Errrrrr.....
It is. It’s why you get stats like Rodri being undefeated in his last 2638482 games despite losing the penalty shootout to Madrid last season:

Pedantic I know, but it isn't. In knockout competitions, there has to a winner. Where it's different is in the group stages (if there are any), where it's all about points, doesn't HAVE to be winner on the day. The EFL are just trying a variation on a theme.

Yeah. If you put money on blues drawing the 2001 league cup final you’d have won some money.

£20k for participating, and £5k for last night's draw 🙂

That’s why it’s shit having penalties in a league format.
We drew the game, and therefore got a point for drawing it. We then lost a tacked on penalty shootout. If you’re saying we lost the game then we shouldn’t get a point, rewarding failure at professional level is ludicrous.
Not only is this garbage used by PL clubs to get their players fit it also has its own mental rules.

I don't even know what cup we were playing for. League cup or Bristol Rd?
I honestly think a point for losing a game on pens and 2 for winning on pens is superb. And I’d use it in every league game actually

You make some good points there. Hence why I said allowing 3 prem first teamers is totally wrong. It should be U21s only.
