Away Goals

Are you for or against the rule?

For me it is an old out of date rule that means home sides in a knock out tie are far more interested in not conceding than actually winning their home tie.

It, in my opinion, means that teams set up far too defensively at times.

It was brought in a long time ago when teams didn't know the places they were going to, teams they were facing or pitches they would play on. This generation is a world away from that with access online and far better travel to see everything about what you will be facing.

For me a goal is a goal. If a tie is a draw after 2 legs it should go straight to penalties.

Some old firm derby games seem quiet on tv, I would not use that and think that it was quiet in the ground. Would be ridiculous thinking.

In fairness tests have been done. Brittania was the only stadium that could compete with Europe and the old firm

link?

And just asking so jukebox hasn't been to a CL game south of the border. That's all I need to know

Not even a city fan, thought i'd just call him on his BS.

My brother is a city fan for his ills.

You can't even fill your stadium for CL games, let alone have a full chorus behind you.

I went to man u benfica last year.

Great stadium, but everyone was just taking snapchat videos. Very disappointing

That winds me up.. most kids seem to just sit on their mobiles the entire game. Wtf is the point in even going if you’re looking at a screen the entire time

I can't find the test where Stoke were loudest.

Anyway, this one shows man United were loudest, and miles behind us
