you could put Marinovic on pens, bring a good diver into the squad and he'd be the top goalscorer in the league. Removing penalties is necessary

And you'd say well done to him and hope we don't concede too many on the counter. A goal is a goal, winning a pen is almost as good as scoring one when Davila is taking them (knock on wood).

Discounting penalties from goalscoring stats is the dumbest shark cos they count exactly the same as any other goal and a player has to earn the right to take them.

I'm not talking about winning them, I'm talking about taking them. Like I said, you get others to win them and stick my grandma on pens, she'll be right up the golden boot table

If you're not the one winning a penalty, you're literally scoring a goal any player on the field will put into the back of the net nine times out of ten. Winning the penalty is the hard part

You've clearly never watched the Phoenix take penalties before this season. Just because a goal is easier than another doesn't mean we don't count it - we don't distinguish between 25 yard bangers and tap ins. Such a bizarre, arbitrary line to draw.

If you earn the right among the playing group to take the penalties then you deserve all the plaudits for putting them away. Non-pen goals is a joke of a stat.

Perfectly fine with least penalty goals as a tiebreaker for golden boot. If not, guess the FIFA and A-League law-makers are idiots then

Well yeah, we've known that for a long time.

A goal is a goal, how difficult it is doesn't mean shark.
