This attitude has infected other games like the NRL and AFL, but at least there if the score is still tied after extra time it will stand.

Draws in games where they "must" have a result allow all the profiteers to make more money with the replay. We couldn't possibly have two "best" teams.

Other games have violent supporters too. They haven't yet taken to burning down the stands full of people to relieve the boredom.

Nothing like a bit of uninformed nonsense to start the day.
