I’d love to see a rule change. The player fouled should be made to take the penalty. If this is not possible due to injury or handball, then the last player to touch the ball should take it.Change the rules so that the pen can be taken as soon as the taker is ready. Stops all these shenanigans in a heartbeat.
I watched a game last week, no idea who now, a player did the same and got a yellow.He was carded for dissent after having a pop at the ref, BT as ever talked a load of shite about the penalty spot which was wrong.
There are basically six different types of offence that can result in a yellow card being shown to a player. They are:
So I think scuffing the pitch should be classed as the first one
- Unsportman-like behaviour
- Dissent by word or deed
- Repeated infringement of the rules
- Delaying the restart of play
- Not maintaining the correct distance from a corner or free-kick.
- Leaving or re-entering the field of play without the referee’s permission
As it happens he wasn't booked for that anyway, he was actually booked for dissent at the referee after we'd scored.I dont think their should be any punishment at all.
Probably makes it more important that an edict comes out now so that such cheating isn't copied at lower levels as well as at the elite level.As it happens he wasn't booked for that anyway, he was actually booked for dissent at the referee after we'd scored.
What if the player that was fouled was just about to pass it?I’d love to see a rule change. The player fouled should be made to take the penalty. If this is not possible due to injury or handball, then the last player to touch the ball should take it.
Doesn't everything.I watched a game last week, no idea who now, a player did the same and got a yellow.
So it appears it depends on who the official is.
Not last week but Rudiger got booked for it by Alty Taylor against the dippersI watched a game last week, no idea who now, a player did the same and got a yellow.

Straight Red would stop it, it’s so unsportsmanlike like tampering with a cricket ball in my opinion. Cheating, to try and gain an advantage.goal should automatically be awarded.
