Daft questions (football edition)


Recommended Posts

Can match day programmes only be bought in the city on match day or can you order them online ?

 

You used to be able to get a subscription and have them delivered for the season but not sure if you can do that anymore.

Just hit me that it would be interesting to watch a game where you're allowed to punch the ball. Obviously part of the game would be very different, but it would remove all the contentious penalty decisions.

Anyone else interested in seeing a game like that or believe it could possibly be better than the game we've got now?

Go watch some Gaelic football.

What is a 6 pointer? Never understand the term

 

A match where you can simultaneously gain 3 points but also stop a rival from gaining 3 points by beating them.

Crucial game against an opponent as directly affected by the result as you are. So you win and gain 3 points but deny them 3 points too = 6 points.

It's a cliché but if you are playing a team you are level with or on similar points the theory is if you win you gain 3 points while denying your rival 3 points and hence the term six pointer.

Remember those ask the referee articles in The Guardian or something? Where the reader was presented with a situation (e.g. a defender knees it back to the 'keeper, is it a back pass?) and they have to work out the outcome? Is that still a thing?
