Away Goal Rule Changed

Post by MegaBonus »

Just read that for UEFA club competitions, theyve dropped the 'away goal' rule.....not sure I agree...

I've always thought it was an odd rule, why should a goal count double just because it was scored away from home?

It doesn't count double otherwise you'd go through after a 0-0 draw at home and a 3-2 loss on the road. The rule was originally brought in to entice away teams to attack instead of being defensive.

I didn't say it always counts double, but it does in the event of a drawn tie. So you're wrong again.

It's harder to score away with home fans baying for your blood, or the local Mistral or scirocco blowing about the home ground. Ask GIAE, it even impacts SL2 reserve finals games.

So if you draw 0-0 away and 1-1 at home what happens? extra time then pens?

Now extra-time and - should they be needed - penalties will decide such games.

What about scrapping extra time in the 2nd legs and go straight to penalties ? That way both sides get 90 minutes in front of home fans .
