Empty points? Rubbish! (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nonsense

This could be a double definition.

'empty points?' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'rubbish' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for nonsense that I've seen before include "Claptrap, hogwash" , "Bunk" , "folly" , "Baloney" , "Words or ideas that don't make sense" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
