fuck them off, they've always been shite

I want the golden goal back. Settle games via actual football

They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time.

Use replays. If either team can’t be arsed, fine. Nt - aje January 13, 2026, 10:26 pm
Better than penlties was the shootout in the NASL. A player got the ball - evercelt January 13, 2026, 3:58 pm

Countback using shots on target to decide - DT January 13, 2026, 1:25 pm
- Hitting the woodwork counts as half a goal……….nt - LFC Stattos. January 13, 2026, 1:47 pm
- People would just fire in rubbish speculative shots to get the count up, then defend nt - Jonathan Gard January 13, 2026, 1:45 pm
  - BTW its only shots on target, speculative misses don't count. n/t - DT January 13, 2026, 2:13 pm
  - But how long would defending work before - DT January 13, 2026, 2:11 pm
They tried it and it led to very negative extra time. - Brentwood Blue January 13, 2026, 12:32 pm
- Most extra times are negative with or without golden goal... - GB January 13, 2026, 4:24 pm
  - Are they negative because teams want to wait for the 50:50 of penalties? - NickC January 13, 2026, 9:13 pm

  - Classic case of “no, that’s not what we thought would happen when we made this rule change!” - NickC January 13, 2026, 2:53 pm
- It worked well before VAR.....imagine a golden goal now, followed by a 5 minute VAR review...... - Kev** January 13, 2026, 11:59 am
