I just want to try to clear up some points to your situation and outcome. Law 14 clearly states that a goal is to be awarded if the ball touches either or both goal posts and/or the crossbar, and/or the goalkeeper if the kick was taken in extended time ti allow for the PK. So it would have to be a goal, no way around that. There is no judgement just a fact on that call. If you blew your whistle to stop play before the ball crossed the goal line then the PK was not completed and most be retaken. You would send off the offending player for violent conduct since, I remember correctly, the ball was bouncing off of the keepers head and this player struck another player, therefore he was not playing or attempting to play the ball and connot be serious foul play.
The ball was still moving and therefore still in play, if the ball had not bounced off of the keeper then yes, there would be little chance that the ball would enter the goal and play would be over and the kick completed. You could not have blow the whistle to signal the kick completed after the ball struck the crossbar by way of Law 14.
