7 points for an away win where away team score 3

3.5 points for a home win where home team scores 2

1.25 points for home score draw, 1.77 points for away score draw.

each team has 3 POWERPLAYS where the opposition can only keep 1 defender in their own half for 7 minutes.

This is what they do in American 'soccer'. Very stupid proposal.

[Duncan Disorderly]

If it ain`t broke, don`t fix it!

They`re bloody Americanising( sorry, AmericaniZing ) everything!

[Diarmuid]

Seriously, are they trying to kill football?

[Ostrich Man]

Waste of f***ing time. Sack the board!

they do not have a penalty kick shootout in regular season games. if the game is tied at the end, they play some extra time and it is still tied, so be it.

 

i am not a fan of doing away with tied games, but i would like to see teams that draw 0-0 getting no points at all.

Even if two goalies play a blinder and have a Finnan/Carra style performance in front of them while forwards hit the bar, the post have several efforts cleared off the line?

 

You've been in Looneyville too long mate. Some of the best games I've ever seen have been 0-0's

Fairly accurate.

But also some of the worst.

 

If the objective of football is to score goals then why should you get a point for failing to score one?

[magneto]

Away win should be 4 points

Home win should be 3 points

Score draw should be 2 points

0 - 0 draw should be 1 point

[libero]

 

[jariiiiiiiiiise]

how cool if your West Ham or Chalton you could put 11 behind the ball and wait for penalties when your playing a big team

 

that sounds like good television to me

[Stevie H]

just leave the bloody game alone.

stupid f***ing nonsense

Home win should be 3 points

Score draw should be 2 points

0 - 0 draw should be 1 point

 

are you serious?

 

ffs

Is it not equally the objective to stop the opposition scoring goals?

[Cobs]

I'd be quite happy to see a penalty shoot out at the end of every game - not to get bonus points or anything but to run as a separate penalty shoot out league, first as a bit of fun and secondly in the hope that come an International tournament England players might be sufficiently practised to win one.

 

[obviously i am aware that i'm in the minority of giving a schit about the England team, so there's no need to start... ]

 

 

i also appreciate that having so many foreign players in the League now we'd be giving practice to them too but.....

Added-Time Multi-Ball

[Guest Anders Honoré]

the 0-0=0points suggestion is not the worst I have heard.

 

It would certainly eliminate the games where one team makes camp in their own half from the first whistle and try and stand the distance. If you start the game with nothing you have to try and play ball to get something out of it.

 

It's not too dissimilar from the away goal rule which also encourages teams that would otherwise just defend all the way to try and get a goal or two away from home as it's worth more.

 

I think it would have a positive impact on football.

i think teams would still come to places like Anfield, OT and the Emirates and put everyone behind the ball and try to score on the break as they do now, with only a shift in tactics (if it's 0-0) in the last 10 or so minutes of games.

Exactly. Besides, they're not going to get any points for getting beat 3-0 either, but at least trying to hold out for the 0-0 might help their goal difference a bit.

[Magic8Ball]

this is one of those Budweiser ads , right ?

 

 

[magneto]

are you serious?

 

ffs

 

Of course I'm not serious ffs

 

This whole topic is ludicrous to begin with but if the Premier League or whoever do decide to start giving different "weighting" to results then my suggestion wouldn't be too far off.

 

Sorry for contributing to the debate.
