nester Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I was wondering about this: If a penalty has to be re-taken can the team change the penalty taker at that point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betelgeuse Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Last season my team had a pen in a cup match and missed but had to be retaken and another player scored. The other team went mental but the ref allowed it! It was only sunday footy though so i'm not sure if its in the rules?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BITW Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I think the answer is yes. I seem to remember when Alex Russel had his pen saved against Oldham but it had to be re-taken, and GJ made a point of how he was brave enough to take the re-take. Not 100% sure though.

Redland Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Yes. If the penalty has to be retaken it's because the first one was invalid so you start again. The same applies to free kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider hoss rules Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 didn't it happen in a Millwall game last season, keeper saved twice but encroached, so the third time a different player took it and scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eamer Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 As long as you let the referee know of the change then it's fine I believe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Millwall v Peterborough. Joe Lewis saved twice from Gary Alexander, then Dave Martin scored at the third attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aa_bcfc Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 About 1966. White Hart Lane. Score was Spurs 1 City 0. City playing superbly and awarded a penalty. Previously reliable penalty taker right back Tony Ford stepped up but missed. Ref ordered kick to be retaken. Up stepped 'golden boy' new signing Chris Crowe to smash it in but unfortunately smashed it well wide. Jimmy Greaves showed how it should be dome by scoring a penalty late on. Finished Spurs 2 City 0. I suppose the rule is now the same as it was then, that you can change the taker. Anyone else remember the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man In Black Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Nothing specific about it in the laws of the game. Just that the kicker has to be properly identified, and that the referee decided when the penalty kick process has been completed. Any infringements (e.g. a member of the defending team entering the penalty area before the ball is kicked) cause the process to be 'restarted' from the beginning, so a team could easily nominate a new penalty taker at this point.
