Penalties

I read this morning Fifa are proposing banning rebounds from penalties.. instead awarding a free kick to the defending team.

Not sure what to make of it. Initially I thought it was a good idea as it balance out the advantage of the penalty a little. But then of a player is brought down, or a handball on the line leads to a penalty.. surely thereā€™d be a chance of a rebound etc in open play. So the attacking team loses that advantage.

It could lead to another rule change in that a handball off the line, or something equally as blatant/goal denying could be awarded as a penalty goal in order to make it fair again.

Opinions on it?

I think they should change throw ins so that whoever gets to the ball first gets to take it.
We'd see some great touchline rammies

Messi v Crouch.. Crouch just holding the ball out of reach as Messi jumps for it.

Rule changes normally occur when something has been an issue or controversial

I don't remember anything controversial about penalty rebounds. It is the reason we have the D shape on the edge of the 18 yard box.

The only time a foul is given from a penalty is if the player hitting the penalty hits the post or bar and then hits the ball again before another player.

The rule stops them from touching it forward then hitting it but perhaps the rule should change to allowing them to hit it if it comes back off the goal frame

Aye I did think this proposal was nonsense.. just tweaking the game where it doesn't need to be tweaked.

You dont get rebounds in a pen shoot out though.

I would allow 1 person to take KO and also allow then to kick it backwards

This will revolutionise football and some wee guy will get a right few quid for the genius invention.
