Football gave birth to rugby? So two spherical balls had it off and produced an abnormal egg-shaped runt and threw it out of the footballing family? Kinda makes sense.
Surely this would just encourage more fouling in the box if it looks like the other team is going to score?
Nah! Just keep it as it is will be fine by me, might cause a few too many contraversies, goal difference if fine by me!
How about instead of a single goal being awarded when a goal was scored, we took a leaf from the game of Rugby and awarded points instead. For example, if a goal was scored during normal play then any goal scored was awarded lets say... 3pts. And if any penalty awarded was scored it was only awarded 1pt.
