If neither team can win, extra time with no away goals is fair. If anything the home team in second leg finished higher and deserves the "home advantage" if it's gone that far.
May as well make the away teams penalties worth 2 goals as well, right?
Agreed. Same crowds go to both games and weather the same at both grounds. One side having to score 1 goal less in injury time than opponent is massive advantage, and unfair when it is the team that is lower on table that gets that advantage of an extra 30 minutes to count away goals.Quote:

This will be big, pretty bad behaviour by all reports, nnswf really need to start showing some balls here
they should name and shame the players.
A lot of people know exactly who
If we're lucky, Newysports probably have it all on film :rof:Quote:

I really, really hate the idea of Extra Time goals having the away goals rule applied to them, to be honest. Extra Time goals are huge as-is, they don't need away goals tainting them. I agree with NNSW's rule setup and I wish it was universal. ET goals having away goals applied to them isn't fair to the team hosting the final game because they never had the opportunity for away ET goals
Based on that, you might as well just scrap extra time then, because the home team never had a chance for 30 minutes of extra play at their ground. Or you could apply the same rules to the biggest club football competition in the world...Quote:

As for the extra time stuff the away goal rule is naff. Get the Pens on. Better still go back to major minor semis this home and away is boring to me
Agreed, but this current set up won't change so clubs all get a piece of the finals pie ($$$).Quote:

Why we can't go back to one legged affairs where it either always sudden death or 1v2 winner to gf and loser play winner of 3 v 4 etc
Knockout football where it decided on the day is exciting
Sure give the higher ranked team home ground advantage of your like
But let's get back to what makes finals football exciting the brutal finality it offers
Maybe. I dont think there would be a great deal of difference. I think over the two legs its about as fair as its going to get.Quote:

some exciting second legs in the champions league
Bayern Munich 4-2 Juventus — 2015-16 — Last-16 second leg (agg 6-4)
Barcelona 2-2 Chelsea — 2011-12 — Semi-final second leg (agg 2-3)
Borussia Dortmund 3-2 Malaga — 2012-13 — Quarter-final second leg (agg 3-2)
Manchester United 4-3 Real Madrid — 2002-03 — Quarter-final second leg (agg 5-6) (doesn't seem like it was that long ago)
Monaco 3-1 Real Madrid — 2003-04 — Quarter-final second leg (agg 5-5)
Deportivo La Coruna 4-0 AC Milan — 2003-04 — Quarter-final 2nd leg (agg 5-4) (pirlo hinted that Deportivo could have taken drugs for the match lol)
Barcelona 6-1 Paris Saint Germain — 2016-17 — Last-16 second leg (agg 6-5) (This was crazy)
Some pretty top tier matches in the second leg.
I think you get some boring matches when first plays forth, there is usually a clear difference between the two teams.
You forgot one of the most exciting in recent times, Liverpool and Dortmund in 2016 Europa quarter final. That Anfield second leg was insane!Quote:

Boring posts these
Comebacks are more memorable when they occur in the same gameQuote:

Perhaps you're right. My opinion doesn't agree with you. I believe the current format is fair and exciting. I think it's a win win situation for the most part as it stands.Quote:

Seems only the players like 2 legs cause the 1 offs are too much pressure and tears fall too often.
win both and you're the best
Doesn't work for me that way personally. The complexities of home and away add to the excitement for me.Quote:

All 3 grand finals streamed live on Bartv from 2pm.
18. Olympic 2-1

Firsts: Edgy 2-1
Jaffas
Olympic
Olympic
I think the experience of the Griffith brothers and Jobe on hunter stadium pitch will be massive.
18s 4-0 Olympic
McBreen can't coach
GVE going to be a huge loss based on that
All the possession all the field position for the EJets
But weak as piss in both boxes
20s Maitland 1-0
Scored a scrappy goal and dig in and defended hard
Olympic hit the woodwork 3 times twice in the last 10 mins the crossbar denied them
Huge defensive effort from maito on the big field
