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:

So we drew the 2001 League Cup Final. We didn’t lose. And Norwich didn’t lose the 2002 Play Off Final.
This is enlightening

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.

And if you backed us to win the Cup you lost. Your bet only lasts 90 minutes as specified. Mine is based on who wins the tie

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.
