And what do points make?

Posted by Steve Orme on June 19, 2007 10:17 AM | 

So the Sweeney has had a word with that loveable Cockney soccer veteran Ted (The Hat) Sherringham.Cor blimey gov, strike me pearly pants.
Tel Boy has had his tie-ups felt on the subject of swopping speeding points with West Ham team mates to avoid the drop into League Three Month Ban.
I know some people do this but don’t think Shel Boy would.
What a great Idea this would be for football as a whole. Three games to go, relegation looming and you borrow some points of one of those perennial mid-able teams that must be as much fun to support as a family of ten.
Passing on points has become common place. Swinton Insurance recently surveyed UK drivers to find out how many people would ask a friend or relative to accept penalty points on their behalf to avoid a driving ban - with 12 per cent of drivers admitting they would swap points.
The truth is that drivers will pay fines gladly but feel penalty points are too easy to earn and a punishment too harsh when they cost continued employment. Yes, I know the best thing is not to break the speed limits but, well you people in glass houses.
Next you will be able to sell spare space on your licence on ebay.
