 I don't know what you're all so confused about.

 

The Rule states that nobody is supposed to be in the Box other than the Kicker and the Goalkeeper. Period.

 

The Ref is supposed to ensure that's the case before he allows the Game continue. Which meant it should have been a retaken Penalty Kick.

 

Had it been a legit kick the Ref was right your not allowed two touches. But it wasn't legit and so it should have been retaken.

It was the correct decidion by Madley.

Agree. Should never stand but had I been the ref as a Leicester fan I would've given it.?

Really is that what he believes or what he thinks he should say.

Yes. Had Youngy Elliott or Walsh been on the pitch that dirty cvnt would have been laid out.

Good point

 

the law is an ass in this case and needs changing. Imagine this was the last minute of injury time and you were trying to stay up. The defender dives to push your shot away off the line. He is sent off but it's no big deal as game is over. 

 

And then your penalty taker does a Riyad?  No attempt to gain an advantage - just an accident. The ball goes in but the other team get an indirect free kick. Where is the justice ?  You are denied a certain goal and have not had the benefit of retribution. Could even be due to the turf giving way as you take the kick. 

 

and then the final whistle goes and you are relegated..............

 

we can change the kick off (what's the point!) - we can get this law changed aswell. No intention should mean retake if the ball goes in. If you miss then it's just bad luck. You can't re write history. 

Where do you draw the line? John Terry's slip in the champions league final? Beckham lashing one over the bar for England because the turf moved? Both unfortunate but I wouldn't suggest either should be retaken but in "normal" circumstances, both would have scored but instead went on to lose the games. Yes it sucks and is incredible bad luck in this case but I don't think a rule change is needed.

I said that if the player misses then it's bad luck - you can't rewrite history.  If the player scores then it should be a retake. the line is fairly clear ?

The ref should have used his common sense and ruled that the second touch was involuntary and therefore not deliberate and allowed the goal to stand.

So in this case, standing foot catches the ball and it goes in then Mahrez gets to retake? Standing foot catches the ball and he misses and that's just bad luck? That tiny touch with the standing foot could be the reason why you score rather than Miss or vice versa.

But the ball DOES go in. If it misses then you can never know if it would have gone in. If it goes in then what is there to debate. No intent to gain an advantage shouldn't mean you lose the opportunity to score your penalty. i am surprised that anyone thinks changing the law isn't  a sensible thing to do  to avoid this happening again. (To anyone)

But take the first touch away and god knows where the ball would have gone. If you want a rule change then it would have to be retake regardless of whether the ball goes in or not. 

 

For me though, it's football. These things happen. It's bad luck.

Oh and anyone moaning about encroachment and keepers off their line.... ive just watched back the Kasper save against Sevilla and he was off his line and Huth and N'didi both had a foot in the box as the ball was struck. If that had been retaken and Sevilla had scored then I probably would have cried.

Yeah but if he does that he's not applying the rules of the game, whether it is an accident or not. Changing the rules is one thing and arguing it should of been retaken is another but there is absolutely no arguement for allowing it to stand. He's there to enforce the rules not play god with them.

Slimani is in the box when mahrez scores as well, so pretty sure it's a retake no matter the outcome.

[Finnegan]

It should have been taken again because of encroachment and the keeper being a mile off his line but Riyad did fvck up and it technically wasn't a goal.

Its simple really he took two touches and was called up for it.

 

You want to look at players in the box I'd imagine over half all have players in the box when the ball is struck, as syston has pointed out re the Sevilla penalty save no ones concerned when refs ignorance towards the rule goes in your favour.

[st albans fox]

Shearer agrees with me ........ not sure if that's a good thing ! 

[fazzyfox]

Isn't that Slimani on the far right, outside the box or is it Benny? He's leaning forwards but his feet are well outside and he doesn't look like any of him is in to me.

He said the law should be amended to allow instances like today to mean the goal stands. (Or is retaken). He didn't go into that much detail!

Maybe it's time the players are sent to the center circle while penalty kicks are being taken. That would comply with the Rule on encroachment. Then the Ref only has to watch the Goalkeeper and Kicker.
