Blackpool Jags Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I am very interested in your opinions about my suggestion on the football scoring system. I think your ideas have potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I am very interested in your opinions about my suggestion on the football scoring system. Your system suggests that a goal scored from outside the penalty area is intrinsically more valuable than one scored from inside. I disagree with that. Many goals scored from inside the area are the end result of brilliant play, while some goals from kicks further out are largely due to luck, or a goalkeeping error.

Your point is right, but the percentage of the goals from outside PA by defensive errors in not higher than the cases of goals from indide PA. And what do you think about my point, giving 1 point for corners? By this the numbers can be drastically reduced. And the goal mouth should be enlarged to 8m*2.5m.

Corners: No. There is too much of an element of luck about corners. Enlarge goal: No. I don't want to go to matches that end up with basketball scores. However, I would consider doubling the width of the goal if each team could have an additional goalkeeper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The present 7.32m*2.44m is the result of yard system. Football must go metric. 8m*2.5m goal would increase the number of goal, but highly unlikely doubling the number of goals.

sigesige00 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 But football is all in yards. Why change it? The football rules are written in the metric system internationally. For example, pitches for international matches should be 68m*105m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 There is nothing wrong with the current scoring system and nothing wrong with a draw. A backs to the wall draw when you are being thrashed is just as good as a win. Don't take that away. A goal is a goal and the team with the most goals wins. And as for goal-line bollocks technology .... don't get me started ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football must go metric. 8m*2.5m goal would increase the number of goal, but highly unlikely doubling the number of goals. That'd be increasing the size of the goals by a football's width at either side. Think back to every time someone's hit the post. With 8m wide nets those would all have been goals. You may be only increasing the total size of the goals by a small percentage, but you're increasing the area a keeper can't get to by a not insignificant amount. Scorelines would increase considerably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Kerr Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Get Lex Grant signed up again Sexy Lexy scored one of my favouritist Thistle goals ever at Hampden. So slow at getting back up the park from a goal kick that when the Queens Park keeper sclaffed the ball out it fell to Lex in acres of space. He still had the keeper to beat mind you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JockinOz Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 I liked the Glasgow Cup - Iain Jardine anybody? Think it would be great to see it back and taken at least semi-seriously! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
