Even if they did count, I fail to see how a loss would be better than a draw!!! even if it was 32-31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS35Red Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Even if they did count, I fail to see how a loss would be better than a draw!!! even if it was 32-31 Because some people don't understand the away goals count double rule. Your eample would mean we won by 30 clear goals and could lost 14-0 at Ashton Gate and still progress. That said, if we were going to lose a game 32-31 instead of draw 0-0 I think I'd take that, think of the entertainment! (and then we could stuff 'em back at AG after tweaking our defence) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS35Red Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 No, I think it's safe to say that YOU don't understand the rule.... I understand perfectly thank you very much but I've come across plenty of people who view it the way I described above. If in use a 2-1 (or 3-2, 4-3 etc) win away and a 1-0 defeat at home would see us through on the ruling (where the ruling only comes into play at the end of the two 90 mins). The example above would have been CP 32-31 BC (OR 32-62) and BC 0-14 CP (0-28) giving an agg score of City 62-60 CP if viewed through the incorrect interpretation hinted at by the thread starter.

Barry Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 The double issue comes form commentators using this analogy in tight games where a side away from home scores to put them ahead and this could mean that the opposing team would have to score twice to avoid losing, as by just scoring once it may be the case the scores would be level, but they would lose having scored less away goals.

SimplyRed Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Rule 2.4 of the play-off rules tells you everything you need to know... 2.4 In the Semi-Finals, the first leg shall be of 90 (ninety) minutes duration.If the aggregate scores are level at the end of 90 (ninety) minutes in the second leg, extra time will be played. If the scores remain level at the end of extra time the tie will be determined by the taking of kicks from the penalty mark, in accordance with the Laws of Association Football. ...so away goals are irrelevant.
