and the BS. No decision should be perfect, or the game becomes dull.

Mahrez strikes the ball (twice), Madley is looking right at him:

The ball goes into the goal, Madley turns his head to watch:

What about the 2 players in the box? And who said that he wouldn't score if it was 1 touch.

I deleted the extra spaces, changed missed to ineligible and highlighted the key words. Perhaps it's easier to understand now?

That first picture would be great for training officials, asking how many offences can you spot? Just need to photoshop in a stray dog and a beach ball and the conference would go on for hours. It always gets me how the linesman only has one job to do in this situation (now that ball over goal line is automated) yet never has the guts to say what he has seen. The keeper doesn't affect Mahrez slipping but rules are rules, he's off his line. Badley has already checked that the ball is on the spot and needs to watch for encroachment. Like a huge Argentinian guy haring into the box before the ball is kicked, that kind of thing. Double touch, absolutely correct but the thought that Badley is getting praised for being alert, eagle eyed, brave...is sickening.

The rules state a retake. 

No they do not. From the Laws of the Game:

 

Quote

If, after the penalty kick has been taken:

 

the kicker touches the ball again (except with his hands) before it has touched another player:

 

• an indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team, the kick to be taken from the place where the infringement occurred (see Law 13 – Position of Free Kick)
