Rebound goals from penalty saves

[urban genie]

Talks about getting rid of them from WC 2026 onwards.

Personally I always liked them and would not think it improves the game to abolish them.

I heard about that & thought it was a wind up? why would they do that, whats the point & how would it work, once the keeper has saved it, everybody has to stand back and a goalkick is given? bit weird.

Probably never thought it through like most things….

 

[East Level 2]

Bloody stupid idea and I expect the IFAB to see it as such.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Suppose it'd stop encroachment.

The way it's going we'll not need a ref on the pitch anymore, it'll all be done remotely.

Think it's already the case that if the ball rebounds off the post the kicker can't be the first to touch it? I'd just extend that rule and make it so the kicker can't touch the ball if the keeper saves it as well.

Thinks back to the watford leicester play off and many other examples of a pen being saved and a goal being scored on the counter , what a stupid ,pointless fucking rule

Probably the yanks pushing this ,who can’t understand the penalty scenario. “But the keeper saved it how can they score”..

Oh, and an ad break before and after the pen.

 

[Blue Hefner]

I would abolish them. It’s hard enough for keepers to save them, why should the attacking team get a second chance?

I agree that it's more interesting. I'd keep them, but cut down on when penalties are awarded - very few deserve to result in an 80% chance of scoring. Keeper trips a player about to go round him is worth a penalty - mistimed tackle on the edge of a crowded box almost never is.

I think it is a good idea to change this rule.

I don't think it is fair that a GK makes a great save to stop the initial shot but then there's a goal anyway when the keeper fails to supernaturally get back into a position to save the 2nd attempt.

At least try it for a few years and if it's not working put it back.

What’s the difference between that and a keeper making a great save when the ball is in open play and the attacking player banging in the rebound?

True but I think the 1 on 1 element of a penalty is enough before any rebound.

Not that I think it's very practical but I like the concept of the game resuming from a rebound but the ball needs to be brought outside the box before a shot is taken or a goal only counts if it is touched by 2 attacking players so at least there's time to reposition the defence. But I think it's just cleaner to do what they are suggesting.

There is nowt so. satisfying as when an opposition keeper saves your pen and the disapointment turns into rapture and limbs as your centre back then rattled the rebound in

...unless it's your defender making the save and the opposition CB thundering in the rebound. :-)

I think the main problem with penalties is that they're overpowered. It's such a huge punishment for what is often a nothing foul in a situation where the attacker was never getting a shot off. So for me, anything to balance it out a bit more would be welcome.

next will. be an Interview with the goalie before its take.

But the point of awarding a penalty is that the attacking team have been disadvantaged by foul play. Not sure compounding that disadvantage is the way to go

I agree.

I'd like there to be a penalty when there's a genuine goal stopping foul. But I'd like a different punishment for lesser offenses - like getting a freekick from outside the box or something. But it'd be too complicated and everyone would complain about the decision between the 2 so ...

Best to keep the rules and punishments as simple as possible and I think this new rule achieves that.
