Referee needed

I was debating the Charlton penalty miss. Once a penalty is given, are you allowed to make a substitution, such that the sub takes the spot kick.

Slightly more obscure.....in a penalty shoot out, the goalkeeper breaks his hand stopping a penalty. Can the substitute keeper be used assuming that the requisite number of subs has not been used?

There must be a ref out there!

    The answer to the first question is yes as between the offence and the kick being taken is considered a stoppage in play.

    Part two Not sure! Thinking about it though I can't see why not?
  • Spankie is more qualified than me

    With the 2nd one I would imagine an outfield player would have to go in goal as you can only use the players that ended the match in a penalty shoot out.

    spankie - am i right there - never come across it - bloody good q

    Yes you're right there Ledge, I stand corrected. You can indeed only use players that completed the game in the penalty shoot-out.
  • And what if all of the replacement goalkeepers broke their hands? Presumably, the referee would have to abandon the game.
