Tetteys Jig 830 Posted January 16, 2010 What on earth was that decision by the ref? i know it probably won''t be that important in the end, but i do not see any reason whatsoever why hoolahans rebound from the penalty breaches the rules, fully confused, i think the ref feels sorry for Colchester Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UEA Canary 0 Posted January 16, 2010 my only guess is he may have handballed it! but didnt seem to go anywhere near his arm! oh well im happy with 3!! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LinkNR9 0 Posted January 16, 2010 You can''t be the first player to touch the ball if your penalty hits the woodwork, I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trent Canary 0 Posted January 16, 2010 The rule is that if the ball hits the post or bar the penalty taker cant have the next touch.If the keeper saves it then the taker can go for it. Strange rule but its been around for as long as I can remember. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nexus_Canary 1,016 Posted January 16, 2010 Its because no other player touched the ballWes hit the bar, the ball came back to him and he scored.Another player has to touch the ball because its akin to him side footing it then toe punting it into the corner once the keeper has been sold Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davness 0 Posted January 16, 2010 I''m scratching my head trying to figure that one out. Perhaps the referee has only ever refereed penalty shoot-outs before, so thought the rebound rule in shoot-outs still applies in actual play? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted January 16, 2010 didn''t it come off the keeper tho? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nexus_Canary 1,016 Posted January 16, 2010 Crossbar then straight back to Wes feet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trent Canary 0 Posted January 16, 2010 [quote user="Jimmy Smith"]didn''t it come off the keeper tho?[/quote]Dont know, if so then it was the wrong decision, but obviously the ref didnt think so. No mention of it on Radio Norfolk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mason 47 1,379 Posted January 16, 2010 I think there is a rule for all set pieces that you cant touch the ball twice with anothe player on either side touching it. Its never an issue with most set pieces as you''d have to be pretty fast anyway! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newyorkcanary 14 Posted January 16, 2010 Watched the feed online and it was the correct call. Didn''t touch the keeper. Hit crossbar and Hoops was the 1st to touch it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delboycanary 0 Posted January 16, 2010 Must be honest it looked like the keeper got a touch after it hit the bar , thought he gave handball!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
We jammin bor 0 Posted January 16, 2010 A penalty is a direct kick from 12 yards,the same player cannot touch the ball twice,consecutively.That is it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
