I prefer Golden Goal to penalties but what happens if there is no goal in the alloted extra time?

The fairest way to settle a drawn game is a replay.

It that always the case? In national competition, allowing for injuries and perhaps general fatigue over a seasion, could it not favour a wealthy club with sufficent resources to pretty well play 2 first teams? Whatever, I'd sooner see the result settled by the 11 (plus subs) players on the day.

Perhaps the side who has committed the least fouls being awarded the game?

How about instant disqualification for a team if one of thier players stomps on an opponent's nuts?
