[Scarby]

Penalty-takers will not be allowed to stop at the last second
Penalty-takers will no longer be allowed to halt at the end of their run-ups to try to fool the goalkeeper.

So are they going to keep an eye on goalies who are 2 yards off their line as well then? Seeing as they ain't sposed to do that either........

Are you still allowed to chip it feebly like a great big girlie twat ?

Why not??

Looks better when it's high and wide though.

Pah. All part of the game.

Seriously though, this is very surprising after two decades of rules tweaking all of which has been aimed at making the game more attacking, more of a spectacle and favouring the attack over the defence.

I think chip is a compliment, more of a squib i think? :icon_cry:

i thought it was always the case that you couldnt halt your run up, but was widely ignored
