    I think it’ll be better for entertainment, every first leg the away team is too scared of conceding rather than trying to win.

    or you thinking a neutral venue one off?

    Anything mate.

    Just feel if there’s no away goals rule what’s the point in home and away ties :giggle1:?

    I’ve always felt one of ties are better because they cause more upsets.

    Don’t know what they’d do for qualifiers but the best CL in recent years has been last year with the one off games in the knockouts which basically felt like a Euro’s/World Cup.

    Surely the main reason for home and away continues - ie, neither team disadvantaged by not getting a home match.

    What it definitely will mean is more games going to ET and penalties as will be easier to draw on aggregate.

    From an entertainment perspective I would like one off ties and no seeding, but UEFA would never do it for obvious reasons

    How is there no point? It means equal for both teams.
    In recent years teams that got a draw away have just sat and defended their home game. The away goals rule in extra time was * stupid too, although I think extra time unless played at a neutral venue is stupid.

    Looking increasingly like we are going to enter A FIFTH or SIXTH season in a row with a defence that'll probably be reliant on Nir Bitton in it to TRY and see us through the qualifiers.

    What the * has to happen befor the * that run the club realise THIS....DOES.....NOT....WORK!!!!

    If all seeded teams get to play offs we will be unseeded in play offs and will play either Shakhtar Donetsk or Benfica.

    If huns get to same point they would be unseeded and drawn against a choice of
    FC Salzburg
    Olympiakos Piraeus
    Dinamo Zagreb
    Sparta Prague

    Am I right in saying if we get past Midtjylland we are guaranteed European football?

    I think they could have it as a mini tourney before season start all qualifiers play in a knock out tournament to get into group stages with CL and EL places being played for

    Priority for us should by getting past midjtyland so we have EL. Anything after that is a free hit.

    Huns can get Slavia Prague I think, not Sparta. Unless they've sold players they should be capable of beating them again, I would fancy Salzburg as well. Not sure about Olympiakos or Zagreb.
