Summary at a Glance

Legendary referee Pierluigi Collina believes penalty takers should be banned from scoring a rebound with the Italian keen for football’s Lawmakers to make a change to how spot kicks work.

Collina, one of the most recognisable officials in the game’s history, reckons goalkeepers must kick up a bigger fuss about the current rules because they are so swayed in favour of the attacking team.

“On average, 75% of penalties are already scored, and often, the penalty kick is a bigger chance than the one taken away by the foul.

Sky has slashed the price of its Essential TV and Sky Sports bundle in an unbeatable new deal that saves £192 and includes 1,400 live matches across the Premier League, EFL and more.

This would also eliminate the spectacle we see before a penalty is taken, with everyone crowding around the area.
