10 men for the good of the game?

If you want to make the game more open just make the pitch bigger. It would favour faster players and better passing.

 

 

Plenty of room to do that at Hillsborough.

Pitch used to be much wider. 

Wasn’t it big Ron that had the width reduced during his time here.

I cringe when MOTD or similar is discussing penalties.

 

"Well there WAS contact........"

 

Contact? CONTACT!!

 

Just ask yourself was he t*watted or not lol

This is the worst kind of professional foul. A player gets just upside a defender then deliberately crosses him. Short of chopping off his own legs, the defender has no alternative but to make contact. It is not a case of being brought down , but deliberately ensuring that he is.

Surely the idea behind the penalty is a punishment for someone causing or preventing someone from scoring, not to deliberately gain an advantage?

Also, in both codes of Rugby, the Linesman or touch judge  covers the full length of the field

Extend the edge of the penalty area to the touchline, and nowhere outside this should offside be considered..
