I know it’s because of the virus but I think a last 16 knockout tournament in a neutral country is a great idea going forward.
How lucky are a shitehouse amateur channel like BT to get a high profile mini tournament ,hopefully this might hasten the end of replays and the annoying away goals rule
Yeah I get that but it strikes me as an unfair way to do it,i also find it impossible to keep track of during game,a straight knock out is my preferenceAway goals were brought in to stop teams turning up and parking the bus as was the reason to increase wins from 2 points to 3 in the domestic leagues. In the main it has worked. Older fans will remember going to home European games where we were drawn at home first and being bored to tears and ending up not going to these games. Fenerbache still haunts me.
Our last home game v Real was not our usual game. It wasn't quite parking the bus but we were scared of conceding at home.Away goals were brought in to stop teams turning up and parking the bus as was the reason to increase wins from 2 points to 3 in the domestic leagues.
