Gribz 745 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 For anybody that wants to be bored,Boyd is playing Fixed that for you I want the winners of this game to go up. Ive had a sneaky feeling Swansea would go up for weeks but it would be nice to see Forest back in the top flight. Do away goals count in the play offs?? If so its a decent 0-0 for Forest as they can score at Swansea who would then need 2. An interesting final would be Cardiff v Swansea. I wonder if that would be switched to Millenium stadium or kept at Wembley. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No away goals are not used anymore, apparently its more advantageous to the team finishing lower in the league having an away game second so it was scraped. Wikipedia is your friend. The semi-finals of the promotion playoffs in the Football League, despite being two-legged, ceased to employ the away goals rule from 2000. As away goals scored in extra time counted double, the side finishing lower in the league gained an advantage by playing away in the second leg, thus giving them 30 more minutes to score an away goal. The rescinding of the away goals rule has affected the results of several play-off semi-finals. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive always thought the same for Champions league and UEFA cup matches also. After 90 mins of the 2nd leg the away goal rule should be scrapped as it does give the away team an extra 30 mins to score. In fact away goals should be scrapped altogether. The first leg could be played in pissing down rain on a terrible pitch but the 2nd game could be played on a sunny night with a smooth pitch given the away team an advantage again. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
