Away Goals Rule Scrapped

Can't help but tinker can they? Thoughts?

If it ain't broke ....

Then again the horse of credible interesting football has long since bolted and disappeared over the horizon.

….apparently goals only count double if scored by one of the super elite Breakaway clubs.

Makes it more interesting in my book, what would have been done and dusted will now go to extra time and possibly penalties.

late away sickeners were always interesting though

Yes but that's because the away team in the 2nd leg have the benefit of knowing what they need. If you have come through two legs and it's 3-3 does it matter where the goals were scored? I'm saying it in a completely biased way as a top team are more likely to score against us home and away and if by some miracle we do get a late goal to make it 3-1 or 4-2 at home, then a 2-0 result in the 2nd leg shouldn't kill us just because we were a little more adventurous in the 1st game.

And i wonder which of the big 6 were begging for this?

Seeing as they've went out down this route recently, i'd expect Juventus were the driving force.

What a farce, surely this will just revert to sort?

So you believe a team that draws their home game 0-0 but draws away 1-1 deserve to go through to the next round?

Next, you'll be saying penalty shootouts aren't fair.

No, penalties are probably the most logical way of separating two even teams, but a team that draws 1-1 away from home on aggregate really has no business going through.

I think it makes it more exciting to scrap the away goal rules

You won’t see teams putting 11 men behind the ball to secure the draw and win on away goals now and it encourages teams to try and win outright over two legs

I approve this rule

Funnily enough the last time this affected us was in the uefa cup in 79 I think. We beat some Irish team 10-0 over two legs then lost to dukla Prague on away goals in the next round

Everton that
