"When the ball is kicked" means GK have to wait until the kicker touch the ball.
He clearly off the line before the ball is kicked.The defending goalkeeper must remain on the goal line, facing the kicker, between the goalposts, without touching the goalposts, crossbar or goal net, until the ball has been kicked.
Isn’t it just one foot that has to be on the line when the ball is struck? That seems to be what harms has quoted from the FA?"When the ball is kicked" means GK have to wait until the kicker touch the ball.

That just sums the guy up. Disallowed goal and missed penalty after a really difficult couple of weeks. Yet, when the pressure was on, he was the one to score the crucial goal.Everything has to have an end - so I'm delighted that Bruno's perfect record was broken on the night when he redeemed himself by scoring a beauty and guided us to a crucial win. Let's move on!
But he wasn't off his lineI hope we're gunna write to the FA and ask them to explain why the pen didn't need to be retaken because the keeper was off his line.
Why would we? He only needs to have one foot on or behind the line, which he did. The one that was retaken against us was because De Gea had both feet in front.I hope we're gunna write to the FA and ask them to explain why the pen didn't need to be retaken because the keeper was off his line.

I've never seen conclusive evidence that De Gea had both feet completely off his line.Why would we? He only needs to have one foot on or behind the line, which he did. The one that was retaken against us was because De Gea had both feet in front.
Google De Gea encroachment and you’ll see an image from behind that proves it.I've never seen conclusive evidence that De Gea had both feet completely off his line.
His first miss since 2016Missed one penalty in how many? I couldn’t care if he hop, skipped, jump and did a backflip. If he puts it in the net who actually cares?
He’s not though he only needs to have one foot on the line which he had. End of discussion"When the ball is kicked" means GK have to wait until the kicker touch the ball.

Fernandes has taken 33 penalties during his professional career. The midfielder has scored 30 of them, giving him a success rate of 91 per centERIC CANTONA - 14 out of 16 (87.5%)
CRISTIANO RONALDO - 11 out of 13 (84.6%)
RUUD VAN NISTELROOY - 18 out of 22 (81.8%)
DENIS IRWIN - 7 out of 9 (77.8%)
ROBIN VAN PERSIE - 6 out of 8 (75%)
WAYNE ROONEY - 20 out of 28 (71.4%)
Bruno has scored 10 out of 11 which is a conversion rate of 91% better than all of the above currently
Long may it continue
This thread was bumped with a criticism towards the thread’s premise, not towards Bruno.this thread being bumped.
It's like making a 'I don't like Ferguson as a Premier league manager' thread then revisiting it when he doesn't win a league.
He's scored 19 from 20.
Ah, fair enoughThis thread was bumped with a criticism towards the thread’s premise, not towards Bruno.
31-3 now. Never in doubt.According to Transfermarkt, which includes high profile youth games, Bruno has scored 30 and missed 3 penalties, at a 90.9% conversion rate. Weirdly, there's a lot of people saying he last missed in 2016, but he actually missed one in October 2018 in the Portuguese Cup.
Rashford is our second most reliable taker at 13-2 for an 86.7% conversion rate
Yup, He's been brilliant from the penalty spot for us, unbelievably good really. Cheating keepers finally being put in their placeWho cares; Bruno scores
Yeah that's the entire point of it. But it's not really to take advantage of a re-take - he's just trying to get the keeper to commit before he hits the ball.Strange thought but does the little hop Bruno does, sometimes make the keeper go a split-second before he shoots? (Making VAR more likely)
Must be a bit annoying for a goalkeeper, that you need to hold yourself back a tad bit, because of the hop. If he scores, there's no VAR, so is this the way of taking penalties in the future? Quick run up, hop, shoot with speed.

Not if he misses another and Telles steps up. Telles seems to be much cleaner in his penalty hits (from admittedly his youtube videos).He's going to get in double digits in goals for us this season from penalties alone.
Telles’ record is comfortably worse. If Bruno suffers a drop in confidence, it will likely be Rashford next.Not if he misses another and Telles steps up. Telles seems to be much cleaner in his penalty hits (from admittedly his youtube videos).
Telles has missed more penalties in his career than Bruno has despite taking lesser attempts.Not if he misses another and Telles steps up. Telles seems to be much cleaner in his penalty hits (from admittedly his youtube videos).
Surely that shows keepers have to cheat to save them?Bruno is now 32-3, yet his last three pens have been:
Miss
Goal, after miss retaken

I think I’d like Rashford to have the next. Bruno’s confidence strangely seems to be gone.
