Fullerene Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 That's right - if the game remains even - there is a poetry competition to decide the winner. Don't get me wrong here. Penalty shoot-outs can be extremely tense, nail-biting stuff and in all honesty probably a million times more exciting than poetry reading - but that in a sense is my point. Personally, I regard penalty shoot-outs as a bit of a lottery - that can have a real stigma for the players who miss. I would much rather see one team or the other win in normal time. Any incentive for them to do so should be encouraged. Me, I would be absolutely terrified at the thought of having to read out a poem I wrote to a full house at Hampden. Hopefully the players would feel the same way - play out of their skin - score a goal even. Please note that I am not being totally unbiased here. I am sure every Inverness player would be able to write a lovely poem about a bridge and a castle or something like that. By contrast, other teams who constantly hear songs they should not be hearing - well they would be lost for inspiration. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eindhovendee Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Can't believe nobody has thought of this before. Ayr United are bound to have an advantage with their Burns connections although us and the Arabs are fucked if we take after McGonagall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajwffc Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 No it should be replaced with the team captains opening and then eating a can of Surströmming and who ever eats it the fastest or without being sick wins the match for there team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Rangers would get Carol Ann Duffy I assume. That doesn't rhyme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle_do_nicely Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I'm more a fan of the idea that we replace penalties with 8 mile style rap battles, tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim O'Grady Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 It's an abstract idea that may well bring fear to some hard centre-half & we'd have a laugh but it sounds much easier than advertising pizzia. f**k off McGonagall Cos Grimbo's on the ball.

Gaz Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Someone on here a few months ago did a poem in an identical style to Silvery Tay by McGonagall. I can't remember who it was but it was fucking brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 To replace shoot-outs with poems is the plan, This might be favoured in Japan, As small Japanese poems will have to do, I think I'll give you all this high-coo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
