[QUOTE="jsp, post: 153227, member: 1351"] Penalties aren't really a fair way of seperating teams after a draw but they're the only thing we've got at the moment. Do we go to golden goal and say we play until someone scores a winning goal? That could go on for ages and just isn't really practical, could we have some sort of judges panel and a point scoring system, again not really practical and open to abuse. Penalties are the logical way of concluding a game if teams can't be seperated after 120 minutes. Taking turns in a best of 5 each scenario just makes sense, maybe get rid of the coin toss and the team with most shots on target in the 120 minutes gets to decide who goes first but again that's not easy to record outside of the pro games. I can see why they want to try something else but I just don't think it works unless you also have the 2 clear rule but I'm happy enough with sudden death style shoot outs.
