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.

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...

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???.

I'm euphoric old Saint, I was extremely euphoric last night and I'm just getting changed to get a little more euphoric this afternoon!!

 

Ps. It feels great to be a Saint, enjoy it, embrace it, live it, love it, eat it, breath it, we've got our club back. No Lowe, no relegation, no crazy experiments just football, winning football.

 

COME ON YOU REDS!!

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.

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!

I remember being peed of at burley for LOSING the playoffs against derby..

 

I was TOLD that burley was unlucky and did well to beat derby..

 

well, im happy to see the torquay game as a win as it shows burleys record as being that little bit poorer...as that means we lost both games against Derby that time

You're spot on. However, we were slightly unlucky - did you forget that Leon Best own goal?

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 :D.

 

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.

It will all come to a grinding halt on Saturday ... 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 :p

 

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)

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.

Exactly, what a nonsense. Did Liverpool only draw the European cup or Germany etc not beat us in the Euro 's all those years ago???

What about when you let a goal in at 90+ 4 does that not count.

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.

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.

Lost first leg 1-0, WON second leg 3-2, lost play-off on penalties. You can't lose a match when you score more goals than the opposition!

If we draw next week v Luton, then beat them in the replay,

 

Does the first match suddenly become a win?

No because the laws of the game and the agreement the outcome/winner is decided is that there is a replay if a winner is not decided in the first 90 minutes. In a one off deciding game then the winner was saints. Against Derby in the play off semi, we won the 90 minutes but lost the game
