I just think the odds have to be evened in some capacity in regards to penalties.
For starters I'd like it if they really got it down to: "Was a scoring opportunity denied?"
Not whether a shirt was grabbed, a toe was stepped on, the cheap stuff. Did the ball hit the arm? Did that stop the ball from going into the net?
Was it a real scoring opportunity that was illegally prevented?
Because whats the conversion percentage of a penalty? 85%+?
Does someone deserve an almost free goal because his toe got trodden on at the outer edge of the 18-yard box?
The punishment/reward doesnt fit the transgression.
