there must have been worse games than that amateurish shambles that we watched last night, just cant remember when.

The better State wonOriginally Posted by wavemaker
What do you guy's think of the Golden point knowing that QLD was playing for it as well
I was thinking that if QLD kicked it, i won 2 bets - QLD to win, and QLD 1-12.
The boorish game was 1 try short of my 21-30 total points scored bet.
I'm off the bandwagon - Go the Blues. Blues to win by 30 in SOO II.
Lucy Harris smart smart smart, Martin Harris dumb.
gooday kevin, how ya hittin em. yeah the better state won and i spose the golden point is alright as long as your team kicks it. im a blues supporter, as ive lived south of the tweed since i finished high school, but i felt no sense of a great victory, just relief that we were able to stagger over the line. a very inept performance all round, and who was that turd of a ref, was he blind, stupid or both.

I thought referee Bumstead didn't go too badly in the first half - but when the pressure was applied he certainly was found wanting - I think golden point is a crock - even if Qld had scored the win it would have been a silly way to end the game - nothing at all wrong with a draw in my books - for once I would like all the players involved in a drawn game agree to walk off the field at the end of the 80 minutes and take a point each.

No talk of the golden point before the game but when it happen's everyone has an opinion I supose
I like it, but they should take the Field Goal out of the equation - it's a soft finish. Should be the old schoolyard fave - NEXT TRY WINS!
After 80+ minutes it just becomes a game of 'Forcings Back' with a pot shot after 4 or 5 tackles. Make them put the ball down over the line!

well all i have to say is that the better side didn't win ....
.. the fitter side won.
I like the idea of having to score a try to win it, but by the end of 80 minutes of SOO footy, the players are absolutely knackered... and scoring a try at that stage might be impossible
whats a golden point?
Like a 'Golden Goal' in soccer - first to score wins.Originally Posted by markTHEblake

oh , sudden death.
Seems pointless - (no pun) 10 mins extra seems tobe much better idea
Blakey, they are introducing tie-breakers in the AFL. They can't decide between playing round the world (taking kicks from several angles) or handballing at a target with 10, 5, 2 points, etc.Originally Posted by markTHEblake
Wasn't there all the whinging a few years ago when the third game was drawn and qld retained, not won the soo. So they introduce a system to break the draws and now we're not happy.
I don't like it either. If you draw you draw.
Every one goes home empty if it's a draw this way someone has bragging right'sOriginally Posted by goughy
Onewood I must disagree - with a draw the result is that both sides gave their all and neither of them came out on top - which means that no-one is the loser - golden point is a stupid situation - and yes I would still say the same if Qld had won !

The crowd needs a result so get over it QLDer's it's 2004 You old fella's need to move with the timesOriginally Posted by damoocow
The crowd does not need a result ! - I think your hole in one has resulted in a hole in the head!
damoocow
you need a result coz you're not getting one here you wanta go golden point on thisOriginally Posted by damoocow
onewood, are you saying NSW were better on the night, just because they kicked a field goal first?
An option used in touch footy up here , and probably south as well , is the drop off . After regular time each team must take a player off the field, leaving 12 on 12. After a period of time you make it 11 on 11 and so on and so on until a TRY is scored. Less players mean more gaps means more chance of a try. Pointless saying all this as it has no chance of taking off, just a thought.
The current system is a good one, and although it turns the game into a field goal-a-thon, it is a great spectacle that creates enormous pressure on every player on the field. Just ask Craig Butterfingers Gower.
Moocow, you've obviously never attended a drawn league game.Originally Posted by damoocow
Frankly, while I was disappointed that Qld lost on Wednesday night, I concede that the conditions of the game were known to everyone on the field on the night, so I am very uncertain as to why Qld decided to kick off at the start of the extra time knowing that NSW woud go whole hog to get a field goal kick in....
But mostly, I am disappointed with the behaviour of a carload of uncouth, moronic, juvenile, a$$holes that I encountered last night - who felt that it was appropriate behaviour to toot their horn, flash their lights, yell out the window, and tailgate me halfway home just because I was driving the car that still has QLD no. plates on it..... it was scary, and it was uncalled for.... it is a f$%%ing game of football after all.... it is not worth causing a f$%%^ing car accident over.....
I am really ANGRY......

Did you get their plates?
Just seems to be a synonymous thread of behaviour with that code of football at the moment. These guys were as stupid as their league idols it would seem.
Lucy Harris smart smart smart, Martin Harris dumb.
Nah - I didn't manage to get the plates Fishy - I was starting to get a bit panicked because they followed me for ages and I was going home to an empty house 'cause Matt was away in Sydney....
I don't frighten easily, but they were really full on.... I wasn't sure how long they were going to tailgate me for.
Cheers,
