Question Number: 13252

Kicks From The Penalty mark 7/1/2006

RE: rec Under 19

Alex of phila, pennsylvania usa asks...

Is it possible to get penalty kick for foul outside penalty box

Answer provided by Referee Richard Dawson

Hi Alex ,
it is impossible, under the laws of the game for a Pk to be awarded outside the penalty area.
ONLY one of the ten penal fouls occuring INSIDE the offending player's penalty area will cause the ball to be spotted on the magic 12 yard spot for the PK. To do otherwise is a protestable situation! Cheers

As Ref Dawson says impossible under the Law, but there are always those referee wannabees that will make something like that up to satisfy their need to be "fair".

Regards,
