Big lad next to me asked the same thing Saw nothing wrong with it , either . But I'm glad it all panned out as it did .
I assume the call was that the goalie moved before kick taken. Seen a lot more obvious than that which haven't been given and we didn't notice him move, but we had 3 last season like that against us didn't we so I'll take it
One of the Palace players encroached into the area as penalty being taken According to radio report </p>
That would be more like it.... as the amount Speroni moved off his line to me was minimal. But it seemed like it was the linesman that made the decision to me, surely meaning movement off the line which is all the linesman does for penalties surely? I thought it was up to the ref to watch for encroachment?
The decision was made by the linesman Who flagged straight away and put the flag accross his chest to indicate the kick to be retaken. The linesman is responsible for two things at penalties: Ensuring GK stays on line Ensuring whole of ball crosses line (if a goal)
