KernowRed Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 28 minutes ago, Steve Watts said: Good god no....! The amount of park the bus performances from away teams would kill the game as a spectacle. This is possibly up there with one of the worst suggestions I've ever seen in my opinion! Now if more points were to be awarded for goals scored, then that may be a little different, but I'd rather it just remained simple. Accept your opinion Steve, but I thought the away team would have more incentive to go for a result from the start, away win or a draw, ie 3pts or 2pts. The home team would also have to up their game because they would have to go for a win 3pts, whereas a draw would only be 1pt. I only see 'park the bus performances' from both teams drawing at the present time due to the even sharing of points, but at least you may see more goals scored, as you desire. The 3 point format only happened because football pools coupons firms/football league thought a 0-0 score was inferior to a 2-2 etc score draw, and more money could be paid out for a score draw. I would probabaly think not many people do 'the pools' now preferring to gamble on differing aspects of the game. Mine was just a thought and not a suggestion. It would make the league tables a lot different though, whereby at the present, a team could be unbeaten for every game ie draw results, and still be relegated!

BS4 on Tour... Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 46 minutes ago, Super said: teams should get zero points for a 0-0. That's got potential. Another suggestion - (which would never happen) - but wouldn't it be great it teams were just awarded one point per goal scored in each match irrespective of the result?! Carnage!!

adamc6203 Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 1 hour ago, KernowRed said: The phrase often used is '6 Pointer' when only ever 3 points are awarded for a win. A six pointer is referred to as such due the fact that the game could result in a 6 point swing. Start the game 3 points in front of the oppo and win you are 6 points ahead, lose and you're level. it actually makes sense as a terminology.

cidered abroad Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Replacement of the verb "intend to" with the adverb "hopefully". This is not a grammatical comment. Just that intending to do something is more decisive than hoping you can do it. Like promotion to the Premier League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillzider Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 "Back where we belong" Usually used when a so called big club gets promoted back to the top flight. Nobody belongs anywhere in the league and if you get relegated its because you ain't good enough. No club has a devine right to anything in football no matter how big your fan base or history.

North London Red Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 'Away goals count double' - no they don't, and they never have. If the first leg (of e.g. a Champions League tie) ends 0-0 and the second leg ends 1-1, the aggregate score is not recorded as 1-2 (which it would be if away goals counted double). 'Premiership' - it hasn't been called that for ten years now. It's called the premier league. 'EPL' or 'BPL' as an abbreviation for the premier league. Anyone that still refers to Chelsea as 'Chelski' - it wasn't funny in 2005. And before anyone points it out, yes I know I'm a pedant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is that the phrase is now applied to any match between two teams that start the game reasonably close to each other. Or even just to any match that's been decided to be fairly important. Your definition is the correct one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
