Thermopylae 15,287 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I feel they give both teams a certain security to hang onto what the've got and so discourage attacking play and the whole second half of tonights game was a right off because of this. So I propose it being indicated at the track side how many shots on target each side has had and if the game ends in a draw whoever has had the most wins . As a scheme it's a sure fire winner because whoever is behind with about 20 minutes to go must start to attack and this will also give the opposition a good chance to score at the other end Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeReadyStu 70 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Always thought the thing they do in Ice Hockey is interesting when they get to extra time, (or overtime as they call it) they play 4 v 4 rather than 5 v 5, as it frees up more space making the game more open, wondering maybe if would work in football, 10 v 10, or even 9 v 9, seems better than penalties imo.

Bobby 41 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Nothing wrong with a shoot out.I would rather they scrubbed the extra 30 mins and went straight to penalties....extra time is almost always a boring stalemate hanging on for the peno's!

hugh_capet 341 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 They should introduce a real shoot out. A sniper on the roof of the stadium starts taking out a player from each side until a winner is scored. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess the majority go to pens Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alstone 374 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 PK's is the only rational way to decide a game, i hate the idea that the team with most possesion/shots on goals should win by default it will simply change the game altogether, football is won and lost by goals scored - the team that deserves to win doesnt always win and thats the beauty of it. If say it were a case of team who had most shots on goals wins then players would be hoofing it goalwards from the halfway line all of extra time, its an awful awful idea, pks are tough but eventualy someone has to lose Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klos 39 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 The drama of penalty kicks is great, unless its your own team, when it turns into a slow horrible torture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmarriedAfineYin 5 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Some shite in here. Penalties are a football skill as well as a mental test. If a game finishes 0-0 its a great way to decide who wins. Plus as long as its this way engurland will never win fck all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
