    FA Cup Replays

    Posted by Ramridge Raider on 19/4/2024, 20:44:27

    I'm probably in the minority on this but I'm glad they scrapped the replays. Personally, I just found them tedious in a competition that has lost its value.

    I also like VAR and Financial Fair Play. Both need work but far better than other options.

    Again, a very minority view but I think the FA and Premier League have made some pretty good decisions recently.

              Who benefits from no replays?

                What do you think about the FA asking the BBC to bring back Cup Final It's a Knock Out with Stuart Hall .

                    Not trying to pick a fight as I'm pretty old school, but I don't get the resistance to progress.

                    Loved the eighties football, watching and playing, but life has moved on.

                      So the reduction in the amount of football the biggest clubs play means the PL will have an extra week off. How convenient that that is perfect for pre season tours of Asia or America! Also, the champions league clubs will be playing more matches, most of them meaningless. Meanwhile the smaller clubs who would traditionally earn the right for a pay-day replay get zilch - which only happens a few times a year but can and has been a lifesaver for quite a few clubs.

                      It's in line with the continued expansion of elite football to increase the money making output of the whole enterprise - TV and sponsorships included

                      I would personally be in favour of clubs announcing a boycot of the competition unless the reinstate replays, at least in the third and fourth rounds

                      Anyway, COYH

                        This isnt progress imo
                        It is a delibrate attempt to close down the greatest cup competition on the planet. No other country comes close.
                        This is to start establishing a European Super League by stealth via the Champions League, a mismatch of a name if there ever was one. FA cup replays will interefere with the new format of the CL and hence stopping replays.
                        We should not be so fast to fall in to the argument of this is progress, it isnt and is detrimental to the lower leagues.
                        It is a disgrace what they are trying to get away with tbh

                        the magic of them was them being played in the week after the first game, the 10 day rule killed it a bit for me personally.

                          I also recall Arsenal having about 4 replays to beat Everton (or might of have been Sheff Wed).

                            It was Sheffield Wednesday, 1979 I think. I seem to remember that it was finally settled at Filbert Street. Though I might be wrong.

                              I recall playing Charlton (I think) and three replays were needed.
