For those who can’t see the double touch..

Was it yourself who said you didn’t get into football until later in life or am I confusing you with another poster?

It was me, but that's irrelevant to my point that I can imagine plenty of footballers might not realise it means it's a free kick to the other team.

You see plenty of players baffled by backpasses being penalised, and that's a much more common occurrence.
 
Nope, he miss-hits it as he slips (causing the odd loop) but his "standing" foot makes no contact with the ball.

Is the ref related to the Allardyce family?

I’m not sure what you’re referring to?

Are you referring to when the keeper picks a back pass up? Are you saying you think some players aren’t aware of the back pass rule?
 
I remember David Armstrong taking a pen at AP and the ball hot the foot of the post and bounced straight back to him. To most peoples surprise he let the ball go. Not many if any in the crown understood why.
But it would have counted as a double hit.

A prize to anyone who knew if the rebound was scored and if it was who scored it.
I really cant remember
But it was on Shoot cos KW explained the rule

Yes, I've seen it happen multiple times.
It happened at one of Boro's home match 3-4 years ago, their player passed it to their keeper, he picked it up, and they were both remonstrating when the ref gave us an indirect free kick.
It's not often, but it definitely happens.

Though I suppose they may have been arguing that it hit off their shin, not foot.

A better example would be players not understanding the offside rule.

But my point is that a double-touch is such a rare occurrence that I wouldn't be surprised if there's the odd player that isn't fully aware of the consequences of it.

Every professional footballer knows the back pass rule mate. I’m not sure what incident you are referring to but they will have been claiming that it wasn’t deliberate.

Most if any?
I doubt that. Its a basic law I'm sure most fans know. Its even in subutteo.
 
I will admit I clearly didn't know the law. I was expecting a retake. That's what I thought would have happened with Bolo.

I'm 16 years in the wrong😂

BoroBen, have I got this right? You think:
1. Professional footballers don't know the backpass rule
2. Professional footballers think they can kick the ball twice when taking a penalty. Or maybe they know they can't but think they'll get a second chance if they get caught.

No.
I think almost every single professional footballer will be fully aware of the backpass rule, but I've seen with my own eyes players baffled when punished for it.
You might argue that they were baffled because they didn't think it was a backpass, but there's still confusion.

I am arguing that some players might be unaware that a penalty penalised for an immediate double touch from a slip on the spot results in a free-kick to the other team though, rather than a retake, as it's such a rare occurrence.

There no almost about it! They will all know the rule.

I’d doubt if any don’t know that a double touch penalty doesn’t mean they are allowed to take it again. Would you think a player would be allowed to do it on a free kick? If a player takes a foul throw, do you think they are expect to be given another go.

I was getting blown up for foul throws as a 10 year old.

I think you may be overlooking the fact that professional footballers will have played about 1000 games of football before they turn pro at 18 etc. And they probably watched a similar amount aswell

There are still people who don't know you can't be offside from a goal kick. True story bro.

Someone posted a thread the other day saying they couldn’t believe that a Blackburn chance hadn’t been flagged for offside and that the commentators hadn’t picked up on it. When it was pointed out that the player who was passed to was behind the ball he covered his tracks by saying ‘oh yeah, it was tight though’, I think some posters even said that because the ball was played forward it was offside

How many times in those 1000 games will a player slip and kick the ball twice from the spot, score and then be penalised?


This is the first time it's happened in any of our games in 16 years afaik, with 700 odd games in that time.
It wasn't penalised 16 years ago, and I'm not sure when it had happened before that.
As far as I know it's never happened in any of our youth games in that time either, or at least I've not seen it mentioned in any of the match reports for the youth matches.
 
In fact, before today, the only incident I can remember where the goal has been disallowed was Mahrez for Leicester.

A quick Google and the majority of results are goals give that should have been disallowed.
