new points system suggestion

[Helios Creed]

Ex Wimbledon tosser Sanchez is suggesting a revised points system where you get 2 points for an away draw and 4 points for an away win - he says it would liven things up.

What do you think?

I guess it would make it more interesting on a weekly basis e.g. it would mean that some weeks Chelksi and us get different points for our wins. It would also be tricky to compare league positions though...

Anyone know what effect it would have had on last years totals?

what the **** does Sanchez know about football?

[Reece]

**** all wrong with the current system thank you very much.

[Darth Marty]

No thanks, no need to change it in my opinion.

Sounds like a great idea.

Even better though why not get rid of points altogether and just count up the number of goals scored? That would lead to loads of goalmouth action.

Also we could award say, five points for a goal, and then when you score one you get to take a penalty and if you convert it you get an extra point.

Alternatively you can choose to "go for two" where instead of taking a penalty you put the ball on the centre spot and have two attackers who have to beat one defender and the goalie within, say, 30 seconds.

Also let's get rid of grass and play it on ice, but you're not allowed to kick the ball (which is oval) and you have to use a tennis racquet instead. And everyone has to ride horses apart from the referee who rides one of those little mopeds (a derny) they use in keirin cycling.

And everyone has to wear fencing masks. And the pitch should have bunkers. And at the end lions are let loose on the losing team.

Absolute bobbins. I think the home/away divide is made too much of as it is.

Well,that's conclusive then.

Piss off, you whiney git.

The problem Neil, if that is indeed your real name, is that Sanchez is being serious, or didn't you understand that in the original post? CHOMP

FLMAO!

If I had a mouthful of coffee it would be over my monitor right now.

Four of five points for a win, home/away would be a better option. Then some teams wouldn't be able to place 10 players behind the ball. A lot of the time wasting from minute one would also disappear.

The teams would go out trying to win the game instead trying to kill it. It would be better football and more people would because of that watch it. The result is that the clubs will get in more money.

You missed your final line, let me do the honours...

We will probably sign him anyway. No change to the points system needed to do that. Only a new owner and that will happen very soon.
