Hi all, I'm a bit confused on the current rules for penalty kicks. Specifically for encroachment offences. I've always thought the rule was that if a player from either side encroached into the area before the kick was taken, then the kick had to be retaken depending on whether the goal was scored or not and depending on which team was offending. On the FA & IFAB WEBSITES there's this extra bit about 'impact' of the encroachment that I've not seen before.
The first screenshot below is from the IFAB WEBSITE. Now here's where I get confused, on the IFAB APP (second screenshot below) there's no mention of the encroachment 'impact' rule. Is this something new and the app hasn't been updated ? We covered this on the course and I don't recall anything about the 'impact' being mentioned. It was just straight yes/no black and white answer.
P.S - What do we all make of Lewandowskis penalties? Should not be allowed IMO, he caused the goalie to be off his line by stopping in the game v France.
