Well I dunno, you could argue that the home team then have a big advantage if the away goal doesn't count in extra time...

But it does count in extra time, doesnt it?

Without doubt, IMO. If your home ground is Anfield, look the **** out

Think you misunderstood my question...i was referring to the away goal in ET.

Of course. I was referring to our home support. Evens itself out IMO.

Riiiight...course it does...

Exactly

[Nic83]

Riiiight...course it does...

So you don't think if a tie finishes level, that the home team would have the advantage in extra time if the away goals rule was abolished?

I am not going to argue with you on this DJ, cos I have thought about this a lot also. However when teams are losing their stamina I truly believe the home support helps, so in extra time that would hopefully give them the advantage.

TBH though if they said E/T away goals did not count as "away goals" (eg double) I would agree wholeheartedly.

I wasnt taking it from the away goals rule being abolished. If it was abolished, then yeah, but it isnt abolished is it?

Naturally the home support helps. I doubt it 'evens it up' though.

If they said away goals dont count after ET, then yes, the home side naturally has the advantage. But they do count, dont they? I'm after clarification on this.

Stop answering me with stupid questions and read over the thread again.

I said:

Of course it's abig advantage playing at home second. It's up to you not to go away and get stuffed though

You said:

Except if the tie goes into extra time, and they then have an extra 30 mins to score an away goal..."

implying that the away team have an advantage if the tie goes to extra time because an away goal counts double

I said:

implying that home advantage snuffs out the away goal advantage

and then you for some reason said:

But it does count in extra time, doesnt it?
