ANY foul in the penalty area and you basically get a free goal. So for the most innocuous handball or shirt-tug you basically are punished by a goal given against you. If it was basketball or some otheri wouldn't say a free goal. the amount of times i used to be on overs and a penalty would be missed was crazy.https://community.betfair.com/football/go/thread/view/94070/29617999/im-sick-to-death-of-the-penalty-rule---its-a-joke?post_id=527863335#527863335i wouldn't say a free goal. the amount of times i used to be on overs and a penalty would be missed was crazy.Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:41:24 -0600so long as player and club are punished after the game, 11 v 11 should be maintained wherever possiblehttps://community.betfair.com/football/go/thread/view/94070/29617999/im-sick-to-death-of-the-penalty-rule---its-a-joke?post_id=527861377#527861377so long as player and club are punished after the game, 11 v 11 should be maintained wherever possibleTue, 08 Jan 2013 10:28:09 -0600so long as player and club are punished after the game, 11 v 11 should be maintained wherever possiblehttps://community.betfair.com/football/go/thread/view/94070/29617999/im-sick-to-death-of-the-penalty-rule---its-a-joke?post_id=527861375#527861375so long as player and club are punished after the game, 11 v 11 should be maintained wherever possibleTue, 08 Jan 2013 10:28:09 -0600the simple answer is for the ref to award a penalty for a clear goal-scoring chance whether the player is in the box or not. no need for a red card.https://community.betfair.com/football/go/thread/view/94070/29617999/im-sick-to-death-of-the-penalty-rule---its-a-joke?post_id=527861329#527861329the simple answer is for the ref to award a penalty for a clear goal-scoring chance whether the player is in the box or not. no need for a red card.Tue, 08 Jan 2013 10:25:31 -0600why not just award a goal instead of a red and a sending offsending off ruins game ( usually) , just give offending player a 2 month ban or 6 games or the like, and fine the club 10 x the players weekly wage (with f'ing image rights included)that'llhttps://community.betfair.com/football/go/thread/view/94070/29617999/im-sick-to-death-of-the-penalty-rule---its-a-joke?post_id=527861243#527861243why not just award a goal instead of a red and a sending offsending off ruins game ( usually) , just give offending player a 2 month ban or 6 games or the like, and fine the club 10 x the players weekly wage (with f'ing image rights included)that'llTue, 08 Jan 2013 10:21:15 -0600of course nothing will change because the authorities are much more interested in causing moments of 'controversy' than actually making the game fairer and better. if the pundits and fans couldnt get all hot and bothered about 'controversial decisionhttps://community.betfair.com/football/go/thread/view/94070/29617999/im-sick-to-death-of-the-penalty-rule---its-a-joke?post_id=527861199#527861199of course nothing will change because the authorities are much more interested in causing moments of 'controversy' than actually making the game fairer and better. if the pundits and fans couldnt get all hot and bothered about 'controversial decisionTue, 08 Jan 2013 10:19:43 -0600^^^ could u miss the point a bit more please?https://community.betfair.com/football/go/thread/view/94070/29617999/im-sick-to-death-of-the-penalty-rule---its-a-joke?post_id=527861155#527861155^^^ could u miss the point a bit more please?Tue, 08 Jan 2013 10:17:41 -0600red cards and penalties are an important part of the game, and there would be a sort of anarchy if they weren't used.it's quite straight forward the way i see it.a penalty for a foul in the box.and a red for a "deliberate" foul in the boxhttps://community.betfair.com/football/go/thread/view/94070/29617999/im-sick-to-death-of-the-penalty-rule---its-a-joke?post_id=527861105#527861105red cards and penalties are an important part of the game, and there would be a sort of anarchy if they weren't used.it's quite straight forward the way i see it.a penalty for a foul in the box.and a red for a "deliberate" foul in the boxTue, 08 Jan 2013 10:15:59 -0600Like the OP, ref's decide most games now in my opinion, whether it be a red card or a pen.
