Should stutter penalties be allowed?

I don't mind one stutter or a funny jump/movement (ala old Bruno or Jorginho) being allowed, so long as it's not actually stopping. Adds an extra element and takes some skill and nerve to be able to do it. But anything more starts to get a bit ridiculous and then disadvantages the keeper as everyone is saying.
 
Would be better if they were scrapped completely. Bruno and his jump means he's always moving. When players stop stutter it becomes stupid.
 
Agree with the majority here, it's unfair the taker can do that but the keeper needs to stay on the line. It's also very unenjoyable to watch and I don't even have the feeling it's all that effective.

Conversely, a good penalty taker should know exactly how to strike a static ball from 12 yards without looking like an idiot, but here we are.

No, even when Bruno does it.

Can Bruno's technique even ben considered a stutter though? He just sort of hops at the end of his run up to goad the keeper into moving, while keeping his forward momentum.

My biggest issue with outlawing stutters would be clearly defining what is and isn't allowed.
 
You should be allowed to do any type of movement to take a penalty as long as you use a part of your body that aren't your arms to shoot the ball. Also as long as you shoot within a reasonable time.
 
Since is about 50 50 just replace it with rock paper scissor at least the refs would be consistent that way
 
100% - should just be one consistent run up. Anything that deviates/differs from that should be a retake.
 
Once the run up is started it shouldn’t be allowed to stop.

The kicker could still manipulate within that rule somewhat with a slower/faster final stride.

But Lewandowski was taking the piss yesterday.

All goalkeepers including exceptionally good ones are either late or generally anticipate a shot because none of them actually know when to move. Goalkeepers are at a massive disadavantadge when it comes to penalties and this rule just enhances it for no good reason.

Well there's a reason it's called a penalty. It's an action taken because someone in the defense fecked up. You have to keep in mind what led up to it. The defense in most cases prevented someone from scoring so they get a chance to score the goal they probably would have already if someone didn't foul them in the box.

Okay following that logic, just give a goal. There is no need to pretend with rules that are senseless.

Also in most cases penalties don't actually prevent anyone from scoring a goal, it's soft fouls at the edge of the box when the ball carrier is nowhere near scoring.
 
What a sham of a penalty that was. I'm not versed in the UEAF rulesbook but if that is allowed it should be revised.
 
Sometimes stuttering can cause the keeper to dive early which then gives you an advantage.
 
I’d change the rules entirely so that as soon as the ref blows the whistle, the keeper is allowed to leave the goal-line. That’d stop the penalty taker fannying about.

To be fair him, those are harder than they look. I've tried and can't quite replicate it.
 
If it’s allowed, the keeper should be allowed to come off his line the second the striker starts their run-up.
 
Just seen it and I had to laugh honestly watching it. Looks ridiculous and it is ridiculous. He didn't deserve to be able to take that again. He missed it by clowning around. Change the rule or allow goalie to move off the line once the player has initiated his run.
 
Meh, direct dummy is banned already.

The Jorginho technique and stutter run up has largely been found out already.
 
They should ban it. It’s just a way of tricking the keeper into moving early which means if you cock it up and he saves it there’s still a great chance you’ll get a retake because you’ve conned him
into moving early.
 
If they are allowed, you should be able to punch the player in the face. That'd be compensation.
 
I don't like it, but it would be very difficult for officials to police any limitations imposed on the striker.
It would be fun to see a field hockey style rule that allows the goalkeeper to rush the penalty taker the minute the whistle goes, although that would probably lead to more chaos!

Personally, I am ok with movement off the line as soon as the player starts his run up. It's unnatural to tell a goalie he cannot cut down an angle and that penalty there illustrates that the rule can be abused.

A penalty is already heavily slanted against the gk. I am not sure this kind of ridiculous penalty actually works in the taker's favour but it does invite more retakes, in effect rewarding dumb behavior.
 
My understanding was that you could stutter as long as it was continuous movement, but that’s obviously not true because Lewandowski stood still for about 25 minutes.
 
It looked to me like Lewa came to a complete stop, then continued. Do that and you should forfeit your shot. Problem sorted.
 
Hell no.
Dude was waiting for a bus 3 times during his penalty.
Shambles.
Need Christina to explain this one.
 
I would be interested to see actual stats on the success rate. If it's indeed ineffective and there's no significant discrepancy, I don't see any reason why it should be banned, regardless of how annoying it looks.

Not a fan of it for regular penalty, but I would really like this for penalty shootout, reduce the 'lottery' aspect and increase the level of skill required to win.
