question for ed001- what's the rules with hitting penalties.

if a player misses a pen they can score the rebound, so if a player 'scuffed' the ball on purpose could they then run onto it and technically dribble the ball into the net?

just curious after the Barcelona pen.

{Ed001's Note - you know I do not have any idea about that. I think, from when a double hit penalty has been taken, that someone else has to touch it before he can take a second touch, but I stand to be corrected if I am wrong.}

I think another player has to touch it beforehand.

what about if it hits the post then? surely the player would be allowed to burry the rebound.

{Ed002's Note - No.}

On no dead ball situation eg corner, free kick, penalty or goal kick can the same player kick the ball a second time if no other player has touched the ball.

And in a shoot out once the balls forward momentum stops then it is dead.

After the players have taken positions in accordance with this Law, the referee signals for the penalty kick to be taken
The player taking the penalty kick must kick the ball forward
He must not play the ball again until it has touched another player
The ball is in play when it is kicked and moves forward
When a penalty kick is taken during the normal course of play, or time has been extended at half-time or full time to allow a penalty kick to be taken or retaken, a goal is awarded if, before passing between the goalposts and under the crossbar:

the ball touches either or both of the goalposts and/ or the crossbar and/ or the goalkeeper
The referee decides when a penalty kick is complete.

So, i think, the taker can only strike the ball again once touched by the keeper, if the keeper saves and it rebounds back into play it's a free for all. Not sure what happens if it comes just off post or crossbar, or keeper tips it over or wide.
