Just watched thenOlympic Women's hockey gold medal final which after a 3-3 draw was decided on penalties.
What a great way to decide the outcome of a game.
Football should take a lesson from this. A one on one situation for a set period of time. ( for this game 8 secs) for footy maybe longer.
Far superiour and more entertaining than our spot kicks.
If you have not seen it watch it on I player etc and let us know what you think.

And the fact you referred football to footy makes your point invalid.

I'm sure our soccer playing cousins across the pond use to have a similar system years ago to decide certain games. Don't like it myself for footy but for hockey and the like then it's a yes. Oh and how good was the hockey, the GB keeper had the game of her life.

It's a good idea. Admin could issue one to anyone starting a thread titled "Balotelli".
Oh, I see...

If there is a sudden death in the crowd tomorrow, the team that person supports, should be awarded a penalty. It's what they would have wanted. We have a lot of old supporters!

The devil is in the detail. It would be a piece of piss for opposing fans - they'd merely have to hack the big screen to show a message - "Wright's Pies in administration" or "Brexit overturned".
We'd be relegated by Xmas.............

More entertaining than spot kicks? I think a penalty shootout is just about the most exciting thing you can watch in football. I love them.
