I played hockey to a decent level and it has the "advantage" rule and I know every umpire I ever spoke to said it's a grey area. Where does the advantage stop? If a player is tripped by a keeper but rounds the keeper (who lies prone on the ground and no longer influences play) and has more than enough time to right himself (say it was a long ball and he was the only one within 20 yards of the net, no off sides in hockey) but he then inexplicably misses from 5 yards, do you award a penalty or is that his own fault for being a squinty bastard.
I was trying to get at the same using the Torres example. If he is fouled but gets up and then ****s the chance under no pressure, does he still get the penalty? I'm guessing you say 'yes'. I suppose to an extent that removes inconsistencies between what refs deem to have been sufficient time to recover or the degree to which the foul would have put him off.
