I was thinking about this the other day. I'm a tall centre back that goes up for all offensive corners and I'm usually targeted by the other team (put their biggest guy on me). I get absolutely manhandled, and I'm not sure if a PK has ever been awarded for me. To some extent, I understand it's tough to give a PK if I am not for sure going to receive the corner, but where is the line drawn? IMO, there should be a free kick awarded outside the box or something if it's not a clear scoring chance. Otherwise, you can basically get away with murder in your own box.
