I assume that the player was deemed to have “ feinting to kick the ball once the kicker has completed the run-up”. For that to become effective, does the penalty have to be actually taken ?
The ref was Darren Drysdale. |  | | |

I'm surprised the ref didn't butt the penalty taker and send him on his way |  |

Rightly so. There's too much messing about allowed with penalty kicks.
The taker is effectively inducing the goalie to give away which direction he intends to dive. No longer a fair contest. |  |

There were whistles after the referees whistle and think the player had thought the ref had blown up. The ball hadn’t been touch so should’ve got the chance to go again really. |  |

Penalties are not designed to be a fair contest because the defending team is being penalised for some kind of foul.
Keepers are just as guilty of trying to gain an advantage by encroaching and by trying to distract the taker. | | | |

Some (elsewhere) are justifying the pen taker's actions by saying that the crowd were whistling. I've no idea if that's the real reason, or whether he was trying to play mind games or whatever. They do seem to be whistling before he even runs up, so I'm not convinced myself.
But if, in the lead up to a penalty, someone in the crowd does actually blow a real whistle, presumably the ref wouldn't be so harsh as to deny a pen taker the chance to take a pen just because he's, reasonably, hoodwinked for a couple of seconds?
Also, I don't know the rules for how you run up to, and strike the ball, at a free kick, but I would doubt that the ref would enforce this rule quite so fiercely with just a run of the mill free kick. Maybe he just wants to see silly nonsense eliminated at the penalty spot, and I can totally sympathise with that. Goalies have had the rules tightening on them like a screw (very strictly enforcing staying on their line), so it's fair to ensure that neither party can play silly bu99ers. |  | | |

However, it's a free shot, not a certain goal. The 'keeper has to get a fair chance at saving it.
Goalies should equally be penalised for such shenanigans as takers messing about on the run-up. | |
