Question Number: 15682Law 14 - Penalty kick 6/2/2007RE: 2nd division Under 13 Donna crampin of Auckland, New Zealand asks...Today my son shot a penalty which first hit the crossbar came off it and he headed it into the goal. The ref counted it as a goal but the oppostion coach took the field disputed the goal and the decision was reversed. Was it a goal? Answer provided by Referee Gary Voshol A player taking a penalty kick - taking any restart, except a dropped ball - cannot touch the ball again until it is touched by another player. The goal is not a player. So it should not have been a goal.
I hope that after having the disputed goal reversed, the referee took some action against a coach that took the field. No matter what the ref may have screwed up, that doesn't excuse irresponsible behavior.
