Should have been disallowed. Penalty is over as soon as the ball stops going forwards. Ref should know this. Shocking decision.

But it did't stop going forwards did it, or it wouldn't have crossed the line. It was blocked, but not saved and it ended up in the net. Has to be a goal.

yes it did. what direction was the ball travelling immediately after it hit the goalkeeper? did it stop going forwards?

You've cocked that right up!

yeah Pru - it clearly stops going forwards - how could yolu have said otherwise!! Tango has it right.

Put that whistle down Pru....

• After the players have taken positions in accordance with this Law, the
referee signals for the penalty kick to be taken
• The player taking the penalty kick must kick the ball forward
• He must not play the ball again until it has touched another player
• The ball is in play when it is kicked and moves forward

When a penalty kick is taken during the normal course of play, or time has
been extended at half-time or full time to allow a penalty kick to be taken or
retaken, a goal is awarded if, before passing between the goalposts and under
the crossbar:

• the ball touches either or both of the goalposts and/or the crossbar and/or
the goalkeeper

The referee decides when a penalty kick has been completed.

You said it yourself. It isn't ambiguous. The kick is over when the ball stops going forwards. It undeniably stops going forwards. The ref got it wrong.

When a penalty kick is taken during the normal course of play (or time added on etc) a goal is awarded if; before passing between the posts and under the crossbar, the ball touches either or both of the goalposts and/or the crossbar, and/or the goalkeeper.

I've left highlighted the important bit. Can I pick my whistle up again?

Missed the shootout bit

That said, I'm still not convinced it should have been disallowed.

Nor I. To the best of my understanding the only difference between the scenarios is that you can't score from the rebound in a penalty shoot-out.

That would be a big no from me too! (although did get all the way to the end)

If it was lay down flat, I'd want to catch a bus from one end to the other...

The lead guy didn't seem to be anchored on to anything half the time - imagine that after a faceful of Stella Artois.

Shit that's really depressing. I normally peruse this looking for a cheap laugh at someone being hit in the face with a watermelon.

I'm particularly tickled by what happens if you ask GoogleMaps' direction facility for directions from Japan to China.

Especially instruction number 43.
