A penalty in rugby union is the main disciplinary sanction available to the referee to penalise a team who commit deliberate infringements. The team who did not commit the infringement are given possession of the ball and they may either kick it towards touch (in which case the ball back rule is waived), attempt a place kick at goal, or tap the ball with their foot and run. It is also sometimes used as shorthand for penalty goal.
The referee signals that he has awarded a penalty to a side by raising his arm at 45 degrees between vertical and horizontal and blowing a blast on his whistle. The arm is raised on the side that won the penalty. Penalties may be awarded for a number of offences, including:
A penalty kick (often abbreviated to penalty) is a method of restarting play in association football, taken from 11 meters (approximately 12 yards) out from the goal, on the penalty mark.
Penalty kicks are performed during normal play. They are awarded when a foul that is punishable by a direct free kick is committed within the offending player's own penalty area. Similar kicks are made in a penalty shootout in some tournaments to determine which team is victorious after a drawn match; though similar in procedure, these are not penalty kicks and are governed by slightly different rules.
In practice, penalties are converted to goals more often than not, even against world class goalkeepers. This means that penalty awards are often decisive, especially in low-scoring games. Missed penalty kicks are often demoralising to players because it is an easy opportunity to score.
What's inside my state of mind, can you deal with reality?
Who pays the price for hating, who decides our final fate?
Can you reall trust the government, can you really believe the truth?
Will you die for what you believe or will you suffer like a fool?
Sacrifice, penalty
You gave your life
And paid the price of hate
Is there anyone you can count on when it's time to do things right?
Or are these people just fucking maggots sucking you for all your life?
Who looks out for our best interests, who cares about their fellow man?
Or are we all just fucking animals fucking each other anytime we can?
Who's gonna beg for mercy
When the time to fight back comes
Get down on bended knee and pray
