Yes. This has been universally panned. An awful lot of people on 606 seem to be proposing an alternative:
3 points for the win
1 point for a score draw
0 points for a no-score draw
0 point for a loss (of course)
Encourages teams to go for it to at least get a goal.No! I am NOT in denial!Comment

Personally I like things just as they are; some 0-0 games are very entertaining.Originally posted by IJM View Post

SOME 0-0 games are entertaining. A lot are not. But equally not all 1-0 or 2-0 games are entertaining. The 0-0 games you are on about are those end-to-end matches in which it just happens that no-one can find the back of the net. In other words, both teams are going for it.Originally posted by Joey Jones View Post
0 points for a no-score draw removes the incentive that a lot of teams have to sit back and defend the 1 point they started the game with. Instead it means they start with zero points and have to go out and score a goal to earn their minimum 1 point.
I think it is a constructive way of encouraging more interesting football.Last edited by IJM; 15-03-07, 02:47 PM.No! I am NOT in denial!Comment

Sky Sports asked a few managers about this last night. Ian Holloway's response was class.
After saying the idea must be some sort of joke the interviewer mentioned that it was fans who had come up with it. He waited a couple of moments then asked if these fans had been asked their opinion in a pub. After a few ales.
Top bloke is Holloway.What have I learned, Mr Mackay? Three things. One - bide your time. Two - keep your nose clean. And three - don't let the *******s grind you downComment

Have they got nothing better to do than sit around and come up with these crap ideas?
Absolute bollocks.Dreams come true. Without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them.

hate all this with passion...
it's a simple game lets keep it simple, why do we have to Americanize everything. things are fine as they are...
so the football league will scrap draws but the premierleague will allow them, football should have the same rules world wide, thats why fifa is what it is..."I have decided to escape, to defy the shogun. Today I will begin walking the road to hell. But you will choose your own path. So, soon you may be seeing heaven. Choose the sword, and you will join me. Choose the ball and you join your mother, in death. You don’t understand my words, but you must choose. So… come boy, choose life or death."

Totally agree.Originally posted by Diego View Post
And I think the responce on here suggests that real fans wouldnt want this crap. As Budwieser suggests, we do the football, they do the beer!
Seriously thats what it seems like, a daft commercial. Why not have Multi ball in the last 5 minutes and monster trucks at half time too?Forwards.......Comment

To be fair, Monster Trucks would be coooool

It would mean that we'd stand a chance during our obligatory scoring drought at the beginning of each season!Originally posted by desertscouser View PostBrilliant idea. Theoretically then, a team could win the league without scoring a single goal in open play during the whole season
Whoever is responsible for the idea should be shot.Comment

I think Chelsea had them at one point if you remember their pitch before a game against Charlton! Stanford Beach!Originally posted by Cacodemon View PostTo be fair, Monster Trucks would be coooool

The MLS had something similar to this for a while. It was some hair-brained idea that they had to "appeal" to the "casual fan". Eventually, they realized that their core supporters (and I'm sure this includes all the players too) thought it was stupid, and they scrapped it to try and erase the laughing stock factor.Originally posted by Joey Jones View Post
Somebody at the Football League has got Blatter syndrome. There is no way that this will happen.
Of course, if they introduced this in Prem, England might eventually win a shootout at a major tournament.Comment
