Carl Sagan Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 It's currently the women's U19 European qualifiers. England ladies were losing 2-1 to Norway the other night when England were awarded a penalty in injury time. Leah Williamson scored the spotkick but the German referee said that one or more players were encroaching in the area. Instead of saying the kick should be retaken, the ref gave an indirect freekick to Norway, play resumed and England lost the game.UEFA have ordered the game be replayed from the penalty kick onwards, due to the refereeing error.http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/9796227/england-women-u19-to-replay-final-30-seconds-of-european-qualifier-after-referee-mistakeIt's an amazing precedent. Part of me cannot fathom how a referee could get such a standard decision so wrong, yet when I think back to this season and the many terrible decisions I've seen, it doesn't surprise me. Officiating at all levels appears shockingly bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 What about appeals after good goals are ruled out for offside (or awarded even if they clearly went wide), even penalties given/not given in error?.Presumably the limiting factor is that in this case the rules were not correctly applied, rather than the rules being correctly applied to an incorrect decision by the ref. Could still get interesting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombo Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 England to score the penalty but then concede again, lose 3-2. That's just our luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loughboroughRAM Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 what i find most confusing is how, in the 96th minute (when they penalty was awarded/taken) there were only 18 seconds left?!?! or am i just being really thick here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashz09 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 The restart starts with a penalty.Thank god logic applies here. People were making it sound like no penalty just the time left which i didn't see the point. Glad there through even sweeter vs ze germans.

Spanish Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Great for England but this just sets a strange precedent. so when can you appeal for a restart? if the ref made a mistake? If a mistake occurred in stoppage time? Can't see a single game finishing on the day it starts from now on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stive Pesley Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I guess if the ref makes a procedural error, rather than an error of judgementBut then we've seen a few of those - eg foul throws where the ref has made them retake instead of giving the throw the other way. Which would be a nonsense to replay a game overSo then it would be down to procedural errors that deny a goal-scoring opportunitybut what if that happens in the 5th minute, not the 95th minute. Do you replay the whole game?What if it's already 5-0 to the other team?In which case the precedent would be procedural errors that deny a goal-scoring opportunity in injury time where the result would make a difference to the outcome of the game?Stick that in your rule book FIFA!

If a mistake occurred in stoppage time? Can't see a single game finishing on the day it starts from now on The precedent was actually set in 2005. Uzbekistan were leading Bahrain 1-0 when they were awarded a penalty. Uzbekistan were then awarded a penalty which was converted, but the referee disallowed it and awarded a free kick to Bahrain. The match finished 1-0. FIFA ordered the entire match to be replayed (Uzbekistan objected, but eventually suggested that the last 60 minutes be replayed with them having a 1-0 lead and the restart to be with a penalty, but this was turned down by FIFA) - and the second time around, the match finished 1-1 and Bahrain, to the delight of FIFA and their money-oriented organisation, qualified for the next round, edging out Uzbekistan on away goals.
