Doubtful. It would have such a profound impact on games that I'd imagine it would be changed long before it reached that point. My randomly-chosen 75% might not have been far off, too. In the PL this past year, there were .21 penalties per game. Believe that was the fifth penalty thus far in the World Cup, in 6.5 games...so, .77 penalties per game to date.
I liked Arter before he did that ****. And everyone (pundits) went, 'yeah, pen.' God damn shakespear performance. His leg was collecting an oscar the next week. Twat.
Maybe we should do without penalties altogether. In 90% of the situations a goal wouldn't have been scored anyway. Free kicks inside the box should be given for things like handballs (unless clearly preventing a goal), shirt pulling at corners etc Okay, maybe not 'altogether', but at least give the ref the option of giving a free kick instead of a pen.
I take your point but there's enough incosistency as it is without opening that particular can of worms. On another note, Guerrero (who's serving a coke ban that's been temporarily lifted) to score the equaliser off the bench?
I've been drinking the wrong tea all these years ffs Just stuck a couple of quid on him scoring anyway.
Yeah, it's something I suggested before: penalties when a goal-scoring opportunity is denied, IFKs in the box otherwise. No more jammy penalties on a dumb tackle 20 yards from goal, and as an added benefit, IFKs in the box are stupidly fun.
Think we signed the wrong Carillo... This Peru team are awesome to watch going forward - equalise please!
I don't even remember what happened after as i stopped paying attention, has nothing to do with whether its a penalty or not. oooh, if only that curled the other way!
