I don't like the idea of goals being awarded when the goal doesn't go across the line, something about that feels wrong (just like goals not being awarded when they do, ha).
It's still a sport after all, and players and teams can and need to play within the rules and step up. I like the fact that it's not an absolute and brings human decision making and drama into the equation. I think a penalty kick and a red-card is fair. 80% of the time, it should be enough, but it just gives the offending team the little bit of hope to make the game exciting.
