I too am dismayed about the ease with which the first 50m penalty became a 100m penalty in these incidents. All the more so given how ridiculous some 50m penalties are in the first place when awarded against a player supposedly running through the protected zone, though there clearly had been no negative impact on the player with the ball.
I agree Liz, more goals seen to have become a GOOD THING. Well, if they were truthful, more TV ad breaks=more TV revenue= a GOOD THING.
