It may be disrespectful but we have decided not to break our necks for the 300 mile round trip for this tonight after all.
If any H&V friends would like our 2 Holte End tickets to be passed on to them, then PM me and I’ll reassign them to you according to the terms and conditions.

Brilliant stuff Dave delivered with the usual tone.
And you almost avoided Trainspotting references.
At least you didn't mention Gregory's Girl.
Ah shite!

Wasn't that Cumbernauld or somewhere like that?
Correct Dave.
1981 bloody hell!

I miss it, it's taken away some drama.

Yes, it was horribly cruel at times, but you can no longer see a tie swing from one team going out to a sudden reversal with just one goal.

Same here, I was disappointed when they did away with it.

Do away goals count double? Asking for a friend

Never understood this "rule". If you lost 1-0 at home and lost 5-4 away you didnt go through 8-7 on aggregate.

no  you lost 6-4 on aggregate.. the away goals double rule only applies when the score over 2 legs is level
