The Ten Pre-War
Penalty-Kicks Missed against England
|
- "If any player shall intentionally trip put on hold an opposing player, or
deliberately handle the ball within twelve yards from his own goal-line, the
referee shall, on appeal, award the opposing side a penalty kick, to
be taken from any point twelve yards from the goal-line, under the
following conditions:-All players, with the exception of the player
taking the penalty kick and the opposing goal-keeper (who shall not
advance more than six yards from the goal-line) shall stand
at least six yards behind the ball. The ball shall be in
play when the kick is taken, and a goal may be scored from the
penalty kick." - 2 June 1891, Glasgow
|
|
1 |
1891-92 |
5 March 1892, 2-0 vs. Ireland,
Cliftonville Gardens, Belfast.
Towards the close of the match, a penalty kick
was given against Alf Underwood for tripping Torrans
'inside the foul line'. 22 year-old
Sam Torrans'
kick proved abortive as
Bill
Rowley (aged 26 years 176 days)
saved it 'in most brilliant fashion' and
a 'hot return by Dalton' was also
saved, conceding a corner. |
|
- "but the ball shall not be again
played by the kicker until it has been played by another player. If
necessary, time of play shall be extended to admit of the penalty kick
being taken."
- 13 June 1892, Llandudno

1896-97 |
20 February 1897, 6-0 vs. Ireland,
Trentbridge Cricket Ground, Nottingham.
26 year-old Bob Milne,
around the eightieth minute, missed his penalty kick against the debuting
Jack Robinson
(26 yrs 304 dys),
after Bill Williams had fouled John Darling
'within the twelve yards line'. Milne's kick
went wide. 'Robinson came out of his goal,
and Milne, somewhat agitated by the onerous duty conferred upon him,
sent the ball slowly into touch yards away from [right of] the goal.' |
|
3 |
1898-99 |
18 February 1899, 13-2 vs. Ireland,
Roker Park Ground, Sunderland.
24 year-old debutant Jack
Waring
probably took the kick, not
Joe McAllen. Two graphic descriptions from Irish newspapers state it was
Waring, against the debuting
Jack Hillman (aged 28 years 80
days), after about 65 minutes. 'The
referee granted a penalty kick, and Hillman came out to meet the ball.
Waring shot hard, and Hillman kicking the ball, it swerved round to the
left and was going outside, when McAllen made a sudden rush, caught the
ball within a yard of the line and sent it into the net.' Another
states 'the referee awarded a penalty
kick. This was taken by Waring, who kicked straight for goal. Hillman
managed to kick the ball out, but it swerved off his foot and M'Allen rushing up, scored'.
Jimmy Crabtree had committed
the foul on Jack Watty that led to the penalty kick. |

-
"A
suitable mark shall be made opposite each goal-post, 18 yards from the
goal-line, to assist the Referee in enforcing the regulations as regards
the penalty kick under Law 14." - 17 June 1901,
Giant's Causeway

1901-02 |
22 March 1902, 1-0 vs. Ireland,
Balmoral Showgrounds, Belfast.
31 year-old Captain
Bob Milne's
second half penalty kick is saved by
Bill
George (27 years 265 days). The kick was awarded after Bob
'Crompton fisting the ball
inside the twelve-yard line'.
'George coming out to the six yards saved a
grand shot.' Thus Milne is the first player to
take two penalty kicks against England, and to also miss twice. |

-
"In
the event of any intentional infringement of Law 10 by the defending
side within the penalty area, the Referee shall award the opponents a
penalty kick which shall be taken from the penalty kick mark under the
following conditions ;—All players, with the exception of the
player taking the penalty kick and the opponents' goal-keeper shall be
outside the penalty area. The opponents' goal-keeper shall be within the
goal area. The ball must be kicked forward. The ball shall be in play
when the kick is taken, and a goal may be scored from a penalty kick ;
but the ball shall not be again played by the kicker until it has been
played by another player. If necessary, time of play shall be extended
to admit of the penalty kick being taken.
A free kick shall also be awarded to the opposite side if the ball is
not kicked forward, or is played a second time by the player who takes
the penalty kick, until it has been played by another player." - 16 June 1902,
Scarborough

1902-03 |
4 April 1903, 1-2 vs. Scotland,
Bramall Lane, Sheffield.
Only a report in The Observer suggests that 22 year-old inside-left
Finlay Speedie's penalty kick is
saved by
Tom Baddeley (28 yrs 155 dys).
What appears to have happened - and why the conclusion is reached, is
that following George Molyneux's foul on Bob Hamilton in the
newly-created penalty area, the referee Nunnerly only awarded a
free-kick outside the area, and it was this that was saved by Baddeley. |

1907-08 |
16 March 1908, 7-1 vs. Wales,
The Racecourse, Wrexham.
33 year-old Captain

Jimmy
Stark low and hard penalty kick was hit straight at
Sam Hardy (26 yrs 230 dys)
'late on'. The penalty was

own line. |

Goodison Park, Liverpool.
22 or 23 year-old
Jackie Coulter took a 57th minute
penalty kick
hit the crossbar of Harry Hibbs' (28 yrs
255 days) goal. The penalty was awarded after Eddie Hapgood
handled the ball and he could have put his side in the lead.
There was a great hesitancy in taking the
kick, as no Irish player wanted to step up and take responsibility. |
