Teams playing 2nd leg at home have the advantage even more than before
and you don't think the team with the higher seed during group stage deserves that advantage?
The rules are pretty simple now. Beat your opponent over two legs of football fair and square by goals. If you wanna go suck up the entertainment value by parking the bus in either match, that's your prerogative, tactical approach and problem to deal with if it goes against you.

Re: UEFA scraps away goal rule
It's crazy how the most worthless tournament in the world had it right. I loved away goals until the Forlan goal in ET against us. ET away goal was literally a crime against humanity.
I am all for the Carabao cup setting where both teams get 90 mins to score away goals but if it goes to extra time, away goals don't count double. I don't mind it being this way either, this is one status quo change I can live with. To be honest even though celebrating the away goal was a next level feeling.

Re: UEFA scraps away goal rule
It not just round of 16 though
How about quarter finals and semis?
It makes it even more likely to go to extra time now in which team who host 2nd leg then has the advantage to play 30 more minutes with home support without worrying about away goals
Plus first leg becomes even more of a must win for home team otherwise they have to win the away leg(with away goals they may not have to)
Away goal rule has been responsible for some of the most memorable CL knock out ties

So the fans of the other team can get fucked?
The issue with the previous law has always been that it remained in effect after extra time. They should have kept it but removed the away goals rule if the match went into extra time to make it fair to the home team of the second game.

Re: UEFA scraps away goal rule
Was it better when the team at home parks the bus in first leg ? Never made sense to give such importance to away goals imo
Win an away game 3-2 is not necessarily better than winning 1-0. Football is also a tactical battle taking place and i don't mind defense being rewarded. The game is the game no need for mickey mouse rules to make it more fun.
The away goal rule is less fair to smaller teams
Juve vs Lokomotiv: 0-1
Lokomotiv vs Juve: 2-3
Yet Juve absolutely deserve to advance ?? meh

Re: UEFA scraps away goal rule
Rules are introduced to encourage the flow of the game all the time.
Anyways, we have a small sample size of games right now, and unless this becomes a clear trend, it won't be an issue

Re: UEFA scraps away goal rule
I think Weare getting carried away.
There has been 2 matches, in one the visitor scored 5 goals and in the other Madrid got dominated.
Let's wait and see.

fucked how? pls you sound hyperbolic
the issue that Sina raised above for further stages in the competition i didn't think of yet. But i would say let the deciding factor be... higher seed, then most points, then most goals scored (both group stages and KO-stage so that it encourages more attacking football). If it's still tied after that, then virtual toin coss the son of a bitch, goddammit

Nish is right, just have away goals but if the 2nd leg goes to ET then they stop counting extra. Simple and fair.

Why should the fans of one team (and the team also getting financially shafted) be deprived of supporting their team in a CL match?
It has always been a two-legged tie to include both sets of fans who cannot realistically travel around Europe easily.
The hyperbole is the casual dismissal of stadium-attending fans based on "seed points".

The NFL, where teams are franchises and move cities every decade or so, where they piss on home fans for more lucrative deals in other cities.
Sure, that's the same as Inter fans not being able to see their team play a CL match because Liverpool has a better "seed".

I'd just like to add to keeping the tie like history when the two legs are played over 7 days rather than 28 now, the squad, intensity, emotions everything drains down for the second leg being played after a month.

Just to give an example, if away goals was still a thing, my shirt and pants would be off with that first Liverpool goal vs Inter in the 77th minute considering Inter's fearless performance.

Good point about home teams being able to push more
Though I don't see anything unfair about the rule itself as long as it doesn't apply to ET (as suggested)

Re: UEFA scraps away goal rule
One thing I agree with in terms of abolishing the away goal rule.
Since there is no seeding in elimination rounds other than being a group winner or runner up, it's too much of an advantage for the team playing at home in the 2nd leg of tie with the away goal rule. It was huge.
Now, it's still an advantage to have the second leg at home... but the home team in the first leg can play more recklessly. It doesn't matter if they win 3-2 or 1-0 anymore... they just need to win.
Since so much is a lottery as opposed to proper seeding both in terms of who you play and if you get to play the 2nd leg at home., I'm for it.

Re: UEFA scraps away goal rule
The away goal is absurd, no other sport has something close to this. A tie is a tie, regardless how many or few goals were scored.
I still remember the 2008 Chelsea-Barca game my first real introduction to this idiotic rule. Barca scored a late goal to tie the game, and they advanced. At no point in 180 minutes of football did they ever lead the series, I remember thinking how can anyone justify such rule.
Maybe a rule deciding the winner based on # of minutes leading the tie makes a lot more sense. At least there is a justification.

this fan argument is ridiculous to me, everyone and their mum has a TV and internet access so watch it at home you bozos. If you want home ground advantage go fucking earn your higher seed.

So basically, what I said initially was correct.
Your suggestion is for fans of one of the teams (and the team itself) to get fucked out of watching the match and supporting their team.
As if watching the match on TV is the same as watching it in a stadium

Re: UEFA scraps away goal rule
no my suggestion is one-off matches could work if all else fails, i don't give a fuck about the fans watching in stadiums..
Will probably make the entire spectacle better and more fun as well, as there won't be that 20-day delay between matches that Nishy mentions. And underdogs will have a better chance at making fairytale runs.

Again, you are just confirming my point that your suggestion is basically for fans of one team to get fucked, as if football doesn't have anything to do with the fans. You are confirming it with every post, and yet claim my initial post was hyperbolic
So underdogs can go in a fairytale run against without their fans watching because of their lower seed
The only way a one-off game approach can work is by playing all matches in a rotating neutral venue every year.
