You are being pedantic and silly. The semi is one game played over 180 minutes.

No it isn't. It's one tie - two games.

You have to view all goals in the context of one game. A game of 4 halves if you will.

But even if it was one, it could end up in a draw over the 180 mins and City could go through after penalties. Then all they have to do is win one game... or even win another penalty shootout

So what if it goes into extra time and penalties in the second leg then?

Why don't you try shutting the **** up and stop trying to be a smartarse responding to everything I say?

Steady on tiger, are you having another one of your emotional outbursts again? Could this be another 'calm august evening' or 'packet pub' moment that is developing?

If they were separate games both teams could come out even.

Four halves = Two games. There can only be two halves in a game.

Games can be 90, 120, 180 or 210 minutes long, even longer in days gone by. The play-off semi is one game with one result .. a winner and a loser.

**Observer** · 28-02-16, 15:38

OK a bit of Logic 101

Q. Why can't you determine the winner of an aggregate score game after the first leg?

A. Because the game isn't finished.

Conclusive proof that it is one game

FFS. It's a tie decided by the aggregate score over two games. It really isn't hard to understand for everyone else

Unfair stick? Slade could come up with a cure for world hunger, and people here would still be asking "where's the salt?". He's doing better (league wise) than Mackay did in his first full season.

Malky's side had two more points than Slade's does after 34 games... and a much weaker squad.

And about four years ago to the day they were trying yo recover from losing a Cup Final on penalties.

What planet are you on, mate? Slade has signed some crass players, is inflexible and naive tactically, is incapable of making meaningful substitutions, possesses no charisma and is incapable of firing up his players, has relied completely on his backroom staff, has alienated virtually the whole of the fan base, can only function in the lower leagues and is clearly only Tan's lap-dog.

Yes...but besides that?
