At a meeting last week all Football League clubs agreed to consider a revolutionary proposal for penalty shoot-outs to decide all drawn matches as part of a wider review aimed at making the game more entertaining. A meeting of the 72 league chairmen agreed to a working party being set up to consider the proposal among other ways of making their competitions more attractive. The proposal was put forward by Football League chairman Lord Brian Mawhinney, and would see all drawn matches in professional league games outside the Premiership go to a shoot-out. http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/NewsDetail/0,,10341~999802,00.html?If this happens I'm never setting foot in a football league ground again. |

It's a horrible, horrible idea.
When would the early leavers go to beat the traffic!?!
It would be a nightmare on days where you're looking out for matches elsewhere etc.
Oh, and the idea alone is complete bollocks too.

In this case I think stupidity will be defeated. They will rightly be told to fuck off by the fans. Swindon Town FC would like to canvass our fans opinions on this suggestion - please answer the quick vote on this topic on the home page or email your comments to enquiries@swindontownfc.co.ukBe sure to do that, it is important the football league get the message. |

LEAVE OUR FUCKING GAME ALONE! That goes for Rafa Benitez and the re-introduction of his Liverpool B-to-play-in-the-Football-League idea. Maybe, in Spain Rafa... But not here thank you. He said: "I would like to see reserve teams of the big clubs like ourselves playing in the Football League. Why not if they have enough quality?" |

Nice one Rafa (and Arsene and Jose) - which dozen or so clubs are going to have to go bust so your also-ran Spanish no-marks can get a bit of a run-out then? In fact, why not just completely fucking dismantle the entire English league structure while you're at it? After all, football's only really about the top half-dozen clubs in the Premiership, the rest are just make-weights and inconveniences on your road to Champions League glory aren't they? Twats.
New FA rule: any foreign manager who fails to understand the importance of the whole Football League structure to the game in this country and comes up with stupid schemes which would destroy the fabric of the game solely to suit his own bunch of selfish whinging primadonnas to be deported in leg-irons back to whence they came. And they can take Adrian Durham, Mike Parry and the rest of the "there is no football outside of the Prem" crew with them.

Whilst I can wholeheartedly agree with the vast majority of your argument, here I think you're being a little unfair on Durham. He may be a professional wind up merchant, who deliberately adopts completely indefensible positions in debates around the game just to generate a bit of pointless debate, but he's also a long suffering Peterborough United fan, who's only too aware of life outside the top flight, (and may well get to experience life outside the league fairly soon the way things are going). That aside (pumps arm in irritating American talk show audience member stylee) whoo, whooo, whooo..go pauld, go pauld.. |

If this happens I'm never setting foot in a football league ground again.
I emailed the club yesterday after seeing their story, and before seeing this thread, and said *exactly* the same thing. Implement penalty shootouts and I'll never go to a football league game again. |

Terrible idea - will never happen, the fans and players/management and seemingly all but a few administrators hate the idea - it's on a par with the reserve team idea - Rafa we have reserve leagues in England for a reason! Whats more either loan some players out or don't buy so many in the first place!
