Will all ABBA referee's Kindly stop going On and on and on.

I was only 17 when I took the winning penalty in a shootout.

I was having the time of me life

This will be decided, as such things always are, on the basis of money money money.

Agree. This has all the hallmarks of football administrators with not enough to do, trying too hard to justify their existence.

I'd add that, biased as I may be because of our record in shootouts, I don't think there's much (if anything) wrong with the current system anyway. Next they'll be trying to make the toss-up at kickoff "fairer". Leave well alone.

Kickoffs should be handled like this -

What I imagined was both teams taking separate successive penalties at opposite ends of the pitch. Taker from each team must kick simultaneously. Best of 5 wins. Crowd will be a massive factor here.

The keeper would have to be mental to come out of box...they will just come close to the edge of the box to instigate a mistimed lob but will never get too adventurous...it's pointless drama really.
