There are some bizarre football rules that you might not be familiar with
When a penalty is awarded during normal time, the player taking the penalty cannot touch the ball to score a rebound if the original effort hits the post.
The ball must be touched by either the keeper, an opposition or a teammate before the taker can attempt to score the rebound.Whilst we have seen players getting sent off after the final whistle, the rules state that players can be red carded prior to the match.“If a player is sent-off before the team list has been submitted to the referee, he cannot be on the team in any capacity for that match. Though a replacement player can be brought in from the reserves if the team has any.
“If a player who has been named on the team list submitted to the referee is sent-off before the match he can be substituted by a player from the bench if he was in the playing 11 and the substituted player cannot be replaced. If the sent-off player is not in the playing eleven, then the team simply has to play the match with one less substitute on the bench. Though the number of substitutions the team can make remains the same.
