  • I’d just get rid of penalties for anything other than clear denial of a goal scoring opportunity, where the offence prevents the direct opponent shooting.

    Why are we giving free shots on goal for a dubious handball that takes place in the far corner of the box when we’ve no idea if it will result in a chance to score.

    As others have said, the risk/reward for forcing a penalty is heavily gamed towards the attacker, and just invites all manner of diving and conceited attempts to ‘win’ a penalty. Case in point, the Kane dive vs Malta (?) which he was correctly carded for diving for as an example.

    Give them direct free kicks 30 yards from goal, or an indirect fk in the box, for everything else
