RULES for the final qualifier Oct 10/Nov

Hi everyone, I'm not a crazy fan of football but have some idea of the rules on engagement for this home and away fixture.

Can someone please confirm:

1) Will away goals count double for this fixture?

2) At full time in Wellington on 14 November, what happens if the teams are tied on aggregate even after the away goals rule?

Will they have ET? Will there then be penalties? Will they instead play at a later date at a neutral venue?

3) What happens to the losing team - are they knocked out of the World Cup Qualifiers for good?

Thanks :)

1) Yes, but remember the only count double in a draw.
2) I believe ET then Pens.
3) Going home.Michael2009-09-13 15:11:26

yup definitely ET then Pens

Actually in 1.) If the teams have tied aggregated score after two legs of the playoff; either by win and lost games apiece or by drawn games, then the team with the most away goals will win the playoffs. The away goals are not doubled but merely used as a deciding factor.

2.) Full extra-time and then best out of 5 penalties then sudden death penalties. Note that there is no golden goal or silver goal rule and that the whole extra time is used.

3.) Losing team is out of the competition for good.AllWhitebelievr2009-09-13 16:28:55

well, at least until next time around!

Silver goal rule = the whole of extra time is used regardless of whether goals are scored. It is the alternative to golden goal where the winner is decided by who scores first.

Actually Silver goal rule can end the game after the first period of extra time.

i.e. if the scores are locked at 0-0 on aggregate and AW's were to score on the 100th minute mark, and keep that lead until 105th minute (end of the first period in extra time) NZ would win the fixture.

Although there is no Silver goal rule anyway timmymadden2009-09-14 09:05:51

I'm more interested in whether there will be a friendly kick about between fans, followed by some sugar rich exotic Middle Eastern tea....

TeeDubs vs Auckland City PM as well.

Salmon, you would seemingly be the man in the know. What does the Council/NZF have planned in the days leading up to the game?

We've tried to convince them not to play NZFC that weekend but i have failed.  Apparently the schedule is too tight to have a week off.

They have changed Waitaks game to be against Manawatu on Sunday so I think both those sides are likely to be here (Waitak talking about being at the TeeDubs game). Hard News2009-09-15 11:40:52

won't/can't comment about NZFC, but WCC is hoping that the activity on Queen's wharf square on match day creates a real presence-freestyle footbal, street football, giveaways, Chicago bar is right there- the stadium is ten minutes walk. i suppose having 30,000 plus football fans in town will no doubt create its own buzz, and someway justifies a variety of activities on the day- meaning that there is no reason why there cannot be stuff happening in town/newtown at the same time-

& there will no doubt be other city theming in the week/s leading up.

there is a meeting with WCC and NZ Football events crew in a week or two to see whats up- maybe post some good ideas on here? what do you want to see- remembering that realistic budgets need to be met!*

*In the current financial situation, as the cliche goes

Huh? Did you mean to add something Oska or are you just going around summarising threads now

Just pointing out it had already been said.

Not that it matters, but I also pointed out when the silver goal rule was dropped.

Got my tickets yeterday (in the White Noise area). Four psyched up Aucklanders looking forward to a road trip. Now we've just got to learn the song.

how many tickets have been sold at the rof so far ?

Yeah it would be good to know that. i don't think it would be that much more than the 7000 that had been sold a week or so ago. but you never know. 

Rumour says it spiked since last weeks confirmation of Bahrain and result over Jordan.

Think it was 9k, hoping for 10k by the end of the week.

what are the chances of us getting a permit to block Kate shepard place of to traffic and getting a liquour licence for the footpath and road? With reagrds to directly outside the backbencher anyway. Probabaly just up to the entrance to the parking area of the apartments.

Cheers HN. 10k its getting up there.  Would be awesome if it was a sell out. then they could set up a big screen in Frankits or Queens Warf, for those to watch, like the Tennis Majors and that.

Loving all these ideas for Blocked of streets. Back bencher, Four kings, Chicargo. The WCC is ualually pretty good at getting behind these sort of things.

Posably  Worng thread, but any idea if the NZF or White noise will be prodcuing All White Scarfs. White Scarf with balck writing All Whites one side, New Zealand the other. Same as the NIx ones really. Woudl definatly get one.

Wow I am Physic. they look choice as.  

Check the scarf thread again.  I've put an image up of what we're working towards (about 50% likely at this point).

you can try-ring the street activities team at WCC

I have spoken to someone at the WCC and it looks unlikely we would be able to get the whole road closed of for that day as the costs involved would be prohibitive. Looking at getting permisiion to use the footpaths and carpark areas though.

Getting SERIOUS now.

Yes it does.

Yeah I don't think it does either, would be good to know for sure though

According to wikipedia it depends on the competition, UEFA yes, CONCACAF no etc. Not sure about AFC/OFC, or whether it's determained by FIFA (who btw have no set laws in their rules of the game pdf file). 

In the paper the other day it mentioned that away goals does not count in extra time.

liverpoolfan12009-10-11 19:35:53

As far as I know, extra-time goals are counted in the away goals factor. Two seasons ago, the UEFA decided they didn't for the Champions League . The following season, the went back to the normal approach i.e. extra-time goals are counted in the away goals calculation.

How many tickets sold?

I think ET goals do count under the away rule, it's penalty shootout goals that don't for obvious reasons.
