The penalty should have been retaken.

[HIBS NUTS]

I watched the highlight tonight on sportscene, the aberdeen goalkeeper was miles off his line.
What makes it even worse, is the motherwell penalty was retaken, and it was not as bad.😡

[SiinDubai]

Well of his line

[matty_f]

Considering Aberdeen got to retake their penalty against us earlier in the season, that’s very poor.
I haven’t seen it back myself but i was told he still had one foot on the line when the penalty was struck - which is allowed.

[wookie70]

Watched it on Sportscene and that is a very clear re-take.

[Glory Lurker]

McKirdy should have taken it. It was only a penalty because he didn't score. Sliding doors, thin margins and all that.

Na can’t agree there. If McKirdy had taken it and missed people would have been up in arms. No way has he justified taking a penalty in a huge game. Easy to look back now but other than Boyle, nisbet is probably the other penalty taker in the squad. A striker should always be on pens

[SHODAN]

Aberdeen keepers have made an art out of coming off the line at penalties. Joe Lewis was the master of it.

I'd like to think he was desperate to take it. Easy to say with hindsight but someone with desperation feeding every fibre would have buried that right into King Street.

First time I saw it I thought the keeper was off his line though having watched it again I think his foot was on the line tbh .

Why should a striker always be on pens? Ballack, Toure, Pirlo, Lampard, Graham Alexander, Jorginho, Leighton Bains, Fabinho are all well known experts with penalties. Its really nothing to do with what position you play.

Graham Alexander :faf:

Completely forgot he was such an accomplished penalty taker. Certainly not someone you’d have expected it from.

So do i. Keeper saves it fair and square I think.

Could possibly freeze frame it tk show otherwise but it was close enough for him to get the benefit of the doubt IMO.

[Carheenlea]

Given the view from that god-awful away end it was very hard to tell, but the referee did have a bit of a pause while someone was obviously checking on the VAR. View was that bad nobody round us really shouted for a penalty either!

Don't forget our own Joe Davies. A left back who scored dozens of penalties

['mon the beers]

Should we not just score it regardless? Just piss poor excuses

[Ray_]

Many created by Eric Stevenson. Although the miss against Hamburg was in keeping with the match, three disallowed goals as well!

[Hibee Mac]

Should have scored it, but it absolutely should have been retaken he's miles off his line.

Yet another example of VAR being an inconsistent mess

If Nisbet had stuck it away we would have been howling had a retake been called. In all honesty that was a really poorly taken penalty and whether the keeper was off his line makes no difference.

Genuine question, can a retake be given if you score and the keeper is too far off the line?

Not sure I’ve seen that before.

[Carheenlea]

They can’t order a retake if the keeper was off his line and didn’t save the penalty can they?

It was poor but so what, if he was off his line then it should be retaken, so it makes a huge difference. Ask Van Veen at Motherwell.

Or David Marshall, who saved one at Pittodrie earlier in the season only to have to face a retake for stepping off his line.

[wookie70]

Having looked again I think I was a bit hasty. I think their keeper does not have his foot on the line but looking at the laws that is not needed. He just needs to have his foot in line with the line and I think it was.

Perhaps. Not sure that the keeper was getting any advantage though.

I think that is the real frustration for me.

I’m not one for moaning about keepers coming off their line.

But Duk dived for the pen in a first half where imo we were better than them, they then missed the pen and got a retake.

I don’t think what Marshall done that day is that different to what 99% of keepers do every penalty.

We’re not given the benefit of the doubt today.

Annoying.

Marshall was a good bit off his line so VAR got that right. Pity they got the decision to award the pen so wrong in the first place

Yeh, his foot is overhanging the line so it is, unfortunately ok.

Strikers in general are better at finishing and hitting the target than other players. Quite simple logic really. There are other players who can hit a penalty granted but in a huge percentage of cases your forward takes the penalty. I wouldn’t say we have many technical gifted players capable of taking a pen ahead of a striker

[soupy]

Tam McIntyre scored a good few penalty's for Hibs as a centre half.

[Stokesy's on fire]

Aye its a certain retake we have been robbed by var so many times this season. Var has cost is a clear finish in 3rd place

From 12 yards with nothing in the way, any professional can hit the target.

It's about composure and practice, not technical ability imo. Forwards do take penalties, probably because they spend the most time practicing them.

James Milner is another. One of the best takers around. Never been known for his finishing.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

At the end of the day it was a piss poor penalty. Stick it in the corner and its a goal.

[Carheenlea]

I didn’t feel 100% confident for Nisbet to score, but had McKirdy stepped up I’m not sure that confidence would have been any greater.

Would have half expected him to try something radical in the vein of Jason Cummings “panenka” or suchlike.

It was just typical really that after a season of VAR injustices that when we do get one in our favour we waste the opportunity presented to us.

[JohnM1875]

McKirdy should have taken it. It was only a penalty because he didn't score. Sliding doors, thin margins and all that.

Said the same at the time. Get why he didn't though, but wasn't confident at all of Nisbet scoring the pen.

Definitely should have been a re-take. Var checked it as well so **** knows why it wasn't a retake. Oh, that's right, our referees are ****ing useless!

[Keith_M]

TBF, we missed so many opportunities during the game that we have nobody to blame but ourselves.

Jorge Campos as well although technically he was also a striker

Kano had a great technique. Blooter it.

If we look at our squad, as Boyle is missing, nisbet is our best striker of the ball. Could maybe make a case for newell but that’s it. Youans finishing still needs to improve. McKirdy has shown little to suggest it should be him taking it.

That is the rule, as long as 1 foot on the line its OK!
My view is even if the goalkeeper had just stood on his line, he would have saved a very badly taken penalty.
Straight down the middle is always has a risk of hitting the keepers legs!!!

[McD]

yep, the foot can be above the line, as long as it’s not in front

[Northernhibee]

By the laws of the game, should have been a red for the handball denying a goal.

James Ward Prowse strikes a ball as well as anyone, and he’s missed two pens this season. It happens.

German goalie Hans Jorg Butt scored 3 pens in the champions league, all for different teams (Hamburg, Leverkusen and Bayern), and all against Juve.

1. It wasn't a retake unfortunately, my 1st impression was he was off line but was just ok.
2. Great players miss pens, it happens. Messi has missed plenty.
3. I give you Ray Stewart as best defender/pen taker though I remember Shaun Dennis scoring at Pittodrie!
