Dunno tbh, who cares really... All I originally said was that speedway was the only sport where you get more points as an away team for drawing than a home team... Then BWitcher QC was all over me with insults

Don't stop him/her... It's keeping me entertained during the Peterborough match... Better value than the racing

You know how bad my memory is, I was forgetting that you're a bit thick, so I'll help you out. Rugby Union: 4 points for a win. 2 points for a draw. 1 "bonus" point for winning whilescoring at least 3 more tries than the opponent. 1 "bonus" point for losing by no more than 8 points (the value of a converted try under the law variations used during those seasons). Cricket: A team is awarded 16 points for a victory, with both sides earning eight points for a tie and five points apiece if a match is drawn.

Who said they don't count, the only one of us that has mentioned that is you. It would be "ridiculous" if bonus points didn't count. I'm still waiting for you to acknowledge that the same amount of points are awarded for a draw... It's there written in their rules.. but of course you can't read properly

Zzzzzzzz boring and wrong, give yourself a rosette I'm still waiting for you to come back to me with those rules in other sports

Again difficulty reading/thinking How are you able to get on in life?

You should try reading the rules... Then come back to me

There would probably be riots at a lot of grounds

I genuinely can't remember, probably because more often than not these days it's not an issue a lot of matches tend to be easy home wins. Anyway stop it now, you're only embarrassing yourself

I'm not worried about it in the slightest. I just think it's wrong that when a team draws 1 team gets more league points than the other... As I've already said you wouldn't get it in any other sport

It maybe semantics but it is fact. In Speedway it's league points in the other sports mentioned they're bonus points, for reaching set goals during a match

Again, if you'd read it properly you'd see that I'm not confused by it... I just can't remember it. What does confuse me is whether you can't read properly or can't think properly... I'm beginning to think it's probably both.

They're bonus points... As already discussed

I don't know, that's not my point. My point is a draw is a draw... Except in Speedway

Ahh... Well this is where I would have broken away from the other countries. We're currently rock bottom and something drastic needed/needs doing. I would have gone for Friday and Saturday night

I think FRN has worked... They're just on the wrong nights

I disagree, you always get 2 points for drawing away from home, you don't always get bonus points in the other instances you state

Of course bonus points are different to points... you ALWAYS get the points, you don't always get the bonus points... That's why they're called bonus points, der Anyway... I'll be seeing you next Tuesday

That's bonus points

No... I'll take the bit where he/she's going off at a tangent about every sport being different and the home advantage thing as him/her wanting to change the subject because he/she couldn't read the detail of my original point... as an apology

I'll take that as an apology, thanks

So again... In which sport other than Speedway do the away team get more league points for a draw than the home team? ... Apology accepted

Not more points for drawing though, that's what's ridiculous... please try to understand, you miss the detail in your eagerness for an argument

Thanks for your feedback... so you think that an away team getting more points than a home team for a team is not ridiculous?
