With 2 drawn games in consecutive weeks, nearly everyone seems to have some preferred method for breaking the draw. What with extra time and golden goals being touted, it wouldn't surprise to see the team captains settling down to a quick game of stud poker to decide the winner!
This is nonsense. Can we leave the game alone for a little while and see where it is headed? For 150 years, teams have managed to deal with the hollow feeling of a draw — for those who thought they would win, anyway.
What is it about the noughties that there has to be a winner? There are bigger problems with the game than an occasional draw — like the consistency of umpiring interpretations from quarter to quarter for instance!
