Blatter wants to scrap penalty shootouts

The first penalty shoot out in England was in 1970 and that was in the Watney Cup. They never came into the FA Cup until 1991-92.

Its a relatively new idea and not a good one in my view. Lets go back to a better time when a drawn game was decided by another football match played over 90 minutes. Its a novel idea I know, but it might just catch on.

Agree in principle, but there's no way you could fit replays into the modern footballing schedule imo. Towards the end of the season, teams chasing the league, Champions League and a domestic cup are already playing 3 games every 7/8 days. Add a couple of replays (say, a CL quarter-final and a league cup semi) and they'd be playing every day.
 
Replays ... endless replays ... and Blatter can shove his broadcasting schedules right up his flabby Vallaisian arse.

Seconded.

Wouldn't be a problem if they hadn't mucked around with the European and UEFA Cups and left them as straight knockout tournaments. Ridiculous when you can play anything up to 19(is it?)games to win the Europa league. But then UEFA are too f***ing thick to realise that fixture congestion is a problem of their own making.

Both teams to wear 'it's a knockout' style costumes during extra time, obviously this would mean Stewart Hall having to be employed as a commentator by itv, fantastic entertainment.
 
Loadabollocks. He's got nee interest in scrapping penalties at all.

He has simply made a mad statement to deflect media attention from FIFAs backpedalling away from all the reformation promises they made when the last lot of corruption revelations emerged ala Jack Warner.
Hes been getting away with it for years because he plays the media game like Maradona plays volleyball.
 
The league I play in doesn't so draws. So it comes down to who has had the most corners. I think it's shit but its a fair way to go
 
Shoot Sep.

Two fans from opposing sides are given a wildly innacurate rifle each. Blatter stands in the centre circle. The first one to blow the fat racist cunts head off wins.

I know this could only happen for one game, but what a f***ing game it would be, I'd buy ten tickets. :lol:

Shooting's too good for him. He needs to bleed out slowly.
 
I don't mind penalties at all, but if they really gotta scrap em, just play overtime, but with no keepers in net. That'll settle things quickly enough.

Pelanties.

Golden Goal
