Give up after notice for penalty (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spot kick

'penalty' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'give up after notice' is the wordplay.
'give up' becomes 'kick' (kicking is a kind of giving up).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'notice' becomes 'spot' (I've seen this before).
'kick' after 'spot' is 'SPOT KICK'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Another definition for spot kick that I've seen is " Penalty".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
