Azeem Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 It's a multiple choice poll, choose between the first three and vote between the last two for the away goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azeem Posted June 8, 2019 Author Share Posted June 8, 2019 I either like a single match with extra time and than penalties or replays without away goals. A double leg competition is just plain boring for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted June 8, 2019 Administrator Share Posted June 8, 2019 Depends how many teams involved and if involved in other competitions that may take precedence. Or do you mean International cup competitions? The reason I make the first point is because it alludes to points made about the League Cup here in UK. I don't think teams in Europe should partake in it. Then you have the FA Cup where I don't think replays should be played and it should be decided on the day. It varies from each competition. 2-legged games work well in Champions League but I'd do away with away goals - if it goes to extra time in the 2nd leg, it's 30 minutes extra for the away side in that leg to get a goal that the home team didn't get in the first leg.

Burning Gold Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I've voted for two legs with away goals because that's the best format for a cup competition. I could be persuaded to get rid of the away goals rule for extra time, but then you still have the issue of one team getting an extra half hour at home on top of the advantage of playing the second leg at home in the first place. Maybe you get rid of extra time altogether and just go straight to pens, but you'd lose a hell of a lot of drama if you got rid of the away goals rule. With all that said, domestic cup competitions are often seen as something of an annoyance (I think this is @Stan's point) and a lot of teams don't take them seriously. Increasing the number of games by going to two legs would only mean you see more of that, so maybe the best format overall is one leg, no replays.

I genuinely think they'd not be that bothered to have the League Cup not part of their calendar for that season. It's a relative distraction when you weigh up the priority of other competitions (league, CL/EL, FA Cup). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted June 8, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted June 8, 2019 This will do me and extra time in the second leg and then a penalty shootout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
