110: Alternative to Current Soccer's Penalty Foul System-2

It seems like in suggesting that alternative in post 105 I have again gone my usual way of touching my ear with the hand from the other side. Making a Penalty foul comprising more than one kick from the Penalty mark and that all those kicks should inter the goal in order for the Penalty as a whole to be counted as a Goal, seems much better solution. It does not need any of the additional things suggested in that post.

On second thought, my previous suggestion may not be exactly like touching an ear with the hand from the other side, because you may, for example, require 5 shots to enter the goal and still not reduce  the advantage of shooting from that position enough. Therefore a better alternative seems to be to combine both those suggestions and give the choice to the team on whom the Penalty was counted.

Nevertheless, this multiple shots idea, by itself, makes huge improvement over the current system and is very simple to be followed during playing time. It is hard to see that a VAR system was implemented before applying such a simple solution to the big problem of fouls in the Penalty area. Within general guidelines, one path of implementing this idea is to leave determining the number of shots to the referee.  As much as things are left to the judgment of the referee as much as it makes sense to to give him the tool for more precise application of that judgment.
