My daughter plays for woodcoombe girls under 13's, today they played in the cup final against the league winners.
Game was 1-1 after extra time then went to penalties, they scored then we scored, the next 3 each were missed/saved. They scored their 5th and the girl on my daughters team took our fifth it hit the crossbar...their goal keeper ran out to the team all celebrating... Meanwhile... The ball curved in under the crossbar and hit the back of the net.
We all screamed at the ref that the ball was in the goal the linesman ran over to the ref pointing at the goal the other Lino joined them followed by both managers arguing we wanted sudden death the ref ruled result stands, just because the manager for the other team was a bit more intimidating leaving our girls devastated.
We all feel cheated that penalty should have stood and what a
@&£& that manager was squirting champagne all over the place before our girls had even cleared the pitch. :-(

Thanks for agreeing with me guys, the most upsetting thing was seeing that poor little 12 year old girl who played her heart out, crying her eyes out over missing a penalty she didn't even really miss. It's hard enough for grown men, luckily for us my daughter didn't take one so I have an angry child rather than that her poor teammate is.
And we didn't win and my boy was head butted by a kid with an eating issue
If you think your angry right now I am still raging
has the eating issue anything to do with his behaviour ? Or just indicating he was a fat git , did he get sent off ?
Mate his dad found it quite funny at first but didn't after
But that was away from the boys
No mate ref didn't see it , it did affect the game as the boys although trying to tough it out lost their snap in the tackle
My lad didn't respond to well fortunately his skipper was their to grab him after he chased after the offender
Next season will be fun in this fixture
randy andy I don't think that's right , only cos the ball can hit bar bounce out and spin back in ...
And I'm sure I've seen a pen hit post and keeper and go in and count
I'll try and find youtube pen I was talking about above
Former referee and Sportsmail columnist Graham Poll explained when a penalty in a shoot-out becomes 'dead'.
He said: 'It's when the ball's natural movement has ended. A player cannot deliberately play the ball but the keeper might inadvertently.'

Your gals will be all the stronger as people and hey it's only a game and nobody died but your girls will have had a life experience that will serve them well! )
The other team got so irritated during the game that the ref bought their coach on to tell them to calm down. Two of them subsequently got booked.
Terrible behaviour for kids of that age. I blame
