Does anyone else get annoyed for this. It is just another example of where the game is getting softer.
Commentators all of a sudden have started using on a regular basis, the term. "He has won a penalty for his team" and then start going on about how good the player is because he managed to win a penalty.
A penalty is awarded for foul play or a breach of the rules, that therefore should have nothing to do with the attacking player, if the player has "won a penalty" he has forced another player to commit a foul. That just isn't footy.
