Fatalist Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 I always understood that players were not allowed to stop during their run up. A slow run (Jet) is fine, but players have been taking more and more liberties. Today, Ayew for Swansea definitely came to a halt a couple of steps from the ball. Is this actually a rule, and if so, how would it be penalised. Retake or disallowed? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhombrecito Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 I did think this too, but doesn't seem to be anything in the laws to specifically prevent the kicker stopping in the run up: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laner Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 I thought the taker had to keep forward momentum. Swansea player doesn't do that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatalist Posted October 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Dean Ashton on Quest queried it as well. You'd think the taker had enough advantage without having to stop as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 Tony Thorpe was always going that, too perfection too. Jet just used to stroll to the spot, casual as you like, coolest taker i ever saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scare_Man Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 I thought the rule was stopping in the run up is ok, just not allowed to stop in the action of striking the ball, ie trying to dummy the keeper at the last second 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 Didn't like some of our players trying to scuff up the penalty spot while their player was being treated. Seen it done before by other teams, memories thinking against England? thought it was wrong and im not changing my mind now our players are doing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet just used to stroll to the spot, casual as you like, coolest taker i ever saw. I always thought there was a very smart technique to JET's penalties that he wasn't given credit for. If you run up that slowly then by the time you're ready to strike the ball the keeper has to have committed to going one way or the other, and you can see which. If the keeper doesn't commit, then you basically just have to hit it low: he'll never get down in time. Cool as **** to actually do it though and great to watch (provided they go in!)

Ronnie Sinclair Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 I remember John Aldridge used to do something similar years ago (didn't they put a stop to it for years because of it?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, Aldridge was an arse when on the pitch. I’m sure he gave our fans two fingers once after converting a penalty like you suggested, for Tranmere. It wasn’t as if we had been giving him stick either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`ve never liked him ever since he ruffled Brian Laws`s hair after he`d put through his own net in the rearranged FA Cup semi after Hillsborough. No need for it and showed what a classless git he is.
