But we played a bit better yesterday.

Do we get some points for that?

Sadly there are no "artistic impression" marks in football.

Even though "Some could say that the difference was two referring (sic) decisions, the width of the post and a mix up between the goal keeper and an otherwise very good 17 year old!" Luton still put the round thing in the rectangular thing twice to our zero and therefore gain all the points on offer, which was of course only because they were "a team spending two and a half times our budget".

Perhaps football could be marked like a school report, with "effort" and "achievement" given equal importance to help the less able feel thay have gained something? On the other hand, "effort" marks for the Daggers at the moment??? Maybe not.
