No more FA cup replays

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Apparently

And sides in European comps won’t play in the League Cup

Source? Maybe not a bad idea, though will be a shame for those smaller teams who force a replay, and get a chance to either play at a massive stadium or bring one of the top sides to their home ground, which is one of the best things about replays.

They should have European spot for winner

I’d bring back the CWC and bin off this shit Europa conference

 

[Bamber]

That will bring some prestige back to the cup! another factor introduced to favour the big clubs

 

[Bangkok Blackcat]

The 73 replay against Manchester City must be one of my favourite matches.

There's FA Cup replays this week so guessing it only starts when the big dogs like ourselves enter.

 

[jackynutmeg]

But sides in L1 still have to play full strength teams in the shit cup?
(Hopefully we don't have to face that again)

 

[NI Mackem]

They're just trying to condense everything.

 

[Lucky1985]

I’m not big on disparities. If they bin replays this year they shoul ban them for everyone, not just for the elite.

Will totally de value the league cup

The Times are reporting it

 

[Lo Ursem]

May as well scrap the cups.

It’s for future years

Been on the agenda for a few week now. I led to believe its only for this season because of the WC.

Being talked about PL teams paying lower league teams compensation if games were to finish as a draw at full time to make up for money loss of a replay.

 

[Mowgli]

No big 6/European sides in the league Cup makes it worthless. Hardly an achievement to win it.

Does it benefit the bigger clubs? We've got more chance of beating City in extra time and penalties than we do having to play them over 90 minutes again.

It’s for future years

Ah fair enough, really wouldn't have been overly surprised (and still wouldn't) if the FA decide in the next three months to introduce it at the start of the 3rd round this year because of the World Cup.

Why?
The rest of us don't matter.

Might aswell get rid of it to be honest

I thunk I prefer it that way, will see plenty of different teams having a day out and winning silverware
