Away goals to be scrapped in the CL?

[Vienna_70]

I’ll be very disappointed if that happens.

I like the away goals rule; it can make a second leg very interesting.

Don't you fucking start!

I like the idea. It gets a bit ridiculous when teams have had a bad home leg and have conceded an early away goal and they need to score 3 (for example) to win the tie rather than equalise the aggregate score so hopefully it should keep second legs open for longer and make football a little bit simpler. The question is what’s gonna replace it. Extra time on partisan venues are obviously gonna favour the home team in the second leg. Maybe straight to penalties?

Agree, it would be backward move

Exact opposite of that.

 

[Mayor West]

If games finish 1-1 and 2-2 no team deserves to go through more than the other.

Good move I say.

 

[mosssideblue]

Exact opposite of that.

Not for the first leg when the visitors can simply shut up shop

It can kill games too, liverpools goal last season against us killed off the tie, all goals should be equal the sooner they get rid of away goals the better.

Yeah because that doesn’t happen now.

It will definitely keep games alive longer.

I'm not sure there's an alternative that won't have it's own problems.

I honestly liked how they did it in the League Cup previously, as much as everyone else didn't. Having an away goals rule solely after extra time compensates for the fact you have to play for longer at an away ground. Again it's not great, but like I said I'm not sure what is.

It’s not rocket science.

It’ll be back within two years when they realise what they’ve done to first legs as spectacles.

One team turning up with a back 9.

9 at the back? Well at least it won’t come as a shock to us then
