Refereeing decisions are constantly in
the news and this little number from the Womens' European
Championships qualifier in Belfast is a beauty. Have a read of this
Times account and look at the video in the Mirror, and see if you think that because an English player
entered the penalty area before the ENGLISH penalty kick was taken,
that the kick should be re-taken. The English players were seeking to
gain an advantage; even the penalty taker was playing mind games by tying her hair back before her run up!
Why not award an indirect to the
defending team, who were not seeking to gain an advantage? (Well not as much as the English).
If only a defending player stepped into the
box before the kick was taken, clearly seeking to gain an advantage, anticipating rebounds,
then retake it!
