Ghanaian football fan proposes major penalty rule change to IFAB

“This change would ensure goalkeepers receive full credit for their effort and make the game fairer and more enjoyable,” he added.

He wants the Laws of the Game amended so that play stops whenever a goalkeeper saves a penalty, preventing other players from scoring from the rebound.

Under his proposal, a saved penalty would result in a goal kick, similar to the way penalty shootouts end after a successful save.
