I am definitely in favour of timed games with unlimited goals rather than against it, this is just another scenario, with 2 evenly matched teams needing to win by 2 would keep things exciting, fast and attacking.... Over the weekend there were some teams who were winning 3-2 and consequently running down the clock and playing the ball into the corners in the last 30 secs of a game.
5-4 results barely happened at ExCel, but there were a lot of 5-0, 5-1 games, whats the point in making these end up 7-0, 8-0, 9-0??? I think a much better indicator of being one of the best teams is still playing 3 out, being able to track back and defend (Rappers against L'equip comes to mind, Rapper's were caught out on the break a couple of times but still got back and played some incredible defending) and yet still pushing for an extra goal.
