ABBA system of penalty kicks.

[Thunder Bolt]

The EFL is to support the trial of a reformed format for penalty kicks, by introducing the new ‘ABBA’ penalty shootout formula into EFL competitions during the 2017/18 season.

In simple terms, the team taking the first kick in each ‘pair’ of kicks will alternate as follows.

Both teams to take five kicks unless knock-out process is required.

1st kick – Team A 2nd kick – Team B

3rd kick – Team B 4th kick – Team A

5th kick – Team A 6th kick – Team B

7th kick – Team B 8th kick – Team A

9th kick – Team A 10th kick – Team B

11th kick – Team B 12th kick – Team A and so on…

At least this system will still mean that the winner takes it all.

Amongst bloody sin bins, video refereeing, no offsides and other batshit mental and terrible ideas, this is definitely one I'd support.

Beaten too it!

The first penalty taker will say Take a Chance on Me.

Glad to see the penalty system has been Bjorn again.

When all is said and done it's all about the money, money money but I guess that's the name of the game.

The keeper will be the Man in the Middle.

Sorry, I don't believe a word of this! Football authorities making a sensible change that actually improves things? Come on.......it's just not possible! Pigs will fly before that happens!

These bloody song references are just going to go On and On and On.

When All is Said and Done, it might work.

Winning is still The Name Of The Game though.
