Talk:2010–11 Football League Cup

Including League Abbreviation in the table
Any thoughts on including the club's current league in each round's table? Here's an example of what the first round north table would look like:

On the one hand it's a little more cluttered. On the other, it's more informative. Readers often want to see what the big upsets are and which lower division teams still remain. Simianvector (talk) 07:38, 12 August 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't think it clutters it that much, and it is a lot easier than me previewing a club's article if I'm not sure what league they're in. -  Chrism  would like to hear from you 15:16, 12 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Despite disagreeing with the reversion, I'm a little halfhearted on re-adding it, just because I still think it looked cluttered. What are the thoughts on using color rather than text to indicate current league?  I'm going to add a note to the Football League Cup talk page as well, since it's a topic of interest beyond just this season. Simianvector (talk) 00:10, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Extra time scores
It's misleading to report the score after 90 minutes when there were goals in extra time - in most places (e.g. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/league_cup/results/default.stm ), the result is given as it was after 120 minutes.

Instead of: "Doncaster Rovers 1-1 Accrington Stanley (Accrington Stanley won 2-1 after extra time)"

You should put: "Doncaster Rovers 1-2 Accrington Stanley (After extra time; 1-1 after 90 minutes)"

Otherwise, people skimming through for the result might think that the game finished 1-1.

The talk page for last season implies that the result is listed after 90 minutes because that's how the FA does it. http://www.thefa.com/TheFACup/FACompetitions/TheFACup/History/CupFinalResults implies otherwise - for example, the 1993 cup final replay. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.73.146.106 (talk) 16:54, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
