Penalty kick

A player who is taking a penalty kick, plays the ball forward for a team-mate to run on to it and he/she scores.

What would the referee do fo a restart, and what sanctions would the referee give to the attacking player(s).

ooo....OOOO...pick me pick me!

Amazingly I actually had this happen to me in a game once. High school provincials it was. Provided that the kick was taken properly and that the attacker did not enter the penalty area until the ball was kicked, then there is nothing wrong with this scenario. Not something I'd make a habit of though. It's a little cheeky.

yes you don't offten see this type of play that much because of the players
having the same advantage as the other team. But I would agree with
Mark with his answers just so long as the ball is played staright across
or either forward and another teamate comes up and plays the ball then
there would be nothing wrong with the play. Laughing

This happened a couple seasons ago in the EPL when Pires and Henry tried to pull it off and failed miserably. The other team was not happy and let Pires know it.
