hypochondriac Posted 13 December, 2009 Share Posted 13 December, 2009 Why do you take issue with him? I don't understand why some people have vendettas against other people on a message board. It makes no sensicle. Really good run of form we got going at the moment, hope we can keep it up and slowly grind our way towards the playoffs. If our form stays near the best in the league, this will happen. Agree on both counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 13 December, 2009 Share Posted 13 December, 2009 I agree. I keep telling Liverpool fans they've won 3 and drawn 1 European Cup finals and have 1 draw in the Champions League final. One of my fondest memories was our 2-2 draw at Old Trafford in the FA Cup in 1992. Can't remember the last team we actually won there. They won the competition on penalties but drew the matches... duh. 90 minutes is when the score counts, wins after extra time are wins aet but the bookies will pay out on the draw, "wins" on penalties are just draws, just as penalty shootout goalscorers don't count towards the scoring charts...

The9 Posted 13 December, 2009 Share Posted 13 December, 2009 So England drew the 1966 World Cup Final then? No, they won after extra time. They drew in the 90 minutes. Brazil and Italy drew the 1994 World Cup Final 0-0 aet, then Brazil won on penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadoldgit Posted 13 December, 2009 Share Posted 13 December, 2009 It is a real shame but it seems that some of our fans cannot handle the good run of form and seem to be waiting for us to lose again before they feel they have anything to say. I don't get it, after the last few years you would think they would be euphoric? Perhaps they are still pinning for Pearson??? And by the win, winning on penalities means that you have won the match otherwise what is the point of them???. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La BoIS Saint Posted 13 December, 2009 Share Posted 13 December, 2009 In the days before penalty shootouts ties were decided on the toss of a coin. Presumably no one is seriously saying that correctly choosing heads or tails has any bearing on the performance during the match. As I understand it for official records purposes a game decided on penalties goes down as a draw. For betting purposes payouts are generally based on 90 minutes (+ added time!) play, unless it is a special bet. Extra time counts for offical results purposes so a win in extra time properly counts as a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Fry Posted 13 December, 2009 Share Posted 13 December, 2009 I've taken out the Cup games, inc. the draw against Torquay! Pretty good reading, apart from the 'blip' in the middle. Wonder if Lambert or Lallana can bag a hat-trick soon? I think subsequent versions of these threads should take out the cup games altogether, as the point is surely league form and our unstoppable progress towards the play off final . Form doesn't matter in cup games because once you've lost a game (or gone out on penalties ) you're out of the competition. And for the love of god it would stop the tedius debates about the Torquay game. Especially as the proper answer to the question was answered a lifetime ago. The match was drawn, and the cup tie was decided on penalties. We won the cup tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm back and will be at Elland Road (unless any SWF members spot me and keep me drinking in the pub all afternoon ) Don't expect any decent results until after Jan 8th when I fly back In my defence the major reason for my p!ss poor track record over the years is all my games are at the start of each season, so it's a bit of a chicken and egg scenario, am I just unlucky coz we are crap at the start of each season, or are we crap coz I am back in the UK :cool: And of course the games I see out here are already jinxed by being Live on SKY Please let me get this monkey off my back and let my 3rd Elland road visit be a lucky one (so far 1 loss and 1 draw so a win is over due) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wild-saint Posted 14 December, 2009 Share Posted 14 December, 2009 Are penalties not used to decide who wins the game?

mikec Posted 14 December, 2009 Share Posted 14 December, 2009 So if I put £30 on Saints to WIN the fa cup tomorrow, and we beat Man Utd on penalties in the final betfred won't pay out?????? Exactly, a win is a win is a win! If you had bet on Saints to win the cup overall, the bookies would pay out. If you had specifically bet on the result of the final you would lose. As others have said, it's the result after 90 minutes that usually counts for betting purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are talking about penalties to decide the outcome of the match, not extra time or time allowed for stoppages. It's only a matter for the historians and usually such matches have the riders a.e.t. or 2-2 at full time, so-and-so went through on penalties. So England won the World Cup in 1966, Italy knocked us out of Italia '90 after the match was drawn. Personally I have never considered any team to have won anything if the final was decided on penalty kicks, you might just as well toss a coin.

Hatch Posted 14 December, 2009 Share Posted 14 December, 2009 It was a draw. The tie could have been settled on a game of poker, javelin throwing, soggy biscuit, anything. Just happened to be penalties as there was a ball and a goal lying around at the end, so they might as well have made use of them. The game of football was a draw.

It does not give you the same satisfaction of winning in the initial 90mins I agree, but you have beaten your opponent within the agreed rules. I myself would rather the teams play until a goal is scored, even then that would not be within the 90mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
