If players can touch the ball more than once when taking a pen you can try all sorts of nonsense.

Surely the only argument people can have is that if it is an accident they can retake but that opens so many issues as it would need to be applied to everything including freekicks, goal kicks and allows people to game the system

Exactly. I don’t buy the “accident” argument either. The skill of penalties is executing a relatively simple skill under extreme pressure. If you fuck up, that’s your fault. No one thinks Terry should’ve been able to retake that CL final pen because he slipped over do they?

it's no different to the turf going under someone's standing foot and them skying it exactly
it's just a missed penalty

The penalty in question was clearly a slip so you not 'buying' the accident argument is irrelevant. The total inflexibility you are demonstrating is no different to awarding a penalty for every touch of the ball with the hand regardless of circumstance.

Would they have used data from the ball, it has a deeley in it to detect when it's struck for the automated offside thing doesn't it?
