CumbrianRam Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Place to post general carelessness in football The Way This HS Goalkeeper Loses State Soccer Championship Is The Worst You gotta feel for the kid. Irmo High School was playing Lexington in South Carolina's 4A high school state championship, and after two overtime periods, the game went to penalties. In the last round of penalty kicks, the score was 3-3. Irmo's Mattison Gossett lined up to take the final penalty kick. If he scored, Irmo would win. If he missed, penalty kicks would go to sudden death. Gossett struck a hard shot to the left, but Lexington keeper Jacob Parton guessed correctly, got down, and parried the ball. Parton looked to get both gloves on the ball, and he jumped in the air immediately to celebrate the clutch stop. Meanwhile, the ball landed on the ground, bounced, and spun into the goal for the game-winning penalty. Irmo won the state championship in penalties, 4-3, and Lexington went home with nothing. Parton will probably have nightmares about this for the rest of his life. We feel for you, kid. ...Sucks. http://deadspin.com/the-way-this-hs-goalkeeper-loses-state-soccer-champions-509210151 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Should that have been given? In a penalty shoot out once the ball moves away from the goal, it is dead. Sorry, you are incorrect. Nowhere in the laws of the game (regarding free kicks or penalties) does the direction of travel get any mention at all. Law 14 says, 'When a penalty kick is taken during the normal course of play, or time has been extended at half-time or full time to allow a penalty kick to be taken or retaken, a goal is awarded if, before passing between the goalposts and under the crossbar: the ball touches either or both of the goalposts and/or the crossbar and/or the goalkeeper. The referee decides when a penalty kick has been completed.' There is further clarification regarding what happens in 'added time' - which is clearly the case regarding a penalty shootout. (7-1-4 Exception). (a) only the kicker may play the ball and he/she may only play the ball once; (b ) the ball is in play until its momentum is spent, it goes out of bounds, or is retouched by the kicker.
