Quite right.

EDIT: Refs should be allowed to just use their common sense.

I'll never know why running into the crowd when you score a goal was decided to be a bookable offence. Since I've been going to football matches (2001) I think it's banned, and I've always sat in the middle tear (until next season when I'm moving

)

But I'd imagine there to be nothing more thrilling than having one of your favourite players coming to give you a nice hug.

Why don't we just go the whole hog & have scoring goals as a sending off offence.

They should introduce a rule whereby saving a penalty is deemed as ungentlemanly conduct and a sending off offence.

We'd stand a chance then.

We wouldn't, we'd sky the penalties.
