Well for one shocks happen, minnows get a draw or win and it’s great for football when that happens, secondly I love it watching my team win 10-0 .. it’s different, it gives a opportunity for other players to get a run out. If our teams constantly play the same teams on our level I think that would equally be as boring.
Where to start on this post?
How often do shocks happen? Very infrequently, I would imagine ( and cba looking it up, I'm not that interested). Great for football? In the scheme of things, not really, but an occasional morale booster for the "minnow".
When did you last see "your" team win 10-0? Again, racking my brains to remember when. And I presume you mean Ingerland as your team, not your club team Wet Spam, who are more likely to lose 10-0 (couldn't resist ;-)).
"Opportunity for other players to get a run out"? Never going to happen - the FArce want the money rolling in, pure and simple. I suppose you
may get a token player from one of the favoured clubs, so that when they sell them as they turn out to be crap, they can point to their Ingerland cap(s) to boost the fee to the mugs buying them.
Of course it would be "boring" if we played the same teams on our level. We'd be beaten most times as we don't improve by playing "minnows". When it comes to the knockout stages of a competition, we're always found wanting, and the plane is being pre-flighted when the match kicks off.
Let's just have unseeded competitions for the Euros, World Cup, etc, on a strict knockout basis featuring the top 64 teams in that competition, based on Euro/World rankings of each team.
Fanciful? Of course it is. The governing bodies would never allow it, as their money well would dry up as they wouldn't be able to fleece the punters any more.
EDIT: Sorry, I should have said that the match-day experience will be greatly diminished if the format has to change to accommodate common sense.
