I agree JaP. Not deserved. Particularly in that PK setup.In short, they get an undeserved 1 on 1 chance with the goalkeeper that they were unable to create during the actual game. Is that deserved?

Actually they did make adjustments to this. Previously they were not allowed to move at all before the kick. Now they can move side to side at any time before the kick.Oh, you're talking about the PK from a distance running up like the video, right? No, I wouldn't be in favor of that either. I'm talking about making just a slight change to the current PK approach, where instead of the goalie having to stay his/her line, they are freed up at the whistle. Simple adjustment. I've seen too manyt shootouts gon2-3 rounds with the current. Boring!!
As the the parent of a keeper I am torn on this idea. I am a firm believer of, "If it ain't broke don't fix it". However with that being said, in PKs the advantage overwhelmingly goes to the shooter. This change would even the odds up a bit and make for a more exciting finish.
The only drawback I see would be for an increase in injuries to both players.
A previous poster mentioned a compromise. Do not move the ball so far back but at the very least let the keeper come off their line as soon as the whistle is blown.
I find myself leaning towards that direction.It's broke.
kicking from existing spot while freeing up goalie would not increase chance of injury IMO. The shooter would have a situation similar to a field goal kicker in football.

Think about it. No change to current spot. Only change is to free up the goalie. Whistle blows,.......action. There would be a lot more saves (Exciting!), and the shooter would have to think and react quickly. Personally, I think it would add some fun to the process. I don't have goalies among my DD's, BTW. But, I think the current PK set up is skewed and can, at times, drag out round after round. Just saying
I was refering to the proposed run up shoot out. I can see a lot of 1 on 1 collisions. I know that can happen anytime in regulation play also.kicking from existing spot while freeing up goalie would not increase chance of injury IMO.

This is precisely what I have been suggesting.Keep the shot where it is, but allow the keeper to come off their line on the whistle. Once less thing for the AR to worry about as some keepers come off the line already.
