Went to watch us against Sheff Weds at Hillsborough years ago, think it was a League Cup game, 2-2 at full time, it went straight to penalties and all the way through10 players from both teams until only the keepers were left. Weds scored and Tommy Lee blazed it miles over the bar. He was distraught. Its no way to finish any game with some teams now playing for penalties because they know they will be in with a shout.
I remember that game, Johnstones Paint Trophy in 2010, finished 8-7 to us on penalties.
I can see the need for penalties in tournaments, time restraints mean there has to be a conclusion. But in situations like this you have the time to maybe have one replay and then pens with it being the end of the season. Wouldn't need to be at Wembley either, you could hold the replay at any PL ground, all of which could be available.
