Just switched on the sky coverage of Spain v Norway. They put up a group table with points as the first column. Is nothing sacred in football? Have never seen this before. Is this a new thing?
New Points Tables for the Euros?!

If it ain’t broke and all that.We must alert the church elders
FIFA are sitting with £2.7bn in cash reserves. Do they really need to constantly tinker with stuff?

Played, won, drawn, lost, goals for, goals against, points.
If it’s not that then it’s plain wrong.

To be fair a hate all this modernisation crap, tables a mess, low block ect ect ruining it
Football in 30years will be fucked if they keep trying to evolve it into something different to what he has been for 100s of years.

I broadly agree however some developments have been for the better . Shin pads , goalkeeper gloves , extra subs, and possibly VAR could prove worthwhile .
However much of the rest of it just seems like change for changes sake

As a famous man once said ‘football is a simple game, complicated by idiots.’
Think you are having a go at the wrong people, it's most likely just Sky graphics. This is the UEFA website.

Good post, to be fair. What the fuuck are sky playing at?!Think you are having a go at the wrong people, it's most likely just Sky graphics. This is the UEFA website.
Aye, it's really annoying. I think BT or someone else done it when we were in Europa. Just change for change sake.

I'm 28 and am now finding that I don't understand young people or change and that what I don't understand scares me. Keep the points column at the end, round up the rat bastards trying to alter the status quo and burn them.

That wasn't even a bad change.

To be honest, most people who look at league tables look at the following in this particular order:
1. Points
2. Games played
3. Goal difference
4. Then if they want to make excuses for anything - they’ll analyse the rest of the pish
Makes sense to arrange the columns like this.

It not been the same for 100s of years , wasn’t long ago keepers never wore gloves , things naturally evolve.

Scandalous, next teams will be progressing in the World Cup groups by virtue of a better fair play record

Was it coming from the Spanish feed?
Spain always have done points first. Or at least for as long as I've read papers here.

It's the way the Americans do it.
No it doesn't lol. Why does it make sense to have people change what they've always known for absolutely zero reason?

Yes it does lol
Points tally is the most important thing, so it’s unsurprising that it’s going to become the first column on the table.
Did you freak out when teams were awarded three points for a win instead of two?
Did you go off on one when you found out that GK’s could no longer pick the ball up from a pass back?
Times change, don’t be scared of change mate. You’ll get used to it.
No there was valid points to the cnanges mentioned. So do you find it an incredible hassle to scroll your eyes along to the normal place for points then
Or qualfying for the champions league after being humped 6-1 on aggregate.

And there’s valid point for these league table changes.
i.e most important column is the first column (points tally)
No the only reason is it is Americanised. If the away team starts appearing on fixtures first are you going to just go along with it because some half wit decided?And there’s valid point for these league table changes.
i.e most important column is the first column (points tally)
I don't understand this notion that the most important thing must go in the first column at all.

Mate you're obviously really wanting to cling onto this notion that I don't like any form of change whatsoever for any reason. I really don't know how you arrived at that conclusion from what I've posted. What I find unnecessary is changing something that has worked perfectly well forever with no problems at the whim of a half wit.
I've posted many times about playing a 60 minute match to combat time wasting. That would be a reasonable change for an actual purpose.

Just because it puts you out your comfort zone for a few weeks doesn’t make it a bad idea.
Similar to Sky Sports changing the channel numbers a couple of years ago. SSN going from 404 to 408 (or whatever it was).
You’ll get used to it.
What was this big problem with scrolling your eyes a fraction along to the right to where you know the points would be that you have always needed solved? Did you find it challenging or something?
Gonna umwatch as life is too short and it's going nowhere. I don't like it you don't mind it. Let's get on with the rest o our days now

Couldn't give a fűck about the sky sports channels and its not similar at all
“Change for no particular reason at the whim of a halfwit”
100% similar
