Poll : Did we win tonight?

Yes, we won, but on Penalties.

 

The match finished 2-2, which is a draw.

 

If in doubt just ask yourself - will Lambert's penalty count on his end of season tally?

 

No.

 

Because Penalty shoot-outs are a mechanism to decide cup ties. They aren't part of a football match. If they were we'd have them in every single game.

 

But did we win tonight - HELL YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Anyone that backed us to win otonight, take your ticket to the bookies tomorrow and try and get them to pay out. I think that should give the answer...

 

Anyone who thinks we didn't win should follow through on that belief and forfeit the right to buy tickets for the next round. After all, no win no next round. That should give you a different answer.

whether Lamberts penalty is registered as a goal in the various lists,or not, is really imaterial.

 

the issue here is much more simple,and the same as defines the result in a regular football match: the team who scores the most,by the rules set for that competition, wins the game.

 

We DID Score 5 penalties,Norwich did only score 4. or would you disagree on this fact..?

 

another fact that disproves your point,is the very obvious rule saying that THERE CAN`T POSSIBLY BE A DRAW in the JPT.one team has to win.

 

how could you say that a match ends as a draw,when according to the rules of that competition there isnt that option available?

 

It`s just the same as saying its a draw if a tennis match finish 6-6 in all sets. the Penalty shootout is very comparable to the tie-breaks. according to the rules no match will end as a draw.

 

this match didnt "finish as a draw" as you stated either. the match lasted until the shootout was finished,only THEN was the match over.

My Norwich supporting missus wanted to kill me tonight. So yes, we won, and Norwich lost!

 

Incidentally, I'm glad I didn't bet on this match, but I did have Man U, MK Dons and Leeds to win, and have won a few quid for Christmas pressies. :-D

No, the match was a 2-2 draw, Saints won the tie on pens.

 

It really isn't difficult.

 

Bookies will have paid out on a draw, unless the bet was for a winner "on the night", in which case they pay out on the winner of the tie (and at shorter odds due to the lack of a drawn match option).

We won but nearly didn't thanks to that ragamuffin running on and putting Antonio off!!!

 

That little tosser has been on the pitch for at least 4 games in the last month or so home and away and its getting very boring. If we'd have lost on pens he'd have probably been strung up, and rightly so.

 

I was hoping the steward who carted him off quietly whispered "you made him miss that" to the kid, as Antonio can't help but have been affected by the idiots at the back of the Northam booing as he started his run up just as the steward hauled the kid off Waigo. That lot need to sort their priorities as well if they're too thick to think it might affect the player standing over the ball right in front of them when they've just spent 5minutes doing the same to the opposition in order to put them off.

 

Anyway whatever stops the kid getting on the pitch yet again, I'm all in favour. Bloody good job we had a couple of goes at winning it as it turned out.

So Italy won the final then.

 

I really don't see what people find so difficult here. Or has this just become an in-joke semantic argument?

 

Teams can be eliminated from competitions without losing matches or can progress in competitions without winning matches.

 

For example, in the 1982 World Cup, in the second round, England drew 0-0 with West Germany and 0-0 with Spain. West Germany proceeded to the next round and England were eliminated. Did we lose 0-0 to Spain?

 

When drawn matches were resolved by the toss of a coin rather than by penalties, did this mean teams were winning or losing matches 1-1 etc?
