kurtsimonw Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Some telling me Arsenal really needed to score tonight as away goals count double. Where did this ever come from? They don't count double. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 They do when scores are level at the end of the tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 They do when scores are level at the end of the tie. Exactly, if and when. An away goal doesn't count double in general. Away goals in general. Cause games to be far too defensive. Penalties are a fairer way of determining things anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 20, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2014 An away goal never counts as "double". That's not how it works and I'm another who gets pissed off by people saying that. If the scores are level then it's whoever has MORE away goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 No, if you win 3-0 away from home in the first leg, the other team has to win 7-0 to advance. I tweeted that once and Jonathan Pearce retweeted it, essentially confirming. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tweeted that once and Jonathan Pearce retweeted it, essentially confirming. If they won the 2nd leg, it would be away, so they would win 14-6 on away goals agg. Or was that part of the joke that may have gone over my head? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunRickyRun Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 How about : Away goals count 1+(1/2)^n where n is the number of the away goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wittmann Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 It's only one away goal that counts. I.e 0-0 1st leg, 2-2 2nd leg would be the equivalent of a 2-3 win for the away team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) I think the away goal counts as 20 goals. Edited August 20, 2014 by AVFCforever1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tweeted that once and Jonathan Pearce retweeted it, essentially confirming. Why would they have to win 7-0? If you are away from home and win 3-0, that means in the 2nd leg they are away from home and a 4-0 win would put them through 8-6. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ismail-villa Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Everytime i fart it sounds like a mix between someone gargling water and boiling water. Already had 2 poos today and it's not even noon. Not good. (Sorry Voinjama). (Oops sorry Donnie). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviramsey Posted August 20, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2014 Talking of work toilets Went into a cubicle for a pee (one of the two urinals was in use by a chatty guy who would no doubt start talking if i stood next to him... I flat refuse to talk to another male while I am holding my penis) and it looked as though someone had tipped a beaker full of orange sunny delight over the seat and then sprinked on some pubic hair. This leads me to ask: 1) who pees on the seat2) who has orange urine?3) can you 'shed' pubes just by urinating AnimalsOrange urine is hard to miss. Blame it on:* Medications. Medications that can turn urine orange include rifampin; the anti-inflammatory drug sulfasalazine (Azulfidine); phenazopyridine (Pyridium), a drug that numbs urinary tract discomfort; some laxatives; and certain chemotherapy drugs.* Medical conditions. In some cases, orange urine can indicate a problem with your liver or bile duct, especially if you also have light-colored stools. Orange urine may also be caused by dehydration, which can concentrate your urine and make it much deeper in color.Courtesy of the Mayo Clinic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Bizarre people who are walking along a pedestrian walkway only fit for 2 people side by side, decide to walk quite squarely in the middle to make it difficult to both overtake and pass coming the other way, also will almost certainly walk at a pace which is so slow a chronically arthritic amputee would get impatient with them. AND THEN there is the moment they decide to just stop, without warning, in the centre of the tiny walkway they've decided they own and start to rummage through a bag that could carry all the worldly possessions of a Togolese town, and when I am at breaking point they scowl and tut at me for nearly walking into them! If you are one of these people you are up there with Hitler in terms of negative contribution to society and it should be legal to shoot you on site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 People who refuse to wait for others to alight from a train before storming aboard in a selfish attempt to get a seat. Words cannot describe how much I utterly loathe these people. You're doing it wrong. Those people are the highlight of my day. The look on their faces as they bounce off me while I attempt to walk straight through me never disappoints. Haha, you are so like me. Satisfying to see them confused that a person (me) is there, after they walk into me and fly backwards, whilst I am still standing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaajax Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 The Thursday before last, a colleague of mine emailed in to tell us that he couldn't get in that day because he had "torn his calf muscle" while playing Cricket for the company team. He strolls in the next day, no limp or any sign of a 'torn muscle' and still managed to go to the gym at lunch time (not sure what he actually does there if anything). Of course when it came to us having to move some UPS batteries around, he could 'hardly stand'. He's been off on at least two occasions because he's woken up with a stiff neck...
