    FA Cup replays are officially cancelled

    Posted by Earls on 18/4/2024, 11:11:42

    Replays are being cancelled from the first round onwards. Well done, everyone.

        History, tradition, the romance of the cup mean nothing to "owners" - only misguided prestige, money and superficial bragging rights count.

        Better to cancel the League Cup than reduce the value of the FA Cup with this move

          Better to cancel the League Cup...

          Don't worry, I'm sure that's the next little project in the pipeline

          It all allows European competition to expand ever further and bring in the Super League gradually and by stealth

          The step after that will be to reduce the Prem to 18 or, even, 16 teams

        As others have said, this is the very biggest clubs yet again skewing things further in their favour.

        It's not like they don't put out lesser squads anyway.

          Lower league clubs should offered home tie in 3rd round.

            Agreement made between EFL and PL. So the 300+ non league clubs weren't consulted then?

              Between the PL and FA actually. But I expect you are right about the level of consultation.

                And it's a shame it was the FA and not the EFL really. At least the EFL would fight for their members interests, even though they would no doubt do it incompetently and lose out in the end. See their refusal to change EFL semi-finals to single leg until some agreement from the PL on funding is reached.

                The FA are just a bunch of lily livered cowards in awe of the premier league.

                  The FA have totally abdicated their responsibility for governing football in England.

                  Mostly because they were so desperate to get one over on the FL back in 1992.

              So - if there's no replays, for the 3rd round onwards....draw the teams out.

              If they are of the same division, the home/away stands, as drawn.

              If they are different divisions the lower team chooses where the game gets played. They can choose between (potential) 'soccer' glory or $$$$'s, negating SOME of the impact of no replays.

                  To be fair there are some changes that are welcome, 5th round back to the weekend, FA cup weekends being exclusive of PL games including the final which will be later in the season.

                  Another rule change to benefit 6 or 7 clubs out of hundreds. With each passing day I find myself less and less bothered by football as a whole, excluding Luton of course.

                        Anytime we’ve had a replay the last ten years or so most on here have said put the reserves out anyway

                          Fair point, although Bolton fans were rightly happy after the draw at Kenilworth Road as they had the chance to knock a premier league side out at home. It just rubs me the wrong way that this is all because of the expanded European competitions next season

                            Personally. If have kept replays for up to 4th round, then it's on the day. no extra time either. Straight to penalties.

                          Allow big clubs to concentrate on later rounds of Europe, if they are still in it of course.

                            Yeah, because English clubs really struggled in Europe in the 80s when third replays still happened.

                              You think it's the same game as the 80s then?

                                It’s still played to 90 minutes to broadly the same Laws. So yes. It’s only the admin that’s changed. It’s hilarious there are no English clubs left in the Champions League semis. This won’t change that a jot.

                                  No mate, it's played at a much quicker pace and the demands on players are much higher. The days of sinking 10 pints then wear a bin bag to sweat it out next day are long gone.Training methods are more stringent. Its a different game.
                                  I still don't agree with removing replays though.

                                    Of course it's not THEIR fault.
