Points Handback Process?

[Katie Borkins 1]

In the Football Association rules (14.2.13.7) it does state that

"...in the event of a football team winning a match without performing to the expected standard of their supporters, their football club (in the form of the board, or equivalent governance forum) shall be allowed by exception to hand points back to the defeated team(s) at their discretion in order to prevent unfairness in the football table."

After playing in fits and starts against Cardiff, Wigan and now Forest, I am not sure we deserve all 9 points.

How would you distribute the points, and why?

If you really think about it we are a disgrace to football

We''re that bad we make the binners look like Barcelona

Probably 4.5 points each to the hapless Ipswich and Aston Villa. They''re both in great need and between them conspired to serve up a 0-0 draw today.

Sounds odd, but i''d give 3 points to Ipswich, purely so that at the end of the season, despite us giving the them a ''''dig out'''' they would still fall short of promotion, again.

That would sicken them.

I don''t think we deserve all our points. Not just because we haven''t played well enough but also because we''ve won them against teams with proper wealthy owners. It''s not fair that they have more money but less points....

Personally I think it is a bit unfair to hand out the points based on which team managed to get the ball into the other team''s net.Far better would it be to have some sort of measure that reflected how the fans felt about the game.A boo-ometer, maybe ? A bit like what they had on Opportunity Knocks with Hughie GreeneSupporters who could not get to the game for whatever reason... garden shed door jammed etc could phone into programmes like Canary Call and boo down the phone

I think Boxing scorecards is the way forwards.

Ten nine-minute rounds run consecutively.

A goal counts as a knockdown so a point for that round deducted.

This way we can score a goal to their zero, and still lose the contest.

As long as it''s not a topless Delia walking round the pitch with a card held aloft announcing which round it is
