His back foot is still on the line and his front foot has moved so that the back of heel is barely off of the line.

So in other words "technically" it should be retaken? With the emphasis very much on the quote marks around "technically"? I rest on your face, Harris. :)
Technically 99% of penalties should be retaken as the goalkeeper moves before the ball is kicked and there is encroachment. Technically 90+% of throw ins are foul throws (as they are not taken from the point the ball went out of play). Technically there should be a penalty awarded at 90+% of corners as the defenders are fouling the attackers. Technically the referee should send several players off in most games fore using foul and abusive language. Technically very few handballs should be given as the referee is supposed to judge that the offender played the ball deliberately.

Football is a complex game played at a very fast pace. You can't in practice referee it on "technically".

Wow, that must qualify as the most misjudged response of the fledgling 2014.

Preparing for liftoff
Just watched it again and Artur had his feet firmly on the line and only began to move as the kick was taken (as a proper chap should). Very low down the ranking of goalkeepers moving before the kick.
I can't believe so many of you are taking Pate's bait (and that's not a euphemism). The rules state that a goalkeeper can move before a penalty is taken as long as he doesn't go forward of his line. Even someone of Pate's limited intellect must know that.

Pate only posted his original remarks as part of his longstanding campaign to do down everything ECFC related, and of course destroy Artur - who is the best goalie we've had for a while. Pate cannot cope with the fact that he has been slagging Artur for years, and now it turns out he's actually quite good (Artur not Pate, obviously). Upsetting for the Yankee ****, who then takes to trying to find loopholes in the rules to denigrate Artur's achievements.

What REALLY gets Pate's goat though is Exeter winning. He HATES that.

Nah, pate is just a really, really boring troll of the monotone variety. I dunno why people even bother. Low rent - low intellect.

Grecian Jay on the other hand is a class act of Internet trollism.
