Playing for a draw

Too many teams set up to not concede and thats it. We need to stop rewarding that type of football. Basically no goals no points. If you score you get a point. You could be losing 2 0 with 10 minutes but still have a point to play for. Id go further and say you get 2 points if you score 3 goals.

3 points for a win. No point for 1 goal for winning team though.
1 point for 1 goal for either losing/drawing team.
1 points for either team who scores 3 goals.
Each game potentially awards upto 4 points for a winning team and upto 3 points for a draw.



This would really freshen up the league and give the SPL a uniqueness across Europe.

No reason why we cant. Theres plenty of things that could done to improve the league. But nothing will ever change. So frustrating!

Rugby does it..

That must be why Rugby Union is such a good game to watch, with lots of fluid running and passing and absolutely no stop-start-stop-start with a 'penalty' every few minutes --

Hang on a second!

Although I don't like defensive football any more than most, you have to accept that it is often a real skill. And surely 0-0 draws have their own place in the game. Think England against Italy in Rome, for instance, in the qualifying stages of the 1998 World Cup. Dramatic in a different way.

If it's your team playing for a draw it's usually ok and a skill. If it's the opposing team it is pash park the bus stuf

I's also put in a losing bonus point if the losing team scores, say 3 goals.

It is a skill but not an attractive skill thats attractive to watch and certainly wont bring in big TV deals Or the fans back.

I put a point for 1 goal and a further point for 3 goals. So a losing team could get 2 points.
