Interesting point, I would say during a game if you haven't noticed it until the penalty spot is beyond repair then you might be forced to abandon, having said that at grass roots level I often see terrible penalty spots. During a penalty shoot out you could swap around.
The keeper still has one foot on the line when it was taken.
The AR should have picked up the unsporting behavior. It looks like other payers were in on it. Some standing in front of the keeper and some keeping the referee occupied when it happened.
I feel that there should be some sort of sanction imposed against this team and/or the clubs post game. At least a fine.
Haha, quality move from the keeper. ALthough must say I'd probably be having it retaken as not a fan of how the keeper is rushing off his line as its taken.
Should be a USB for the keeper, and if the spot is damaged you could change ends. But all that was missed. The ref should have spotted the damage to the penalty mark when he monitored the placing of the ball. Given that he didn't, there's no reason to retake the kick.
True. It's like when there's a wall on the goal line - that means both feet on the goal line. However, when he's 1 step off the goal line and it's shot over the crossbar, I think it's safe to say that encroachment was trifling.
He looks much further off his line because he's coming forwards, but all that's important is where he is the moment it's touched. And that's 1 pace off.
