Just glancing at some league stats on the FAI site ( http://www.fai.ie/FAI/Domestic/Background.htm - surprisingly informative), I came across this note:
"POINTS SYSTEMS
4 points - away win, 3 points - home win, 2 points - away draw, 1 point - home draw in 1981-82."
Since I was only a few months old when this bold experiment took place, I wonder if anyone who experienced it first hand could tell me whether it was deemed a success? Well, obviously not, since the system was changed to three points for a win the following season and back to two points until 93-94 (according the FAI site.) How did it go down at the time, I wonder?
