ABBA penalties 12:05 - Aug 7 with 9215 viewsBluce_Ree

The f**k is this shit?

Apparently the filth lost in the Charity Shield or whatever it's called yesterday. After 90 mins they went straight to penalties where they employed the ABBA system.

Team A goes first.
Team B goes second and third
Team A goes fourth and fifth

and so on until some footballing exec gets beaten about the head and neck.


1. LOL at Chelsea anyway.
2. What is this bullshit?

is that what that sh1t was about, I was in the pub and thought I was half cut as I could of swore that Chelsea took 2 penalties in a row, the fella next to me was going "nah mate arsenal scored the last one " so god knows what he was drinking or even watching
who the hell thought this up and thought it was a good idea
still I suppose the winner takes it all

And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles Brian Moore

I quite like the concept - it effectively dilutes any advantage over a team 'choosing' to go first (to put the pressure on the opponent in having to follow) or second (to put the pressure on the opponent in having to go first).
So, no one team goes first or is second throughout the shootout. Both get the pressure of both.

not sure why they had to change it, took all the tension out of it as soon as Chelsea missed it was pretty much over

It also kills the tension as soon as anyone misses as the other team will have 2 penalties to move clear and basically win it, I really don't see the point in changing it

It's the same in tennis, if you serve first in a tie breaker and lose the point you have basically lost as the other player will likely be 3-0 before you get another go

Maybe if they do the penalties before the game starts, then at least one team knows that it needs to go all out to win.

Regular penalties are fine and always have been.

Also, everyone knows that the team that misses first goes on to win 99% of the time anyway.

The official stats say that the team that takes the first penalty wins 60% of all penalty shootouts under the old system.I don't see how changing to the Anna system will even things out at all.And if the figures go the other way will they change it back again?
Still at least the scum lost.

I'm a traditionalist and don't like change but do see this as a positive as it takes the disadvantage out of going second in the shootout. Going first is clearly an advantage (win 60%) and is only gained by winning the toss of a coin. Certainly worth trying.

Where do you draw the line on the advantage in a penalty shootout?Does the team who decides which end to take the penalties gain an advantage that lasts throughout the duration of the shootout?
The 60% swing might be partially explained by the team going 2nd know that they might have to score to stay in it?There will always be added pressure on the player who needs to score to keep his team in it and I don't see how abba pentalties will change that much.

It seems like a cosmetic change.

I would far rather they went for the old NASL shoot out. Which was put the ball down 35 yards from goal and have five seconds (I think) to beat the keeper, who can come of his line to meet you.

They did have extra lines (35 yards from goal) on the pitch which they used for offside, instead of the half way line, as well.

Seemed to me that if the first B misses the second taker is placed under disproportionately intense pressure. Alright when it's the scum obviously but I don't like the concept otherwise.

Whatever system they deploy, you can bet England will lose on penalties.

You know that. Thank you for the music? Not bloody likely.

One time in the pub a friend of mine said how much they hated ABBA's music. A passer-by who overheard quipped "You may as well say you hate gay people".

Cue pending court case by "ABBA" on using/stealing their name without asking.

They should call it the Frank Zappa And The Mothers Of Invention penalties.

Should there be a draw at full time both teams would gather in the centre circle and on the referees whistle each player has to sing Franks mind blowing song "The Voice Of Cheese".

The referee would then blow his whistle and point to one player and his team would win the cup.

I always thought I had a large one but maybe it was just "disproportionately" sized?
What an amazing word!
I'm not knocking you but I am going to use that every day for a week starting with my Morning coffee in Starbucks tomorrow morn when I demand a disproportionately flavoured coffee taste with my caramel.

Here is one. for Wednesday morning.
It was a "disproportionately bad day at the office". We never learn.
