Double penalty

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

The penalty is given to reinstate the goalscoring opportunity that has been illegally denied, the sending off is for cheating in the first place.

If a player is sent off for a challenge outside the area, and a goal is scored from the resulting free kick, then that is the same outcome yet never ever challenged as being a 'double penalty.'

Don't forget about Uruguay's "suaresc" antics in the WC.

Forget about that, Phil Neville did it against Liverpool for us a few years back. It happens, but right now, if someone is willing to do it, they better be willing to pay the price (as both Suarez and Pip were).

Silly question, interesting discussion! Suarez and nev certainly spring to mind, it's a somewhat common thing to do, sacrificing oneself for the team.

Interesting "exception" to the rule; Rodwell's first goal, against Villa in the cup last year. The ball was definetly heading for goal, hitting Petrov on the hand in what looked a near-deliberate handball but still, if noticed entirely (not sure if the ref saw it at all), is an obvious red card. From the following deflection off Petrov's hand, Rodwell scores. Goal credited, no red card, lucky Villa captain.

I started loving Phil Neville precisely at the moment.

I'm a sucker for self sacrifice, must be the religious bit in me.

I meant, that's the perfect good explanation for the pen and the red card.
