      The play offs are shite and only designed to keep Cardiac Arrest Depts in business. It should be top 6 up and bottom six down IMO. That would wake the bu**ers up as would 4 points for an away win, 3 points for a home win, 2 points for a score draw and 1 (as now) for a no score draw.

      Can you imagine the carnage in the Championship Premiership if it were 4 up/down? Hilarious and would dent the historic got money will win attitude of the arrogant Clubs.

      I agree Duck, the play offs are a complete lottery, its what your team does over the season that counts.
