I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

I think those decisions are best left up to IFAB.

Riyad Mahrez had the following goal from a penalty against Manchester City today disallowed as, due to slipping on his run up to take the kick, he committed an infringement by touching the ball twice without any other player having touched it between his first and second touches.
No issue there; correct decision and well-spotted by the ref.
However, it got me thinking... If a penalty-taker hits the post or cross-bar from a penalty kick and the ball rebounds back to him for a tap-in (without any other player having touched or played the ball in between) and the penalty-taker then scores, shouldn't such a goal be disallowed? Although no specific example springs to mind right now, I'm nearly sure I've seen such rebounds scored and allowed before. Anyone have any insight on this?
Has there been a rule change or some kind of revision to the advantage rule recently? Just saw in the Boro Southampton game - just outside the box,a player kind of dragged the ball behind him but the defender just held him and wouldn't let him get past. The ball came to another attacker, who curled a tame shot pretty much straight at the keeper. Ref then blew for the foul.
It wasn't a long advantage in terms of time, but the player had the chance to take, and took, a shot on goal. I was surprised it was called back, as 'advantage' is usually over when you get any chance to continue.
