No, it should be fair game (except during a penalty shoot-out). They should be a very easy chance to score, to punish the fouling team.
It's only become an issue because penalties are given too softly at the top levels nowadays. Even the lightest contact is seen as a valid excuse to go to ground. Tho at least they've made handball harder to award.
Good idea. Just like in hockey. You’ve got the advantage, if it’s saved or hits the woodwork then you blew it, chance gone.
I’ve always said we should have sin bins, like in rugby, so the team receiving the yellow card is immediately disadvantaged not in ten weeks time. Look at the Ipswich - Charlton second play-off game at Portman Road - about six different Charlton players took it in turns to boot Bobby Petta up in the air. There were a few yellow cards dished out IIRC but all stayed on the pitch as someone else stepped up. Cynical.
And also - back chat the ref, free kick, move the ball 10 yards closer to the offenders goal. Works bloody well in a number of sports. Massive stain on the game. Kids idolise these players and it filters down to the grass-roots game. Stamp it out.

Moving the ball 10 yards forward for a bit of back chat wouldn't work in football. If you've conceded a free kick 25 yards out, one of the players would call the ref a daft sod, a free kick from 15 yards out is much more likely to be unsuccessful.

That close in and it becomes a penalty. Easy.
Sick of seeing over-paid morons using language in front of little kids that they’d get locked up for if they were outside a pub at 1am.

Totally agree.
I fear VAR will make it even worse at the WC. Every coming together will be analysed to see if there was 'contact' and I think we'll see large numbers of games decided by soft penalties.

"Win a penalty".
"Oh he's won a free-kick in a dangerous area there!".
Grrr.
Fecking 'won'. Either you've been the victim of an unfair challenge or you haven't.
