I think penalties are a different kettle of fish because you need to be able to shut out all the associated noise (crowd, situation, previous successes/failures, goalkeeper) to successfully take penalties in a shootout. The best penalty takers don't seem to be affected in the slightest by stepping up in a hostile atmosphere.
edit: or what Mags said.

I think the day might come when extra time is abolished in all tournaments anyway. Having an extra period that's a third of another game in duration is quite odd. It might not happen in the near future, but one day I think it'll be straight to penalties.

I hope so, it's silly. 90 minute game isn't it, either replay (not going to happen) or pens right away.

Nah, overtime/extra time is a common thing across most sports, it's not a weird football only thing.
I don't see any issue with extra time in a straight knockout tie, I think there's an issue with it in the 2nd leg of a 2 legged tie.

Used to be what they did in the League Cup/play-offs

Speaking of the League Cup we're away to Peterborough in the first round of the "Southern" section. I know there's reasons for regionalising it and the boundaries have to be somewhere. But that's about 100 miles further away than many midlands clubs in the "Northern" section.

Yeah as much as I dislike away goals I feel this equalises the disadvantage of playing 30 minutes of extra time away from home.

Fame at last. Just watching a new documentary series about Ghislaine Maxwell. Of all the footage they could have shown from her time as director of Oxford United they showed a goal against the mighty Greens, and I was there. Okay I’m not seen on screen, but no man is an island.

On his day Ray is a cultured footballing defender.
When it's not his day he is an utter liability.
Nice lad though, hope he does well tbh.
In other news the next game I attend will be against Rangers

Yeah, I'm not convinced he's the right man for the job, but we're running out of time.
