At the Celtic v Rangers game yesterday, it went to KFTPM after it ended 2-2 AET. Rangers win the toss and therefore Celtic were to take penalties second. In sudden death, Rogic steps up to take the PK but as he puts his foot down beside the ball before he kicks it (see pictures) the spot seams to rise, which seems to have caused him to miss kick it.
(Background - Hampden Park has been relayed multiple times since the Comminwealth Games and was only relayed in the last week or so, just before 2 national cup semi finals).
Anyway, as a referee, if you notice the pitch rise during a penalty or FK, what (if anything) is your decision?
Similarly, like in the Paul Robinson case, what is your decision (if anything) if the ball bobbles on an obvious hole or divot on the pitch you didn't notice pre-match?
