Ciaran Whelan made a good suggestion re the Tyrone/rugby/dragging down type of tackle. He suggests awarding a 20m free in front of the posts as a penalty for this type of cynical foul. I like this idea as it would cut out most of the cynicism. I would go further though. If someone pulls a player down and prevents a clear goalscoring opportunity then I think a penalty should be awarded. The idea being if a goalscoring opportunity is prevented by a cynical foul then the team should be given a goalscoring opportunity.
