Second hand story, but even if its no 100% accurate, am sure its happened somewhere, maybe you have even done it
Vital game (not that any game is not important, but lets say its a final, relegation decider etc)
Pk in 6th min added on time, i.e, the last kick of the ball
Story goes on Tues night, a ref said to the kicker "this is the last kick, no rebounds"
Would you?
Good communication?
Being proactive should it indeed rebound and scored and there is you saying games over
Extra pressure on kicker on an already pressure kick?
Yes, absolutely be proactive. Otherwise, what are you going to do if an attacker follows the kick through?
If you don't advise it's the last kick, you can't possible sell disallowing the goal if there's a follow-up.
Disagree. If you read my post, there actually is a reason for defenders to legally follow the ball and save a goal. If you stop them form doing it and a winning goal is scored because of it, in all likelihood the entire game would have to be replayed.
True, but saying no rebounds isn't the same as instructing players not to follow it through.
You're basing your approach on
1) The very unlikely scenario that a defender clears the ball off the goal line when the keeper couldn't, and
2) that the defender who could have done that misinterprets the comment to mean he can't defender.
That all seems to be extremely, extremely unlikely that such a comment is going to have any influence.
Much, much, much more likely that players of both teams follow it in if you don't say anything, and you're faced with the possibility of a foul as players are running in, the 2nd attacker scoring, all sorts of things.
Worth noting, of course, that even if the defender kicks the ball into the goal it's no goal!!
I have been getting $600 annual insurance for my car 10 years in row now, cost me $6000 and I haven't got a single $ back. But you know what I'll get it again next year because if I have an accident with a $50K damage bill, I wont have to pay anything. Doing the right thing at a PK is a little short term pain but it covers your a$$ for that one time (next game or 10 years down the track) when the ball is till on the move after a rebound and you have not wrongly stopped a defender from saving it.
On a separate note, I'll leave this here. Goal or no goal? (ignore the rest of the WTF stuff)
No goal for me. It's stopped, keeper kicks it in.
Having said that, in real time I first thought it was all one movement, which would be goal.
It's the sort of situation where an idiotic player has put you on the spot where you're damned if you do, damned if you don't.
bit closer to home, also a goal ( I dont mean, goal, as in, its given as a goal in the clip), but, a perfectly valid goal in KFTPM
Perfectly valid in an extended time PK too
