> playoffs were introduced for financial reasons, basically.)
possibly but they make for more fun and a longer more relevant season for fans, so its not all bad. > Just because there's a rule, it doesn't mean that rule is fair. I think that is a reasonable definition of fair in a sport designed for entertainment. Someone sets the rules, we all play by them, its fair - its what being British is all about - think about that Alex Salmon! In your "good old days" scenario it was dreadfully unfair on the teams from 4th to 24th cos they didn't get promoted. Even if they tried really really hard. It is awfully unfair that you can't just stand in front of the keeper all game and punch him in the face when the ball comes near - unless you are Duncan Ferguson. ttfn Richard _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman-new.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER (There's it)
