    Are you also thinking of reducing the field size too

  • DIAMOND 7 years ago

    1. "If no goal comes after the first half of the extra time, the four players substituted come on to REPLACE FOUR in the team to play the second half.”

    This does not make sense.
    They left, so when they return, they come ...

    The four come back to replace another set of four. The number of players still remain at 7 each side.

    I don't agree with him, though; BUt I don't know why.

    Thank you.
    I did not get it.
    Now I do.

    What do you think of 135 minutes (Regular 90, Extra 30 and Golden Goal 15) before penalties?
    Too exhausting?

  • Ackrim 7 years ago

    Brilliant analysis bro. I agree with all your critique of the writer. However I disagree with some of your suggestions:
    1. The golden rule in itself is controversial and provides room for various manipulations be it fairly o ...

    Thanks, bro, for your input.

    1. "room for various manipulations be it fairly or unfairly e.g offside goals by a host nation being upheld; a soft penalty given to a team".

    Don't these exist already in 90-minute and extra ...

    Only 7 after all players are tired and weak? Many will collapse and die.

    IT SHOULD BE KICK-IN JUST LIKE FREE-KICKS CORNER-KICKS AND GOAL-KICKS..
    ALSO, PANISHING A KEEPER FOR DIVING TO SAFE A BALL AND HAVING A CONTACT WITH THE ATTACKER THAT WHICH RESULTS IN PKs SHOULD BE CANCEL.THE KEEPER HAS EVER ...

    punishing a keeper ...not panish,,blame davii's guud stuff,,,

  • Emperor Rasheed 7 years ago

    Ghanaweb is not serious,because they have rather published the picture of Pastor Ogoglo Quarter,instead of John Amoah's picture.

    STALLION SOMETIMES LOOKS LIKE ME.TOO MUCH WAKYE IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU.AS FOR THIS ONE NA SUPER STALLION,,

  • Bob 7 years ago

    Hmmm, not a bad idea. Sounds very good.

  • Obuama 7 years ago

    What if after all these no goal is scored? Your suggestion does seem propo, and comes back to what you claim should be abolished.

  • Bob 7 years ago

    But I can see how reducing the number of players will make the game more exciting.

    I think the reduced number of players should play the full 30mins, after which they can play penalties when no winner emerges.

    I think t ...

    I think this time you had your suggestion wrong. In my opinion all the 11players should be allowed to take the penalty when it comes to the shoot out. Just like Senegal 92 when Ghana lost to ivery cost.

    This is a ridiculous idea coming from a "Football genius", who has once upon a time, influenced the football nation across the world. This idea is not what football needs after a 90 minutes of hard fought game that ends in a ...

    Mr.Amoah, you have done your best for soccer, and it is time you retired from your research work. You may be good with your head when it comes to soccer,but I don't think you have ever laced your boots and ran on the pitch be ...

    To make it more exciting after the extra time instead of penalties they could introduce a new strategy called "footboxing". This would involve setting up a boxing bout of 5 rounds (to replace the five penalty kicks) between t ...

  • concern citizen 7 years ago

    Please have you calculated the distance each player covers during each game? After the 90mins do you know the amount of energy each player has lost? so then if only seven players are going to cover the same pitch then please. ...

  • Abu Issah 7 years ago

    I don't think it will be fair to the players, 7 players running around the large field? oh no

  • Abu Issah 7 years ago

    I disagree with him, it wouldn't be fair to use 7 players on this large pitch. a very big no

  • ohrrrrr 7 years ago

    does he realy know the size of a football pitch? how can you reduce the number of plyers at 90 mnts and over, this is bogus.

  • STEVE 7 years ago

    This latest suggestion fro Amoah is nonsense. I don't think he has played football in his life. What does he mean by reducing the players to seven (7) in the first half of the 30 minutes? It will not work that way. He must th ...

    sounds great

    nice

  • SLIMMART 7 years ago

    Ebei....Do you want to kill the players? Or are they going to play half park?
    Even 11 players plus subs are visibly tired during the 90 minutes. How can 7 manage on the whole pitch for an extra 30 minutes?

    As much as it ...
