we also wanna add icehockey style penalties, one player starts in the middle and has 15 secs to score (can only give off one shot probably), other player spawns as keeper
I mentioned this ages a go and was roundly criticised.

As for penalties from the penalty spot is it simply going to be a case of the keeper saves the shot by guessing which way to dodge...Hmmmm a lot of skill involved there...Penalties in DB won't work...

they'll be balanced in a way so its unfair for the keeper :)
means: keeper requires luck
but you can also look at the players aiming
he can fake it, by turning into another corner in the last second, but his aiming will be fawked then

i played around a bit with it, its damn hard to shoot right without being predictable

The keeper mustn't be allowed to come off his line and the offending player mustn't be allowed to volley. One conventional shot only - no follow ups.
