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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!?Huh???

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.

Imagine that in a Inter vs. Valencia type environment... Might as well have a post-match wrestle too! Team that looks the least cowardly wins.

It's been laughed off by clubs up and down the country. Nothing to worry about.

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.
