Away games were harded back in the day for various reasons (look it up) and teams, players and managers who forced it are long retired. Today, there's a number of teams, managers, players etc. who would like to see this rule gone. As for me admitting the rule is doing it's job, try reading the rest of what I wrote about it. You example of West Germany is a whole another issue and has nothing to do with argument at hand. A straw man that. I'm all for improving competition. Just because a rule was developed decades ago to adress issues they had back then doesn't mean it should never be re-evaluated. Rules change. You didn't answer to my two questions at the beginning of my later post. Here's one more, if they took out this rule do you think football would go back to what it was in 60s and every team would just park the bus when playing away? Now, go easy on those lame personal insults, all we are talking about is a rule in football ffs... |
Except point out the insult because the are none if you think someone responding to your post is insulting you that's your own personal issue otherwise you're fabricating something because you don't have much to stand on, want to talk about strawman arguments look at your post it's essentially "But that was a long time ago things are different now", it's like saying human rights shouldn't exist because we're not living in the dark ages.
The example of West Germany shows you that people don't have the mentality you'd like them to have so the game had to be changed to stamp such things out, I read the rest of your post by the way, you admitted the rule is doing its job then went on to say you don't like Atleti as well as come up with no counter argument for the rule.
Your two questions were already answered, with out the rule Bayern would not have attacked as hard as they did as 2-1 would mean going to extra time and penalties, the rule meant that Atleti's goal counts towards their head to head so Bayern could no longer hope for extra or penalties and had to win the game outright with out response. Yes Football would revert back to exploiting tactics probably even more so now why? Because things are more money driven now, grind the win out and progress, more teams would park the bus away.
