    The aim in footie is to score goals - to ensure a win you must score more than your opponents. It's not rocket science.

    So why are teams awarded a point in a game where they couldn't score?

    3pts Win
    1pt Score Draw
    0 pts No score draw/Loss

    the answer is to give 2 points for a score draw and 1 bonus point every goal scored above3

    The other main aim of a game is to defend well and stop your opponents from scoring. Surely that must get you something?

    But good defending is only a starting point for winning, scoring goals is the ultimate aim, or the game suffers...

    Fair point, but how many times do you hear top, and I mean top, Managers say that the first thing they look for is a clean sheet?

    Because if you keep a clean sheet the job is easier - you ony need one goal. If you can't manage that no point!!!
