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.
While I agree with the sentiment, this approach would be far too subjective to apply consistently.
Michael Cox (The Athletic) suggested having a semi-circle penalty area a la 5-a-side.
This way, any foul within this area would be close enough to goal to justify a penalty.
Then again… If the offensive player is running away from goal i.e. to the touchline, then this idea falls flat.
Yeah, they should put the Nike Swoosh on all their stuff.
Jk 👍
He knew what he was doing 😏
