Hypothetical penalty scenario?

[beensaidbefore]

In light of tonights penalty carry on, it got me thinking. If Holt had ran and belted the penalty in the net it obviously wouldn't have stood as Boyle was in the box. But...

My scenario is, if a 'penalty taker' places the ball on the spot and walks a long way back, out of the box and the D, pretending to take an almighty run up, could another player run from elsewhere on the edge of the box and take the penalty without acknowledging the ref etc, or does it have to be the original 'penalty taker'?

Can't happen, taker must be identified prior to kick

OK, thanks.

Worth a try😂

On second thoughts, does the player only need to be identified to the ref? Or does the goalie need to know too?

Doesn't it have to be whoever places the ball has to take it?

Not sure tbh

This is a good question and it'll be interesting to find out what the rules actually say.

The referee shall confirm the following requirements
before the penalty kick is taken:

the kicker is identified

the ball is properly placed on the penalty mark

the goalkeeper is on the goal line between the goal
posts and facing the kicker

the team-mates of the kicker and the goalkeeper are:
• outside the penalty area
• outside the penalty arc
• behind the ball

Not specific but looks like anyone can spot the ball and only the ref needs to know who the kicker is

Interesting. Maybe it could be pulled off. Would need to get it right first time, wouldn't be fooling anyone second time round.

I've never had a ref confirm who was taking a pen in a game I've been playing in although it may just be that they don't bother. Never noticed if they do it in professional football or if they just assume it's the guy putting the ball down.

Manchester City tried a few stunts when taking penalties in the mid-1950s.

Don Revie was the midfield playmaker at the time and probably devised the ideas.

The plan worked out that that a player would run up to take the penalty but jump over the ball allowing a team mate to follow up and roll the ball past the bewildered goalkeeper. I think it was ruled out and the kick had to be retaken.

The varaint of that was for the penalty taken to tap the ball to one side for a team mate to score. I think that one counted provided that the ball moved sufficiently to be deemed to be in play.

I think that the rules were modified to deal with such situations.

Messi scored like the 2nd example you gave above last season.

Either that or he played a wee pass from the spot and another player ran in to score.

There was a bit of a fuss about it as being a tad show-offy but it was a perfectly good goal.

I'm sure Johan C did the second variant in the 70s. Did Pirez not balls that up at Arsenal a while back
