Should teams be rewarded for hitting the post?

[bazalini]

Serious question......

Is there anything to said for a team to be rewarded a "half a goal for hitting the post"

Would make games more interesting and rewards players like Rashford for hitting a worldie off the post.

In most cases hitting a post is harder to do then scoring a goal. Anyone who has attempted the crossbar challenge will agree with this.

Half a goal upgraded to a whole one if it bounces off the other one, too.

A super goal

 

[Olly Gunnar Solskjær]

A super goal

At the end of the season they can have an award for the player with the most super goals.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Only if you get 1/4 goal for side-netting.

 

[adexkola]

You still have time to delete this thread before the UK audience wakes up

 

[Scroto Baggins]

Yeah you should get rewarded with no goal.

 

[12OunceEpilogue]

Obviously not. Now close this thread.

 

[duffer]

I think:
0.6 goals for hitting the woodwork
1.2 goals if the shot was outside the area.
0.05 goals for a corner
-0.1 goal for s yellow card
-0.7 goals for a red card

For every player eligible for the national team of the league you're in, you get to multiply the total score by 1.01.

All of the above would make for a fairer and far simpler game.

Maybe they add the crossbar challenge into the game somehow. After five penalties in a shootout, if it's tied after those, then go to the crossbar challenge. If you hit the underside of the bar and it goes into the net it counts as two, whereas if it just hits it normally and bounces off it's just one.

 

[devilish]

Only if they are British. We should call it the Gary Neville rule.

 

[RochaRoja]

Only if you get 1/4 goal for side-netting.

Isn’t this basically how Aussie Rules football works?

 

[bazalini]

Obviously not. Now close this thread.

Why not.......

10 years ago if it was mentioned VAR shoukd be brought in to the game it would have garnered the same response.

Obviously people won't like the idea - but I think it's important people are allowed free speech and any idea should be discussed.

Maybe instead of discouraging debate - you should put forward why you are against it.

In Rugby if you touch a post you get a try - I'm not saying my idea is fully developed - but from people ive spoken to - they are keen to advance the idea.

I'll give 6 reasons why a Super Goal will benefit the game

1. It rewards creativity
2. A Super Goal in a boring 0-0 draw makes the game more exciting
3. Everyone loves when the ball cracks off the post
4. The technology is already there with Cricket to see if a ball hits post.
5. As ole said - the game could bring in a "wooden boot" to go alongside the "golden boot" award
6. Try saying "goalllllll" - then saying "Suppperrr Goalllllll", then tell me which is more exciting.

0.05 goals for a corner

Don't get me started with Corners.

I think corners need changed.

Here's my idea. A team has the opportunity to position a ball at each of the corners with a player at each ready to take the corner. It's up to the team which ball is kicked and obviously with hand signals and player code (worked out on the training field) the attacking team know which ball will be kicked.

 

[haram]

Yeah and minus a goal for every yellow card.

 

[Micky Targaryen]

Oh god..........

this is RAWK levels

Sometimes when I am high I see elephants flying in the sky.

 

[One Night Only]

I think:
0.6 goals for hitting the woodwork
1.2 goals if the shot was outside the area.
0.05 goals for a corner
-0.1 goal for s yellow card
-0.7 goals for a red card

For every player eligible for the national team of the league you're in, you get to multiply the total score by 1.01.

This is genius!

 

[B20]

The basic idea is sound but fails to go to its natural conclusion.

We should award every full Expected goal in a game with a goal. Unless that has already been scored. No draws anymore, the winner is found by xG margins.

Perfect statistical paradise.

Am I on RAWK ?

Are we really at the stage where we're asking if we should get goals for hitting the bar because we can barely get them in the actual goal?

 

[Un4givableB]

Only if they are wearing a Manchester Utd shirt

Jesus Christ. What next?

How much for hitting a spectator on the head? And would it also depend on how annoying he looks? Like bonus points for a full kit wanker?

 

[fergies coat]

If ever a poster deserved to be demoted based on thread content, this is it.

 

[Relevated]

This isn't a bad shout. It would enhance the game in many aspects and the competitiveness would transcend to immense heights. I can even see the penalty shootout being partially replaced by the cross bar challenge in the near future.

So if you are through on goal - you can either score for 1 goal, or run towards the post and kick the ball 4-5 times against the post before the nearest defender arrives...and you might get 2.5 goals ?

Yeah, we'd need an actual goal to count for 2. It might work tbh.

This is when VAR comes into play to prevent the abuse of the rule.

 

[Giggsyking]

I really admire your courage for writing this thread.

 

[Kostur]

It's easier to kick the ball into the goal than the goalpost so it should be at least 3 goals imo.

 

[kouroux]

You clearly were drunk when you wrote this

 

[Acole9]

this is RAWK levels

Exactly what I was thinking!

 

[Grinner]

How about the player getting a Kenwood juicer as a consolation prize?

 

[Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber]

No. Just no....

 

[Dancfc]

I'm guessing Liverpool hit the post many more times than City last season and this is another attempt to spin them into Champions.

 

[Oldyella]

Only if he can guess what price it would cost retail. But as we seem to be rewarding near misses now will allow it if within £25.

And bonus points for good hair surely?
