I'm totally baffled at some of the approach antics to the ball by the takers in the WC. Kasper had an excellent point v Croatia when in my mind he rightly appealed to the officials re: the first goal of the shootout. I know the law about the run-ups was tinkered with a while back, but is a player allowed to go as far as to send the keeper the wrong way by feigning to shoot then placing the ball the other side? That penalty, amongst many others in the tournament was surely questionable, since John Aldridge invented the concept many moons ago. Are any british commentators explaining the latest ruling cos' some of the kicks allowed are a joke IMHO!

You can stutter but not stop is how I understand the rule to be

Of course, like anything else, there will be a judgement on what "stop" means................

But Kasper is no follower of the rules, he was off his line before the ball was struck which he also should be called up for.............

The ironic thing about Schmeichel's protest was that he was about two yards off his line by the time the penalty was taken. However, as far as I'm aware stuttering run ups have always been allowed, you're just not allowed to stop, which no-one did from either side in either of the shoot outs last night.

Exactly and does the taker get any benefit from a stuttering run up? Surely he has lost the momentum to drive in a blistering shot beating the keeper with pace. The only possible advantage it could possibly give is if by doing so the keeper has been fooled into committing himself before the ball is kicked.

Just hope England are practising taking pens, we've learned the hard way.

Well at least the manager has first hand experience, and one would hope, should make sure we are well prepared !

I'm with Mr Moxey on this one!!!

Not a word from our resident Guru of Glovesmanship about the antics of (both) keepers...in the takers' faces and then prancing up and down and back and forth like Billy Elliot on stimulants while the kick was being taken.

How strange? Care to comment, Pate??
