Shame their are no answers. Wasn't sure about the penalty ones. I always thought a player couldn't hit a rebound from the post or cross bar if he was the initial taker.

He can't but a team mate can. The answer to that one was not allowed to head it.

Whyever can't you head a penalty, if you really want to?

a) it is not playing within the spirit of the laws of the game.

b) it may be construed as dangerous play (to the taker)

c) its called a penalty kick

d) You'd have no chance of scoring, even with me in goal.

Ah, so it's just a question of terminology, is it?

I don't see why it could be considered foul play.

And it would be a hell of a goal if it went in.

the attempt alone would be hilarious, I'm imagining a run up and then a klinsman-esque dive at the ball...

I got 4 then 7. Totally ashamed, although second time round I read the questions and answers far more carefully than first time.
