Ref on Bbc tees clarifies the rule

If the ball doesn’t travel a full circumference which is 28inches before striking the ball with his intended foot then it’s not classed as a 2nd strike

OMG

The referees don’t even know the rules!
 
But he struck the ball with his intended foot then it hits his standing foot, what's the rule then?

The ball flies down the centre because it hit his standing foot. He'd sent Krul completely the wrong way. The rule should be that the kick is retaken if you score in such circumstances.

However have to agree with comments elsewhere about people constantly slipping over (mainly Boro players), and it's not the first game.

Not sure about the 28" stuff, the rule is as follows:

The ball is in play when it is kicked and clearly moves.
The kicker must not play the ball again until it has touched another player.
 
There was a Norwich player in the box before the kick was taken.
Surely that would require a re-take to be a priority over awarding Norwich a free kick?
 
As I said in another thread, it wouldn't surprise me if the referee has assumed it was a double-touch based on Tavs' reaction. Tav should have done a Maradona and ran off celebrating.

I suspect the ref blew before he saw Tav's reaction and Tav knew exactly why.
 
Looks pretty clear to me, can see he's trying to put it in the bottom right corner and rebounds off his standing foot.

I can't see that at all from that.

To me, it only looks like he's tried to put it in the bottom corner because he's slipping and his whole body shifts shape after the ball was kicked.
 
The fact the ball loops up in air slightly and the wild swing of his left leg after he kicked it also gives me the feeling he has kicked it twice.
