Messi's penalty from tonight's 6-1 thrashing of Celta Vigo. Pity that Suarez had to be the beneficiary!

Big Bully Bollocks Boys. Wouldn't dream of doing it at 0-0 would they?

[Prufrock]

Aye. He'd have been going in the stand next time he got it, provided I could get near enough of course.

Did amuse me thinking that somewhere Danny Mills wound be losing his mind, though.

[Bruce Rioja]

This one? Isn't that illegal?

[Dr Hotdog]

No it's legal, you can pass it (as long as the ball goes forward) to an on-rushing team mate.

A c*nt's trick, if you ask me.

As long as they're behind the 18 yard line as ball is struck.

I assume that you CAN'T do that during a penalty shoot out?

Are we absolutely sure about that, mate. My understanding is that the kicker can't even touch the rebound unless the keeper (an opposing player) has touched it first. Didn't Tezzer Henry end up making a cock of himself with Pires or somesuch a few years ago?

That can't be right. Otherwise, what's the point of the penalty arc?

[Prufrock]

It's the same as any dead-ball. Once it's taken the kicker can't touch it again until someone else does. There Messi took it and Suarez nipped in and stuck it in. Yeah, Pires tried to do it to Henry, cocked it up and touched it again. Danny Mills nearly had an aneurysm.

There used to be rules that it didn't count as taken unless the ball moved one full revolution, and that a penalty ended once the ball stopped moving forwards (so in a penalty shoot-out, if it hits the post, comes out hits the keepers back and goes in it shouldn't count, as the ball has stopped moving forwards once it hits the post). Not sure if they still apply though.

I'm with Dr Hotdog. They wouldn't have done it at 0-0. W*nkers.

Every part of that arc is 10 yards from the penalty spot (so in playground speak, anyone inside it needs to "get yer yards").

Give over. Had Okocha and Djorkaeff done that whilst playing for us, you'd still be wanking over it now!

[Prufrock]

I don't even see why it's impressive?! He rolled it a yard to the side and Suarez knocked it in. It's just taking the p*ss and not on.

We're Bolton Wanderers, not Barcelona. We'd have had right on our side.

Eggsactly! The double standards of the football supporter. If we did that against the Red Shite at 0-0, or 5-0 (yeah, I know) and we'd be laughing our heads off at the cheek of it.

[BWFC_Insane]

So erm, is there a rule to prevent you doing that during a penalty shoot out?

No, it's fully legitimate. Any player can run into the box once the ball has been struck and the ball is still in play. And you can't be offside either.

[Worthy4England]

Wouldn't help England. We'd be passing it to some fckr who'd already missed

[Prufrock]

Of course there is, it's a "penalty"shootout. Not a do whatever you want shootout.

In a penalty shootout, it's just a series of penalties. The rules are the same as the taking of actual penalties are they not?

So the rules of taking a penalty are different in a shootout to taking a penalty during the course of a game?
