Prior to my game on Saturday I spent 5 minutes watching a youth match on the adjacent pitch. One of the teams were awarded a penalty and the designated kicker had a moan that the penalty spot was in a hollow but the referee insisted on the ball being placed on the marked spot. Actually from where I was standing it looked pretty bad - the lower 1/3 of the ball seemed to disappear into the ground. What followed was quite comical - the penalty taker completely miskicked the ball which bounced, spun up around 10ft in the air, deceived the keeper and went into the goal. In my opinion the miskick was entirely due to the ball being placed on the hollow where the penalty spot was. My question is - would you have allowed the kicker to have moved the ball slightly to avoid the hollow?
