Would a Penalty Drop Kick be a good Idea?

Posted by MontoEel on May 7, 2017 at 10:34pm
I know most people don't like soccer but as they always have a penalty shoot out to decide big matches what do you think of maybe a penalty drop kick from say 25 metres, 30 metres, & 40 metres out to decide big games instead of a golden point?

    After watching tonight's GF and on the back of the WSW v Brisbane game, I think penalty shootouts are a savage way to loose a match let alone a Grand Final. I know that finals have to be decided somehow but for regular round robin matches in all codes, I'm starting to favour the draw rather than a shootout.

      What would be a better alternative in soccer Ken than a penalty shoot out especially in finals, Grand Final, & World Cup?

    I totally agree Pops 100% . I've never been a fan of golden point either. Not a bad idea about 1 point each and then play for the extra point. But the best option like you say is a draw after the 80 minutes.

    Why do you love golden showers but not golden points?

    Why don't we reduce the amount of players in overtime? Maybe make it 9 per side?

    1 point each at full time and then you play for the extra point.

      Good idea

    Ye i agree with Darren 1 point each then they play for the extra point but each team play with 9 per side for a gold try or penalty not a fields goal

    ILL BE BACK

      Golden try, once adopted it would be so successful it would stay that way.

    It should be golden try players reduced to 9.and perhaps your 11, 12 and 13 to sit it out.
