Speaking of penalties, when did it become legal for them to start stop start stop in their run ups?

I feel like this stupid motion of trying to psych out the goal keeper is actually making it easier for them to stop the penalty.

Before it was one smooth motion and they had a bit more power on them and just seemed to go in more often.

From what I can tell it was only actually illegal for a couple of years in the 80s. Most of the time it's been up to the referee to decide if it's allowed or not. Since 2010 it's been allowed as long as the run-up hasn't been completed yet.

Yer maybe it is more obvious now as they all seem to do it lol.

Before it used to be little hops or jitters in a continuous motion, now you can count a full second when they do a full stop and resume lol.
