If that isn't enough ridicule to inject the league some sense, I don't know what else is... -- Lléo

If you can't score on the other team, you can't beat them to score own goals either :-)

I have very clear memories of playing in teams able to overcome more than 10 goals deficits plenty of times as a kid, or to actually concede more than 10 goals on a row. I have actually a precise memory of a game where we cruised from 1-18 to victory, and I am pretty sure I have played in much more extreme cases. -- ale http://ale.riolo.co.uk
