You Are The Ref....here's The Scenario

[Lynn_M]

It's reds verses whites and reds win a penalty in the 90th minute. The referee looks at his watch, and by the time someone gathers the ball, the 90 minutes are up; there's no injury time and the defender in white appeals that the game is over, but the referee tells him:

"No it isn't son, the rules clearly state that I can add time on for a penalty to be taken."

The defender sulkily walks away and the centre forward in red picks up the ball and places it on the spot. The referee then blows his whistle and the striker takes his run-up and hits the ball hard. But the goalkeeper is alert, dives to his left and palms it back towards the six yard line, only for the red shirted marksman to run forward and smash the ball home

But is it a goal? The team in white appeal that the game was out of time when the goalkeeper made his save

Goal

Goal, the team in red get Fergie-time ;-)

I think that the referee can allow extra time for the penalty to be taken, but that once it's been saved, it's deemed to be dead and the game's over.

Law 13 of the Football Rules clearly explains your question. Time can be allowed at both half time and full time for the penalty to be taken.

I spent many years refereeing football.

When a penalty kick is taken during time added on specifically for it to take place, a goal can only be awarded when it is scored directly from that kick.

Law 14 makes it clear that, in this context, a deflection off the goalkeeper and/or post (or crossbar) does not stop a goal being awarded (as the ball still crossed the goal line as a direct result of the penalty-taker's kick).

However the intervention of any other player (or of the penalty-taker 'following up') means that the ball hasn't crossed the line as a direct result of the penalty being taken and therefore no goal can be awarded (as the match automatically ended as soon as the keeper had completed the save).

NO GOAL!!!

Good goal.
If the referee has already indicated that time will be added on to take the penalty, then the rebound is still part of play. Assuming the ball is saved, the play is not over until the ball goes out of play or the attack is over.

Get out a box of tissues for these over paid pratts, after reading Steve Gerrard comment in the Mirror Sunday, England Squad complaining they had to walk 50yds for their sauna, pillocks.

[Gromit]

After reading Buenchico's reply I went and checked, and now I am not too sure either way. Probably not a goal. However, there is some ambiguity.

Buenchico is correct.

Anyway, it's very unlikely the problem would arise. It's unlikely the players would know that "the 90 minutes was up and there was no injury time". In the upper tiers of football there is almost always a minimum of 1 minute added on for stoppages and even then the finaal decision as to when the time is up is the ref's decision. And in lower tiers of football the ref will usually stop his/her watch at some point and add 30+ seconds on for stoppages.
In practice referees wait until the ball is ina fairly safe are before blowing the whistle (the exception I can remember was when Clive Thomas blew the whistle just as the shot was going into the goals).
If I was referring for this penalty I would make it clear to all the players that either there was only time for the first shot (and no rebounds) or, more likely, I would have fudged it and said something "like 30 seconds left"

No goal. Buenchico is bob on. Accompanied by a forensic reasoning again.

The referee is supposed to tell the players that they are in extended time and not in normal play or added on time. Extended time is when the 45/90 minutes (and any added time) is finished. So if a penalty is awarded in the final seconds of a match, the referee will go to extended play for see the penalty taken. The kick literally is the last touch, as rebounds are not allowed.

[fiction-factory]

Sorry Gromit, I don't understand what your issue is with my answer. The referee is in charge of the watch and there isn't a large countdown then siren as the final seconds tick away. It's up to the ref to blow the whistle and whether to communicate info on how much time is left. As I said, if it was close to the end I would tell the players how long is left before the kick is taken and, if it were seconds only, make it clear if there would be no time for follow-ups if the shot is saved.

No goal.
