Some may agree with it but I say.... NO THANK YOU Title: The End of The Draw Post by: swindon_chick on Wednesday, March 14, 2007, 22:03:34 Stupid, stupid idea.
Title: The End of The Draw Post by: red macca on Wednesday, March 14, 2007, 22:10:47 If they want to scrap the draw then they might aswell just say you get no points for a draw for BOTH teams.At least they will go for it then.With the chance of penalties you still have teams playing out for the shootout and nicking the win.
I mean goaless draws though Title: The End of The Draw Post by: Lash_sumthin on Wednesday, March 14, 2007, 22:14:19 gayness
Title: The End of The Draw Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Wednesday, March 14, 2007, 22:19:43 fuck off
Title: The End of The Draw Post by: Panda Paws on Wednesday, March 14, 2007, 22:20:38 Total crock of shit. They can shove their pen shootouts up their arse.
Title: The End of The Draw Post by: sonic youth on Wednesday, March 14, 2007, 22:25:58 Cunts.
Title: The End of The Draw Post by: Bogus Dave on Wednesday, March 14, 2007, 22:27:05 what a gay idea
Title: The End of The Draw Post by: land_of_bo on Wednesday, March 14, 2007, 22:28:45 Surely an early april fools joke?
Why pens, corner count would be much better, surely :? Title: The End of The Draw Post by: herthab on Wednesday, March 14, 2007, 22:49:59 Load of wank and they're all cunts.
That is all........................................... Title: The End of The Draw Post by: RobertT on Wednesday, March 14, 2007, 22:56:44 Surely this will be closely followed by the new law allowing forward passing out of hand along with specialist defensive and offensive line-ups being used in rotation compared to the team in possession?
Title: The End of The Draw Post by: Rich Pullen on Wednesday, March 14, 2007, 23:01:29 When the U.S. introduced the no-draw ruling in the 1970's it led them to be totally isolated from FIFA - and too bloody right. Franz Beckenbauer and Rodney Marsh both loved the rule - but they'll say anything for a the almighty $$$$.
I knew something like this was going to be announced after filling out a football league questionnaire the other week (there was some ridiculous questions). I'm sure enough uproar will prevent them from introducing the rule. Title: The End of The Draw Post by: flammableBen on Wednesday, March 14, 2007, 23:39:04 I think it's an ace idea, would mean that there would be some excitement at the end of a 0-0 draw. Would make the game more attacking towards the end as teams wouldn't want it to go on to penalties.
They should go for a first to ten, an idea I had whilst sitting in the savoy earlier. Title: The End of The Draw Post by: millom red on Thursday, March 15, 2007, 02:37:28 Leave the game alone ya meddling bastards :(
Might as well just draw fuckin straws ffs. :evil: cunts cunts cunts cunts cunts cunts cunts Title: The End of The Draw Post by: Give us an S on Thursday, March 15, 2007, 08:30:29 I agree thats just plain silly. I could understand maybe just playing an extra 20 mins, similar to overtime they play in NHL Ice Hockey but if its still a draw it should stay a draw. That said, i think its best to just leave the game as it is.
Title: The End of The Draw Post by: mattboyslim on Thursday, March 15, 2007, 08:43:21 Draws are an integral part of the game, there will be a stage where FA cup ties have Extra Time in the first match to minimise replays IMHO, but having the tea,s being equal ion a league game is part and parcel of the league structure - if more exciting equates to looking to attract the type of people that wanna watch Franchise then no thanks.
Title: The End of The Draw Post by: mjad on Thursday, March 15, 2007, 08:53:36 i don't normally comment on on-pitch affairs, but will do on this
this is a crap idea made up by the clubs trying to put more bums on seats. don't think this will add anything to the gate. Title: The End of The Draw Post by: SwindonTartanArmy on Thursday, March 15, 2007, 10:13:58 Fucking stupid idea. WE ARE NOT FUCKING AMERICANS, THAT ARE TOO STUPID TO COMPREHEND DRAWS!!!
Title: The End of The Draw Post by: genf_stfc on Thursday, March 15, 2007, 10:25:25 What the fuck is wrong with having a draw ? there was a damn good one between spurs and chelsea last week for example. you might as well not bother with the game and go straight to the shoot out, fucking stupid idea. Any chairman that votes yes to this should have their name made public...
Title: The End of The Draw Post by: Glostered on Thursday, March 15, 2007, 10:34:04 If they want to increase the amount of attacking football played, and stop teams coming to defend for ninety minutes, then just up the number of points for a win to 4.
Or give a bonus point to teams that score three or more goals. Penalty shoot-outs my ass. :x Title: The End of The Draw Post by: mattboyslim on Thursday, March 15, 2007, 10:53:22 No fan of Bonus points - they ahve it in Rugby, therefore automatically a bad idea. A one nil win can be just as important as a 5-0, and then the importance of a disallowed goal or not given penalty in the last minute at 2-0 up becomes more significant than ever - more pressure on refs and more moaning.
Title: The End of The Draw Post by: Glostered on Thursday, March 15, 2007, 11:03:31 I take your point.
But I thought the idea of bringing in these penalty shoot outs was to increase excitement? If that's the case, then I'm just thinkin of a more sensible way of doing that, than aboloshing draws altogether! Title: The End of The Draw Post by: Scot Munroe on Thursday, March 15, 2007, 11:06:10 I don't like the idea. Football is about win lose or draw. They done it in america and they stopped a couple of years ago. Not for me.
Title: The End of The Draw Post by: Gazza's Fat Mate on Thursday, March 15, 2007, 11:55:21 This is only being done to please all the boring cunts who moan about travelling to games then not seeing a result! It's all the new wave of wannkers coming to football who think of it as entertainment when it is in fact a passion. I've seen plenty of good draws.
aslo this is amercains just trying to jazz up socer fuck off you yank cunts it football and sometimes its boiring but in a strange why that;s why it so good. leave it only it's ben fine for years. I despair sometime with the dfart shit that the fa etc come out with what next power time or an extra point if you score more than three goals where will it end!!!!!!!!!!!?????? Title: The End of The Draw Post by: genf_stfc on Thursday, March 15, 2007, 12:22:38 they'll want to make the goals bigger next, and make the keepers tie one hand behind their back
Title: The End of The Draw Post by: Northern Red on Thursday, March 15, 2007, 13:09:42 Overtime and 2 goal penalties - its the future :mrgreen:
Title: The End of The Draw Post by: janaage on Thursday, March 15, 2007, 14:00:22 I kinda like the idea, but on it's own, not to replace draws.
Here's my idea. You just create a "Penalties League" for fun, that's right footballing authorities after the end of every match have a penalty shoot out, and keep a record of the results. Winners get a trophy, nothing else. maybe a little bit of sponsorship money, it'd keep the fans happy, nowt to serious though. It'd give players a chance to practice pens in a hostile environment. like I say though it should not affect the normal "traditional" league.

Might as well have a post-match wrestle too! Team that looks the least cowardly wins. Title: The End of The Draw Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, March 15, 2007, 14:02:23 It's been laughed off by clubs up and down the country. Nothing to worry about.
Title: The End of The Draw Post by: janaage on Thursday, March 15, 2007, 14:04:44 That's the beauty of it Rich, more entertainment, you've just won in the last minute thanks to a debatable goal, then you've got a chance rub it in by beating them in the pens too.
Title: The End of The Draw Post by: lebowski on Saturday, March 17, 2007, 11:08:30 what worries me the most about this proposal is this sentence in the press article:
"The League's 72 club chairmen..." so willie carson was representing us, in a serious football debate. and my thoughts on the proposal are that surely the opportunity to get 2 points for a draw, only encourages teams to make sure they do not lose? |
