Just a general question about the laws of the game. One thing that bugs me about the game is when a keeper makes a penalty save, if they are unfortunate enough for the ball to go straight back to the shooter, they get a second chance. For me, if a penalty is saved on the first go the keeper should be rewarded with a goal kick. This removes the bother about the players encroaching outside the keeper area and all that bollocks.

For me, same as a shootout. You score, you score. You miss, tough titties and no second chance.

What do you think?

if it's not broken...

Spoken like a keeper :-) i like it the way it is

Yes and they should play on golden sand with mankini's on and the half time oranges should be replaced with Jackfruit! ;-p

play should definitely continue if a penalty is saved ... it's the same as a free kick really, just inside the box. Now if you want to talk about red cards and penalties then that is a different matter altogether.

jackfruit is a good shout, way nicer than oranges...

Spot on. A red card and a penalty is too harsh.

bastards.

You'll think of me next time Joey makes a pen save and the opposition score off the rebound. You'll be filled with the agony of the injustice of it all and you'll think of me and this thread. And I too will be filled with the agony and the injustice of it all. Then my idea won't seem so bad.

And you can make an "I told you so" thread :)

Own up which 2 put "Yes"?

bump!!

Go on admit it. You thought of me didn't you? A pen should only be one chance to score.

give over, its still in play if it comes back, our players should have run for the ball instead of 4-5 having there hands on there hips when pen was took

Why? Should a free kick be a one chance to score? Once the keeper makes a save the ball is back in play.

No. My opinion on penalties hasn't changed after today's game. Your idea is flawed

I did think of you! Still not convinced though...

Is this some idea taken from Gay Rugby (Aussie Rules Football)?

Agreed, but the capped sleeve t shirts, Aussie style haircuts and ultra tight shorts make Aussie Rules Football look really Gay!
