Quote ="FearTheVee"Whys should there be? The records are meaningless - every player is bound to have kicks of differing difficulty in differing weather conditions. How do you regulate that so that the "records" are valid?
I'm sure it's nice to find yourself in possession of such a record, but making up rules to protect such a frivolous thing would be daft.'"
On that basis, try scoring records are meaningless because Danny McGuire / Lesley Vainikolo / Wingers and other positions in general aren't on an equal footing.
Without any rules at all, Gary Connolly could have the record with 142 consecutive kicks... Except he would still have missed directly in front.
Cripes, he was worse than Wellens was last year!
The only rule I would say is "if you're on the pitch you take the kick". Otherwise it counts as a miss. So if Foster is displaced for another player, as long as he kicks when he gets the chance his record continues. If, however, he is on the pitch and Eastmond takes a kick out wide, the record is ended.
(That's my opinion on what the rule should be, anyway)
