Forget penalties. Get out a big rope and have a tug of war over the half way line.
ABBA didn't work because if you missed the first penalty, the other team goes 2-0 up and it's pretty much done.
Resurrecting again.
The current system has been shown to be statistically unfair time and again. The pressure on the team losing the toss is immense and its clearly needs a change.

Curses, I was going to say, mama mia, here we go again. Now it's not as funny.Not a massive fan, quite like Waterloo though.

Agree with pens at both ends. But then the ref would have to constantly run up and down the pitch.

After the Europa League final, and when it got to 4-4 tonight and the quality of the penalties. I was thinking professionals now at the top level are so good it's a bit of a bore watching them put it into the corner kick after kick. Maybe it's time for something new.
1 Player off every 5 minutes from each side and golden goal. Open up the space on the pitch.
Both teams pick 2 players who have to keep volleying the ball to each other. First duo to drop te ball loses.
What happens after 11 minutes in this scenario?It should be 30 mins of extra time then golden goal where every minute a team has to take off a player.

So fans have to watch both ends of the pitch at the same time to know what’s going on?I think that penalties should be taken at both ends simultaneously.
You think if it was 1 v 1 there wouldn’t be a golden goal?What happens after 11 minutes in this scenario?
Have an additional ref for it?Agree with pens at both ends. But then the ref would have to constantly run up and down the pitch.
Do you get to choose which player goes off, or is it like the Royal Rumble when the players image flashes on the big screen and they’re randomly hookedIt should be 30 mins of extra time then golden goal where every minute a team has to take off a player.
I quite like the ABBA format as it does even things up a bit and even still The Winner Takes It All.
Interesting. Let’s say the latter.Do you get to choose which player goes off, or is it like the Royal Rumble when the players image flashes on the big screen and they’re randomly hooked
Indeed and winning is The Name of the Game.
You'd have to have a Hole in Your Soul to not like the ABBA format. Gimme, Gimme, Gimme it any day of the week over the traditional ABAB format Tiger.
When All is Said and Done, it's a much better format because Mamma Mia as we seen in the Europa League final the ABAB format can go On and On and On forever.
So fans have to watch both ends of the pitch at the same time to know what’s going on?
Yeah, that’s stupid.Pick an end and watch. Or stay at home and watch split screen.
Yeah, that’s stupid.
My pleasure. If you’ve any other stupid ideas I’m happy to critique them for you.Thanks for your input.
Not really, but it was the rudest thing I could think of without getting points.
Team going first wins over 60% of the time. As soon as it gets to sudden death the pressure on the team going 2nd is huge.

Oh, it’s needed.You're best off focusing that energy elsewhere where it's actually needed.
Oh, it’s needed.
Oh no.This is getting boring. Into the ignored bin you go ho
Came here for ABBA, left because it was about penalties.
Exactly. People want to brush it under the carpet but you simply can’t.Yep, that percentage is statistically significant given the sample size. You can't say penalties are "fair".
