Re: Fouls that "Didn't Affect the Outcome of the Match"

With real-time scoring, penalties should not be assessed after the match has finished. (Unless it is a yellow or red card, etc.). In NFL games, you don't see yellow penalty flags thrown during halftime or during commercial breaks. I know this game was tough and there are different circumstances for every situation, but changing the score after the match has ended is annoying forspectators and players. I don't have any solutions to offer up, but it was something that happens a lot in FRC, and I don't really see it happen in other spectator sports.

(I mean, imagine that you're watching a hockey game, and after the final period ends, the refs gather together, then go back out onto the ice and announce that team A will get a penalty shot. How insane would it look?)
