    Here are a few alternatives that I am sent to FIFA for them to consider...

    1. A game of knock-out Wembley
    2. A game of British Bulldogs
    3. A game of conkers

    Any of the above could be used to replace the penalty shoot out.

    Re: I always liked the idea of taking a player off each every 5 minutes

    Wonder why after all these years he suddenly wants to change it?

    Now maybe I am just being cynical here but, could it have anything to do with an English team winning by this method? I know that Man Utd won the same way, but that was against Chelsea.

    When England and English sides are losing in penalty shoot outs I cannot remember him saying the were bad a idea then? but I reckon someone will now come along with a link to prove me wrong:rolleyes:

    And?????????

    Man Utd was against Chelsea, (both English teams), Liverpool was 30 yrs ago, give or take a couple of years. It does not seem that long ago I watched Grobbelaar doing the jelly legs routine!!!!!

    I did think something similar to this, but maybe I'm cynical too.

    Thought it was strange that he said this just after an English team beat a German team by penalties..........

    I'm pretty sure it was AS Roma they beat and I think the Italians are, statistically, as sh.it as us at penalties so you're right it doesn't count. I wanted Roma to win but I knew as soon as I saw the jelly legs what the headline was going to be.

    Yes it was Roma and it was in Rome about 84 I think, not sure but about then.
    Blatter never said owt when Krauts beat us in World Cup/Euros, about how he disliked pens!!

    30 years ago? Bloody hell I know Gerrard and Carragher et al are gettin on a bit but it can't be thirty years since they came back from 3-0 down to beat AC Milan!

    I believe in fairies, the Easter bunny, and Keith Hill.
