Well, I have no clue what your talking about, but if you don't see something wrong in what happened you do have some serious mental problems.
What happened? A keeper saved a penalty and the striker scored on the rebound? Yes this is madness, it would never ever happen irl.
This is why we need descriptive comentary particularly paying attention to what we cab't see in 2d. Height of pass, keepers diving, defenders sliding, what body parts players are controling the ball with.
From that series of pictures, we can't tell if the goalie dived and then fell over getting up, ignored it because he thought it'd gone out, stepped in a particularly muddy bit of pitch and got his foot stuck, froze under pressure, simply wasn't paying attention, ad a heart atack and collapsed or what happened.
More likely it's more of the old match engine and 2D graphical representation not quite matching up exactly. GK saves at full stretch, parries, ST comes in and scores. Probably should have happened much faster than that.
I I could put up the whole video I would, but I was certain that it pretty much explained itself.
Baxter lines up the penalty. Shoots, keeper parries without moving. He has turned slightly to his right however. The ball rolls slowly (may I say, very slowly) to his right and comes to a complete stop whilst Baxter and the rest charge at the ball. The goalkeeper [who is completly motionless for the rest of this] has no reaction whatsoever! Baxter scores as FM08 shows just how retarded the match engine can be!
From the description given, My guess would be an injury to the keeper.
What was his condition like immediately before and after after the sequence of play?
Even if he doesn't get a red or green injury, he could have taken a knock.
To lose more than a couple of of percentage points of condition at a time would be very rare for a keeper.
Can you look to see if the event has affected his condition in any way.
Also, if his condition seems to be goin up, then I find that sometimes happens when a player has picked up a knock, but is running off the injury to a point were he is fitter than before e got it.

Even if goalie is on the ground such goal is irreguler, becaufe the striker touched the ball 2-times in row without any other players touched it.
Surely that's not the case, that would mean if the taker hit the post and it rebounded right back to him he couldn't touch it and would have to wait for one of his players to run over and kick it. </BLOCKQUOTE>
Its one of the daft rules of football that , if you take a penalty, corner or free kick and hit the woodwork, if it touches no other player and comes back to you, its an in-direct free kick against you.
Simply put, the keeper was not injured (in fact he would go on to have the game of his life), the only thing that happened is that the keeper made the save and stood still.
