Funny Goalkeeper blunder

What an idiot

He lost his head after that save and he'll no doubt have lost it permanently after the game. Funny though

Fail on the keeper. Especially as it was such a gash penalty anyway.

From the comments:

This goal shouldnt have counted. In a penalty shoot out once the ball moves away from the goal, as it did after the keeper saved it, then the penalty is "over". It's the same if the ball comes back off the post for example and hits the goal keeper on the back and goes in. Still funny as hell though!

Can anybody confirm this please (it does sound vaguely logical although rarely enforced)?

Oh dear, wouldn't want to be that guy in the dressing room at the end of the match!

From my understanding only the referee can decide when a penalty kick is over. There is nothing in the rules about the ball travelling back towards the penalty taker as long as there is no outside interference.

That's brilliant! I bet the keeper felt like an absolute clown, that's something Fabianski would do.

The comment's not comparable. A better one would be if the keeper saved it onto the post, and then it bounced in. The goalie's still touched it once, but it's managed to go on into the net.

Well the ball has not gone dead, i.e stops rolling

Its still active from the first kick.

doesnt sound right, my way of thinking was, the taker can only touch the ball once (when he kicks it, no rebounds in a shootout, if its just a normal penalty then yes he can kick it a 2nd time so long as it has either struck the keeper or the woodwork in between) but the keeper can touch it as many times as he wants and the kick is over when the referee decides, which is usually when the ball has either passed the line or been saved. in this case the ball didnt stop moving, so it was like a partial save. you know like when a keeper gets his fingertips to it but still goes in. the keeper should have got up quickly and kicked it away or jumped on it because they are allowed to touch it as many times as its needed in order to stop the kick.

Spot on.

The ball didn't stop moving so it was still "in play" when the keeper got up and celebrated the save.

That's pretty unlucky for the keeper. Funny for the rest of us.

.....

You are spot on as far as penalty shoot outs are concerned. However, this part:

if its just a normal penalty then yes he can kick it a 2nd time so long as it has either struck the keeper or the woodwork in between)

I think is incorrect. If the ball comes off the post without the keeper touching it, the penalty taker may not touch the ball again until another player has.

 

[Weebull]

Aye, according to the laws the kicker can't touch it again until someone else has.
