SwindonCanary 455 Posted September 9, 2011 The rule of a sending off for ''for preventing a goal scoring chance'' was created to prevent defenders bringing down players when they have beaten the last defender. I don''t think it should be used in the penalty area due to the fact that the ref gives a penalty thus creating a goal scoring chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulf Ottosson 0 Posted September 16, 2011 I''m a bit late on the draw here - but would I loved to have seen 6ft4 Steven Reid take the penalty after he threw himself to the ground like a big girl.See it''s a really good idea!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
